Romanized Russian Lyrics:
V voenkomate sluchaĭ byl:
Sedoĭ parnishka prikhodil,
Prosil, chtoby obratno vzyali v stroĭ.
V nedoumenʹe byli vse,
Nikto ne mog ponyatʹ, zachem,
I lishʹ starik polkan sprosil ego:
Chechnya v ogne - vtoroĭ Afgan,
Kuda zhe rveshʹsya ty, patsan,
I chto tebya tak silʹno tyanet v boĭ?
Uzhe tam byl, domoĭ prishel,
Izranennyĭ, no vse zh zhivoĭ,
I chto tebe pokoya ne dayot?
Sedoĭ parnishka postoyal,
I vzglyad svoĭ v storonu ubral,
Chtob slyozy svoi skrytʹ,
Chtob slyozy skrytʹ……
V voenkomate tishina,
Kak prigovor zvuchat slova,
Kotorye ne v silakh povtoritʹ:
Ya videl smertʹ, ya videl boĭ,
Domoĭ vernulsya ya zhivoĭ,
No tam menya uzhe nikto ne zhdet.
Lyubimoya moya s drugim,
I v ėtom mire ya odin,
A tam moi druzʹya shturmuyut dzot…
Vo sne ya vizhu strakh i ad
I slyshu zvuki kanonad,
No tam moi druzʹya vsegda so mnoĭ.
Oni pomogut i spasut, i ruku druzhby podadut,
Nu a ubʹyut - tak telo prinesut…
Chechnya v ogne - vtoroĭ Afgan,
Kuda zhe rveshʹsya ty, patsan,
I chto tebya tak silʹno tyanet v boĭ?
Uzhe tam byl, domoĭ prishel,
Izranennyĭ, no vse zh zhivoĭ,
I chto tebe pokoya ne dayot?
Ya videl smertʹ, ya videl boĭ,
Domoĭ vernulsya ya zhivoĭ,
No tam menya uzhe nikto ne zhdet.
Lyubimoya moya s drugim,
I v ėtom mire ya odin,
A tam moi druzʹya shturmuyut dzot… - Hudba

Almost did
found this song and another one some time after my brakeup, realised i had lost all my hobbies and interests and made my girl the only light in my life. I broke up cause she wasnt the girl for me, plus we live in diffirent cities cause of college and shit. All my friends went to the same city as my now ex aswell, and now i just feel complitely empty inside and alone, thinking of how it all coudev been diffirent if i went with them to that city.
Dont know where im going with this but yea, this song hits me

