Песня Red Army blues с переводом на русский | Группа waterboys the | Альбом A Pagan place

When I left my home and my family My mother said to me "Son, it's not how many Germans you kill that counts It's how many people you set free! "

Когда я покидал свой отчий дом и семью, Моя мама сказала мне: «Сынок, важно не сколько ты убьёшь немцев, А скольких людей вызволишь из плена!»

2

So I packed my bags Brushed my cap Walked out into the world Seventeen years old Never kissed a girl

Ну, я собрал свои пожитки, Отряхнул шапку И отправился в этот мир, Семнадцати лет отроду, Никогда не целовавший девчонку.

Took the train to Voronezh That was as far as it would go Changed my sacks for a uniform Bit my lip against the snow I prayed for mother Russia In the summer of '43 And as we drove the Germans back I really believed That God was listening to me

Сел на поезд до Воронежа, Ну, то есть, до конечной. Переоделся из гражданки в солдатскую форму, Закусив губу, шёл сквозь снег и стужу. Молился за Россию-матушку Летом 43-го. И когда мы погнали немцев назад, Я по-настоящему поверил, Что Бог слышит меня.

We howled into Berlin Tore the smoking buildings down Raised the red flag high Burnt the Reichstag brown I saw my first American And he looked a lot like me He had the same kinda farmer's face Said he'd come from some place called Hazzard, Tennessee

С криками «ура» мы ворвались в Берлин, Снося дымящиеся руины. Водрузили красный флаг над Рейхстагом, Который сгорел до остова. Я впервые встретил там американца, Он был очень похож на меня: У него было такое же крестьянское лицо. Он сказал, что родом из Хаззарда, штат Теннесси.

Then the war was over My discharge papers came Me and twenty hundred others Went to Stettiner for the train Kiev! Said the commissar From there your own way home But I never got to Kiev We never came by home Train went north to the Taiga We were stripped and marched in file Up the great siberian road For miles and miles and miles and miles Dressed in stripes and tatters In a gulag left to die All because Comrade Stalin was scared that We'd become too westernized!

Затем войне пришёл конец. Мне выдали документы об увольнении в запас. Я и 2 000 демобилизованных, подобно мне, Отправились в Штеттин на поезде. «Киев!» — сказал комиссар, — «А потом сами добирайтесь до дома». Но я так и не доехал до Киева. Мы никогда больше не увидели родного дома. Поезд отправился прямиком на север в тайгу. У нас отобрали форму и заставили идти затылок в затылок По большому сибирскому тракту Сотни и сотни километров, Укутанными в лохмотья. Прямиком в ГУЛАГ, обречённые на смерть. И всё потому, что товарищ Сталин боялся, Что мы пропитались тлетворным духом Запада.

Used to love my country Used to be so young Used to believe that life was The best song ever sung I would have died for my country In 1945 But now only one thing remains But now only one thing remains But now only one thing remains But now only one thing remains The brute will to survive!

Я любил свою Родину, Я был таким молодым, Верил, что жизнь — Это лучшая спетая тобой песня. Лучше бы я умер за свою страну В сорок пятом. А теперь только одно остаётся, А теперь только одно остаётся, А теперь только одно остаётся, А теперь только одно остаётся, — Животное желание выжить!
