Nerves are as tight as the strings of a guitar
Rain hits the ground and makes a sound like a drum
With sunrise until sunset
Time is frozen forever
We fire in all directions
Tanks, infantry, flares, artillery we defeat
But we'll be mobilized again.
But we'll be mobilized again, crowded forward
Come on, for life, come on brother, let's live it up
Come on, for them, those who fought with you
Come on, for life, what the hell with the hateful war
Remember them, those who fought with you
Grey skies loom over Our heads
The sky is covered with a thin fog
We want to believe that it's all over
But leaning beside me is my wounded comrade
You bear it, my dear brother. You can't die now
You'll live happily ever after
We're going to dance at your wedding
You'll be like an innocent child in the sky
Come on, for the sake of life, brave brother, let's live it up
Come on, for the sake of them, the ones who are waiting for you at home
Come on, for the sake of life. Never mind the hateful war
Remember them, those who wait for you at home
Come, for them, for us
For Siberia, for the Caucasus
For cities far from the dawn
For friends, for lovers
Come, for you, for us
For frontline Brothers, for brothers on the border
For the medals of the country
Photographs taken by my grandfather in Berlin in forty-five years
found in old albums
when he was a commander in the Red Army
smells of green grass
at dawn
Hands and feet trampled by the boots of the soldiers
From the land that has been Bombed out of the ground with a groan
Come on, for life
Come on, for them
Come on, for life
Let's remember those who have been with us