American Anti-war songs: power, loud, angry
Russian Anti-War songs: gentle, matter-of-fact, sorrowful
Yea it's basically because anti-war advocates in the States are pretty resentful about war, itself.
the difference is that anti war protesters in the US are civil leftists. And in Russia, war veterans who saw everything with their own eyes.
Let me elaborate on what was already pointed out. Most American anti war songs are not written by veterans. The Russian songs aren't even intended to be pro war or anti war, they're just an honest retelling of events, or an honest description of the type of people found in war, and they're always sung by veterans. Most American songs can be boiled down to "war bad, peace good" with no nuance or depth to their viewpoints. Men who have actually seen combat are much more conflicted about it. Even here in America, I know a guy who did 2 tours in Afghanistan and 1 in Syria and was still ready to reenlist, but was rejected over medical concerns. In Russia, Alexander Buinov saw combat in Afghanistan, and he still writes pro military music. I know a Ukrainian who was there as well, a tank platoon lead, and that guy lives for war. He only left Ukraine because he's pro Russian
Russian culture is focused on the inner experiences of a person; therefore, the description of many events in it is very personal. We combine this with the fact that until recently, on orders to the war, mostly conscripts aged 18 to 27 years old (mostly guys from 18 to 23 years old) came, who really did not see life, forced by the situation to kill people. Just keep it in your head while listening to these songs
Is it an anti-war song ? I dont think so. It rather seems to have a sensitive and realistic approach of war consequences. Nothing ideological here.
The russian treat almost everything sentimentaly, never heard any American songs with the same style,
The closest thing is probably some old folk and "country" songs, usually sentimental about the simple life of rural living, or their father's truck lol
@@CePardonMe Old cowboy songs are cool af, Marty Robbins - Prairie Fire is such a cool song for me since we don't really have that kind of natural disasters in Europe.
We germans have old folk songs that are similar. Of soldiers who tell their storys of all their friends dying in war but they still fight on for some reason. Songs like that really hit hard I think regardless of the country they came from.
Different cultures makes different styles I suppose.
Then you haven't listened.
The lyrics are very relevant, even today. Soviet Afghan war veterans came back to a country falling apart. They were treated like dirt and since many were drafted straight out of high school, had virtually no opportunities aside form becoming hitmen for mobsters. Many of them missed war. Despite it being horrible, they had some sort of purpose, and above all they missed brotherhood - soldiers prioritize the lives of their comrades before their own, flawless loyalty.
@Johnny English Your english is good dude. and your story is very valuable, so thank you.
@Johnny English Hm, jihads are terrorist tho, but yall defended yout contry i guess, even in some "unorthodox" ways
Stong Russia never falls apart you traitor 💪💪💪
@@capt-rex2894 well not really, jihad is islamic concept of struggle and muslim prophet Muhammed said there are two types of jihad, minor one and greater one, minor one is fighting for protection of one's life, property, nation and religion and such things while greater types of jihad are "fights" versus yourself that is struggling to become a better person and avoiding bad habits, so jihadist in a military sense is any muslim soldier who is fighting for defense of his motherland, family, existence, property, his own life and lives of his fellow comrades, jihadists are not terrorists, terrorists are terrorists
@@thinkaboutgod5238 Bro Kosovo's Average Wage is almost as high as Russias. Nothing against Russia, I really like it. But you don't have to call him Traitor. The Soviet Union was great but not Russia.
This one hits hard. I struggled for years to reintegrate back into civilian life after Afghanistan. I wanted so badly to go back because I felt lost without my rifle, my comrades, a purpose and felt like I had nothing back in America.
It is so much that soldiers are risking: their life, their limbs, their friends and their mental health. I hope, you are better now
Losing rifle is hardest feeling a man can feel. Stay strong Brother!
@Yes-Man i did
@Yes-Man i did
@Whoosh you’re gay I did
This music is still relevant today. Thousands of soldiers come home to no one to greet them, only to go back to the service because there they had people who would go through thick and thin with them.
I was reading a memoir of an American who served in Vietnam. While on an in-country R&R he met an officer who was drunk off his ass and had crashed his jeep into a ditch. As he was helping him the officer said something along the lines of "This is my third war. When there is a war on they love a soldier, but when there is peace you are like the bastard conceived out of wedlock that the family is embarrassed of."
@@julianscaeva4334 sadly he was right
@@julianscaeva4334 There is an old Swedish "saying" / "poem".
It goes:
"Gud och soldaten hedrar vi, när ofreden råder och de står oss bi. Men när fred råder och fyllda är faten, glömma vi Gud och föraktar soldaten." It is originally written by man named Francis Quarles
"Our God and Souldiers we alike adore,
Ev’n at the Brink of danger; not before:
After deliverance, both alike required;
Our God’s forgotten, and our Souldiers slighted."
One of the few things I like about the US is that the people take pride in soldiers (mostly), but here they are treated like shit when they get back home.
War is hell.

@@SatansOps Beautiful poem! Also you translated into English on your own?

This hits so much harder when you know the translation. Thank you.
Just the concept of a "Grey-Haired Boy" kind of speaks volumes of the toll it all takes on you.
of all the different war songs out there, Russian songs always tell the most brutal and realistic stories. it's a hard & horrifying truth.
Actually this song is one of the neutral ones. There are songs that are getting harder and harder. For example, a song about a 16-year-old Chechen girl sniper. It is sung there: “And it is not given to her to understand that death is already near - she will still be caught and the end will be sad. And she will shout in Russian: “Guys, don't ...! "- no one will regret, no one will turn away ..."
There is another song written during the war too. Where it is sung "We didn’t want to kill, but you decided everything for us. You don’t give a damn about losses - but well, we are all already dead. War brings you income, because life and death are easy to sell, replenish a new bank account and betray all of us behind our backs. "
@@user-xx4xx2ig9o What's the name of the song?
@@misterjohan4993 In fact, there are many more such songs about the Chechen wars, but they are filled with difficult-to-translate words such as jargon and terms that are used in the Russian army. Therefore, for each such song, you will need to write a couple of sheets with their explanation.
@@user-xx4xx2ig9o can you tell me how to find them? Especially the one that you described about the girl sniper. Im interested. Also, i've been listening to russian for years I learned something and most importantly I can compare it to my language, so I understand a lot of things. I don't know how, I just know I understand them.
Irish war music is cheeky and defiant, american war music is proud and willfully arrogant, english nationalist music is also proud, australian war music is melancholly but powerful... Russian war music... russian war music is just sad, deeply sad... I feel for those boys over there, they never asked for their lot in life, they arent proud of their lot but they fight anyway because thats what one does for their nation.
May I never see you on the other side of a wepon as long as I live. I raise a glass to you, Davai gentlemen, davai.
Deepest regards from Russia.
Let's pray we'll never fight each other. Cheers.

