Igor Marozov - Machine gun and guitar / Автомат и гитара english lyrics

eng:
Machine gun and guitar
In the Afghan war.
Someone will say: "Not a couple!
There is no romance!"
I do not argue, believe me,
But I would like to ask:
"Have you ever
gone to raids?"
Have you counted the weeks
Before flying home,
have you ever eaten
a dry ration in the frontline.
Not on hiking trips,
Not in the woods by the fire,
Nature is poorer there
And the wind is stronger.
Fires blaze there,
And in a fierce battle
Louder than any guitar
The rocks themselves sing.
Do you know tiredness
After a hard day?
If this happened,
you would understand me.
Yes, there is no romance,
There is work and blood.
Someone believed in victory,
Someone believed in love,
Someone knew that he would return,
Yes, he fell under fire.
And
our memory of him will resound like a string!
The properties of Our souls in war have not been studied
.
Someone raved about heroism,
And we sang about the snow,
About the lands where we were born,
Yes, about the rustle of birches,
And we were not at all ashamed
With the dust of mixed tears.
You, who did not know, like,
There is no reason to grieve,
You live in peace,
We really can’t live like that.
We can't get out of the fight,
We can't go back
And we can't tune the guitars
In a lyrical way.
Fighting guitars,
I sing you a song.
Yes, the guitar is not a match for
the Machine Gun in battle.
But, having corrected all the laws
In this miserly world,
You burned in the columns
At the same time with the player.
You were pierced by bullets
And shrapnel flogged,
Thin vultures bent,
Yes, they could not break.
And far from the Union
You are in the hands of the soldiers
Proved that the muses
are not silent in the war.
Machine gun and guitar
In the Afghan war.
Someone will say: "Not a couple!
There is no romance!"
I'm not thinking of arguing,
To sing about or not to sing,
I need to tune my guitar
I must be in time for the battle!