Fuck man, this one had me In tears. Coming home to find everything you had loved and cared for gone, and realising that all you had left was the battlefield and your comrades, just the thought of that hurts so much.
Man, the collapse of the USSR and Yugoslavia did give us some good music
Thats the one upside, I guess
that's one way to see it)
I only wish they unite again so they can fall apart one more time.
Not sure about Yugoslavia, most of our music was about war crimes and war criminals on both sides. These russian songs have some deeper emotions and meanings involved in them.
@@misterjohan4993 Yeah, there will always be songs like "Oj Alija aljo" but then there will be songs like "Sini jarko sunce sa kosova," who are more emotional, whilst still obviously very nationalist, songs about what was perceived lost during the war. You also have songs like "Himna za zivot Srbije" or "Hriste Boze." I'm sorry for the very Serbian examples, I'm not some ultra nationalist, they just happened to be on my playlist as I was typing
I wrote a poem, in the style of german romanticism, based on this song:
Der grauhaarige Bursche (Nach einem Lied):
Zur Einberufung kam jener
junge Bursch von grauem Haar,
auf dass das Heer ihn nehme an erneut.
Doch konnt' gar niemand ihn verstehn,
sich wieder gen des Kriegs zu sehn'n,
Der alte Korporal sprach unerfreut:
„Tschetschenien brennt,
wie einst Afghan -
Dort findest du nur Tod und Gram,
was also ist's, das dich vom Frieden trennt?
Du warst dort schon,
folgtest dem Eid,
und kehrtest heim, trotz Qual und Leid,
so freue dich, dies ist des Friedens Lohn.“
Der graue Bursch dann einsam stand
und sich vom Korporal abwand,
auf dass niemand die Trän' sah, die da rann',
Da fiel die Stille um ihn her,
eh' Worte sprach er, wehmut schwer,
die zu wiederholen niemand wagen kann:
„Ich sah die Schlacht,
und auch den Tod,
Und kehrt' ich heim, was sich mir bot,
war, dass ich einsam lag, manch dunkle Nacht.
Und mein Herzlieb
sie ist fort,
mit and'rem Mann an and'rem Ort,
hab nur die Kameradschaft, die mir blieb.
Und wahnhaft träum ich, jede Nacht,
vom Donnerhall der wütend' Schlacht,
Doch im Feld warten Freunde, die's versteh'n.
Sie halfen mir, im treuen Bund,
tät mancher Akt der Freundschaft Kund,
dass Bruderbande all Leid übersteh'n."
English (non poetic translation):
To the convocation went one
young lad with gray hair,
so that the army may accept him again.
But nobody could understand him
to long for the war again,
The old corporal said worried:
"Chechnya is on fire,
like Afghan once -
There you will only find death and grief,
so what is it that separates you from peace?
You've been there already
obeyed the oath
and you returned home, in spite of pain and suffering,
so rejoice, this is the reward of peace. "
The gray lad then stood lonely
and turned away from the corporal, so that no one saw the tears that were running [down his cheek].
Then the silence fell around him,
ere words he spoke, heavy with melancholy,
which nobody dares to repeat:
"I saw the battle
and death too,
And when I returned home what was offered to me,
was that I was lonely, many a dark night.
And my dearest
she is gone,
with another man in another place, [I've] only got the camaraderie that remained.
And I dream maddeningly every night
of the thunder of the furious battle, But friends are waiting in the field who'd understand.
They've helped me, in the faithful covenant,
and many an act of friendship told , that bands of brothers can survive all hardship. "
It's beautiful, thank you for sharing it!
@@OmnistarEast No problem. Thank you for your kind words.
Bravo! Ich habe das Gedicht laut vorgelesen. Es klingt toll, wirklich gut gemacht. Grüße aus der Slowakei

Sehr gut
the thing i like about Russians war mindset: they don't spew glory BS about war & being honest about the true nature of war.
You should see their military marches, musically they're amazing. They make you want to join the army in a way you havent experienced before.
@@akingungormus7428yeah, these Soviet marches and songs was designed specifically to fight back Nazi’s. There was no time for feeling sad or sorry, it was kill or be killed. But not all of them was like this tho. There’s a “Take your coat, we’re going home” and “He never return from the battle” songs, which are amazing and they are as well sorrowful. Also there is highly patriotic songs in modern days, but i doubt anyone who was actually in army listens to them.
Только тот, кто служил, знает, каково это вернуться в пустой дом и обнаружить, что ты никому не нужен. И насколько это страшнее линии огня.

Полкан ("polkan") - Полковник - Colonel
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I looked everywhere for a definition and the only thing it would give me is a mythical centaur
@@OmnistarEast Let's not rule anything out.
@@julianscaeva4334 you never know maybe some of these files were lost around the collapse of the soviet union
@@OmnistarEast Oh! Mythical centaur is perhaps the best definition for a colonel! xD
@@OmnistarEast At one time in the 18-19 century, guard dogs in Russia were often called Polkan in honor of that very centaur. Because of the consonance, the colonels also began to be called that, in the sense that he is like a faithful service dog.
the story of most veterans in one song. and no matter in which war he was. Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iraq, Chechnya, Kosovo, etc. The state took advantage of you and later threw you out. Vietnam / Afghan syndrome or PTSD. how many Ivan, Johan, John, etc. to find common ground with each other if they were ordinary guys fighting while politicians were piling up capital
Do you still feel the same way?
0:23 "And the Old " Polkan" " means an old colonel (colonel=polkovnik in russian army and polkan is a slang name of this rank)
Warm regards and love to all USSR/Russian veterans from the US. Many of my direct family members are veterans, some of Vietnam and some of Afghanistan after 9/11. I know firsthand the toll it can take on a person and that toll doesn't change depending on the nationality.
Commander Cadigan, Warm regards to you as well from Russia.
Love to you too! From Far-East of Russia.
In the frame 2:26 in the lower left corner you can see a man in dark red glasses - this is Anatoly Romanov.
Anatoly Alexandrovich Romanov - Russian Colonel-General, a former commander of the Russian Interior Ministry and the Commander of the Joint Group of Federal Forces in Chechnya, Hero of the Russian Federation. 1995 - Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation - the commander of the Interior Troops of the Russian Interior Ministry.
On October 6, 1995, Romanov went to a meeting with the Russian politician Khasbulatov to discuss the details of a peace treaty with Chechen militants. But while driving through a tunnel under a railway bridge in Grozny, a land mine exploded. The car in which General Romanov was traveling was in the center of the explosion. Romanov was seriously wounded, miraculously survived, but remained disabled.
It is known that at the beginning of 2014, the general still could not speak, but reacted to the speech of other people with facial expressions, sometimes with a wave of his hand, and was also able to understand texts written on paper.
A program is being created that can recognize Romanov's eye movements and, thus, type text. The general's physical condition is satisfactory: he is not exhausted (his weight is about 70 kilograms), he has no bedsores, his muscles are weakened, but they have not atrophied.
It is believed that his own people blew it up or sold his route to the Chechens

As a veteran soldier who went in Afghanistan when I was 21, this song hit me right in the feels.

@@yourworstnightmare1488 yeah and this is only a few years later for the war in Chechnya

As an American, and the grandchild/child of veterans, there is really something resonating with this. There are times where my great grandfather, grandfather and father wanted to go back to war and the Military, as for the longest time, there was nothing to come back home to.
To all Russian, American, hell any veterans across the world, I know it doesn't mean much coming from a single American, some cases, Especially an American.
But I care about you, even if I don't know you, I hope you remain safe along with your brothers and sisters in arms.

Nice of you to say bud. Respect from a Russian in NYC. I hate movies like Enemy at the gates or Charlie Wilson’s war as they completely misrepresent what it was like for Russian soldiers
Poor Russians, returning home. Years spent in warzone, many friends injured, some dead. They came home just to see, that the country they served for has fallen apart and the only thing that is there is mafia, corruption and downfall.
Same for your US troops returning back to America. No one needs or wants the veterans anywhere. Brutal truth
@@dralzgamer2354 US vets don't have it easy, however, it's nothing in comparison with former soviet soldiers. Imagine returning home to see that your country no longer exists, and some of your own countrymen consider you an enemy.
@@TheMuro22 in the early 90's it wasn't that. everyone agreed relatively well. later the resistance of the crumbling state began. Vilnius, Baku, Tbilisi, Moscow. When the authorities of a collapsing country released troops against civilians. the dead, the blood, the anger .. and worst of all those who were in power that year will not take responsibility "the soldiers carried out the slaughter at their own discretion". The Afghans (the so-called soldiers who served there) have so far been friendly towards each other until 1994. Chechnya, 2008 Georgia and 2015 Ukraine. Once upon a time in the same trench, they turned their weapons on each other. And what to say to living veterans of World War II? One of them is sitting crying and saying the grandchildren of my former service friends killed my granddaughter. If not for the leaders of some states, those people would continue to be in touch.
all wars are caused by kings, emperors, or presidents. and ordinary men, women, and children are killed in them while they may have lived, made friends, traded, or shared experiences. How much together we would have reached in all areas.
@@someonewhosupportukraine People love to fight. There's a reason guys will reenlist time and time again until someone in charge tells them they don't make the cut anymore. Not to mention, look at how many military cultures there are around the world, and what has happened to countries that try to suppress such a culture, like Germany and Japan. Politicians have their agendas, absolutely, but they still need enough people to sign up to willingly help them accomplish those goals. For example, Hitler wanted to rule the world, but he couldn't have gotten in the front door of the Reichstag, much less to the outskirts of Moscow, without the huge public support he had. They have their agendas, but never forget that they need ordinary people like you and me to agree to what they want to do
@@someonewhosupportukraine It's really scary and painful... Imagine, for example, what it was like for Soviet veterans of Afghanistan. They went to carry out the order of their Homeland, to bring civilization and socialism to a backward country, as they said at that time, "to fulfill an international duty," and after returning from the war, the scum Gorbachev destroyed the USSR and sold, betrayed everything for which they shed blood and died... And after that, they were generally called occupiers... And they wore the Order of the Red Banner, the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, a state that no longer existed... And instead of justice and happiness in their country came the collapse and betrayal...

Даже не из-за смысла, не из-за посыла... Они прекрасны, но это не мешает моим ушам просто таять от интонации, слов, рифм и самой речи. Я готов прослушать это ещё хоть тысячу раз, а потом отдохнуть от песни, чтоб продолжить и дальше её слушать...
Фразу "ну а убьют, так тело принесут" лучше было перевести как "or if I die they'll bring the body"
А то получается искажение смысла. Кого они убьют и на кой черт таскают трупы
я тоже заметил...верно.
The lyrics of this song, penetrate my heart with sorrow. For those of you who have never seen combat, people in such a stressful situation become courageous, generous and selfless. Selflessness and generosity are the most precious things in the world, because when someone gives them to you, he proves to you that you are not alone, you have him. When the war is over and you go home, you have no one who gives you anything, and you feel alone and forgotten. Ask any veteran, and he will tell you how much he misses the war.
No, any veteran do not misses the war but misses the sense of comradeship and brotherhood during such a terrible time.
Боевого братства не хватает на гражданке. А жаль
Bro, very good translation, but “Polkan” means Polkovnik - Colonel. So it’s like “Old colonel”.
Also, Polkan is a typical dog name. Just think about.
The (very) human side of soldiers
War brings out the best out of people, and the worst

Блин... Сколько иностранцев интиресуются нашей музыкой и им она даже нравится, я начинаю чувствовать гордость за наших музыкантов которые писали и/или пишут такие хорошие песни.
As an American Russian war songs are the best there is, the russian language is beautiful and I guess the suffering Russia has gone through throughout history seems to give the music more soul than any other nation's music. I love the Russian People, like I do the Ukranians who share a lot of history with you, but all of our governements could use some work.

Once you realize the true meaning the song it's sad it's about a soldier who recognizes the military as his family because that's all he has since his love left him
Thanks for the video :-) I think you've got a couple mistakes though. 1:52 - if my ears aren't totally failing me, they sing "они поддержут и спасут". At 2:00, if I'm understanding this right, the idea is "if I'm killed, they'll bring my body back", rather than "they'll kill and bring corpses" which doesn't really make any sense.
Yes, that makes more sense... I was adapting from a translator, and the other translation said that but I was also confused by it.
@@OmnistarEast the thing is just that we love to omit words in conditionals and other "complicated" structures, so academically-tuned translators would be like "what kind of BS are you trying to feed me, human?!". For example this particular case is changed like "ну а *если меня* убьют, так *они(мои друзья)* *моё* тело принесут *домой* ", which in english looks kinda like "well, *if I* get killed, *they(my friends)* will bring *my* corpse *back home* "
(Bold is used for omitted words. I just don't know how to make crossed text)
Escuche esta canción hace un mes sin tener idea de la letra, y aún sin saber una sola palabra de ruso me encanto su nostalgia auténtica. Solo una guitarra y una voz.
Ahora que sé lo que dice la letra, lo hace aún más devastadora y melancólica, pero algo reconfortante. Una joya que estoy agradecido de hacer encontrado en CZcams
Its not "they'll kill and bring corpses" its "and if I get killed, they'll take back my corpse"
1:59 proper translation: If I get killed they will return my corpses

A straightforward song that a lot of American boys, too, have learned in the last 20 years.
It is from wars in Chechnya. The first one, I presume
Thought this one is from Afghanistan (79-89) and the chechen one is based off the beat of this song?
these lyrics slap unlike today's music
It's 14:48 here, I'm working and this is the first time a song that hits me that hard. I'm sorry for any veteran who felt all his efforts were in vain and were never able to fit in life again.
This song kind of made me emotional, not going to lie. Great song, poor Russians.
Russians aren't poor, man...there are many stories, this is one of many happy ones...there are songs about them, but it's a little more pleasant to suffer )))
Those guitar tracks give me strong STALKER Campfire atmosphere feel

Respect to all the soldiers who died in Afghanistan. War is Hell
You are epic tour songs are increíble footages
Glad you enjoy them!
Beautiful with themes of personal betrayal and the addiction of being surrounded by people who would fight to the death with you. Haunting
A tear flows from my eyes after a long time.
This hits me hard and I didn't even serve in any military
The somber style of songs really gives you an emphasis on what these guys suffered through
Woah, that actually made me tear up. I have no experience in any war, nor has my family, but its so sad to think about soldiers who risked their life for their families, country, and loved ones. Just to come back with nobody there.
Я заплакал смотря этот клип, это опять повторяется😔
Тяжёлая песня, из тех что пишутся от души. Хорошая у вас идея канала с переводом военных песен, это часть культуры к которой мы привыкли и даже не замечаем её уникальности из-за этого. Удачи.
Тексты русские, правда, неплохо бы искать в интернете или проверять редактором, а то жаль проделанной работы из-за ошибок и опечаток.
Согласен, спасибо! Я знаю, что во многих моих песнях есть опечатки, поэтому теперь я отправляю их русскоязычным друзьям перед публикацией - в моих новых песнях будет меньше ошибок.
I have been listenin to this non stop for two there days now such powerful words and a very nice guitar play!
Me too
These songs bring feelings of sorrow.. respect to them. ;(
Another perfect song. Thanks for all your effort, especially as it looks, you had to use translator a lot, lovely man.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it!
@@OmnistarEast Thank YOU
just randomly found this, didn't have to hit this hard. literally the first time i broke to tears because of a song, and im not even in the military in any way
The first time I heard it I also broke tears
Is just... It reaches one's soul
The bond you create in war is the most unique in my opinion.
ДАЙ БОГ НАШИМ МАЛЬЧИКАМ ОСТАТЬСЯ ЖИВИМИ И ВЕРНУТЬСЯ ДОМОЙ ! С ВЕЛИКИМ ПОКЛОНОМ ИЗ КАЗАХСТАНА !

thats why spotify sucks
man this song gets me every time, always makes me tear a bit
Me too.
Какой у него приятный голос
It saddens me to know how many interesting war stories have been lost because soldiers came back too scarred to tell them.
Especially from ww2. A lot of ww2 veterans are dead now and theres only a handful left...
Wow heart goes out to veterans with ptsd. If anyone is going thru this I pray they get to know the king of peace and find solace in Him.
Maybe we don't understand the words but by God, we feel them....
this song slaps and is also relevant, love it
Спасибо русской армии за победу над терроризмом!
Победы по итогу не было, к сожалению. Узнай получше, как вторая чеченская закончилась, официально да, по факту нет
@@olegborobikov3241Как не было то? Во второй чеченской войне, наши очень быстро захватили чечню, и грозный ( на тот момент Джахар) и совсем скоро вся чечня пала. В первой чеченской войне да, подписали договор из за выборов в России, так что фактически тогда Россия проиграла
Russian really looks like the language for sadness
That comes with being from Russia 😂

I wish we could live in a world with no wars.
It will be boring 🙃

Dont forget war is used as a tool for peace
@@christopherlupoi But after each war, people who have lost their family and friends in war will be mad at the other side, and when hate is involved there won't be real peace, only a silent waiting until the next war.
I wish it too. Russian.

Сильная песня, постоянно на слезу пробивает
these war songs are better ant war material than anti-war films
«Полкан» is «Полковник». Полковник - Colonel
1.59 you translate right, but meaning was, if I will be killed they will bring my body(bury)
эта песня каждый раз трогает мое сердце. Сегодня мир по-прежнему не сильно изменился. где-то война, где-то мир, но мы выживаем, мы выживаем. 😞
Ору, русские и чеченцы пишут на английском и только сербы пишут на русском 😁
на сербском
You can figure out who is right and who is to blame as much as you want. But the fact is that ordinary soldiers young guys suffer and die in these wars. Try to put yourself in the place of this kid in the song such pain will drive you crazy
1:59 "Ну а убьют - так тело принесут" "If I get killed - they'll bring my corpse back"
Какая красивая и грустная песня
одна из самых любимых песен.
Soldier buddies are doing things even your own family wont do for you.
Отличная музыка, спасибо.
A fixed translation from a native speaker of russian, and someone who has been learning english for 9 years.
There was scene in the enlistment office:
A grey haired boy came in
Asked to be brought back into service.
Everybody was confused.
Nobody could understand - why?
And only an old colonel* asked him:
Chechnya's is in flames,
A second afgan.
Where are you running to, kid?
And what calls you to battle so strongly?
Already been there, came back home.
Wounded, yet alive.
And what doesnt let you be at peace?
The grey haired boy stood for a while,
And then turned his gaze away
To hide his tears,
To hide the tears.
The enlistment office is silent.
The words sound like a verdict,
And they cant be repeated.
I saw death, i saw battle,
Came back home alive,
But there, nobody is waiting for me:
My loved one is with someone else,
And im all alone in this world.
But there, my friends are storming the foxholes...
In my dreams i see fear and hell,
And hear the sound of cannonades,
But over there my friends are always with me.
They'll support and help me,
And extend a hand of friendship.
And if i get killed - they'll bring my body back
Chechnya's is in flames,
A second afgan.
Where are you running to, kid?
And what calls you to battle so strongly?
Already been there, came back home.
Wounded, yet alive,
And what doesnt let you be at peace?
I saw death, i saw battle,
I came back home alive,
But there nobody is waiting for me:
My loved one is with someone else,
And im all alone in this world.
But there, my friends are storming the foxholes...
*Polkan is russian army slang for colonel, from the word полковник (polkovnik)
А чего ты "Полкан" не адаптировал?
Maybe you could translate sentence to “verdict”, and tree firing line to just “the tree line”? I don’t speak russian so i assume im probably quite far off. As a side note your English is fantastic
@@TheCynicalblue thanks for the help! I still wont change tfp to tree fire line since in the song дзот is an abbreviation (did i spell that right?) So i think it also should be in the translated lyrics
@@TheCynicalblue ДЗОТ is not a tree line, it is a dugout or foxhole reinforced with wood logs on top and on the sides to protect from artillery shrapnel and up to direct impacts from 82mm or 120mm mortars, with shoting positions for a heavy machine gun nest / automatic grenade launcher. Typically protected by platoon of infantry. Primitive strongpoitnt in defence line
