Текст песни Леонид Корнилов - Чуден Днепр

"WONDERFUL DNEPR"

Dnipro, you are wonderful "in calm weather"
And the weather is at war now.
And the coffins float among the people,
Like wreaths on a bloody wave.
For whom are your shoals, depths
Whose shore is more dear to the waves?
You flow in the middle of Ukraine
Or do you split it in half?
You can do Taras Shevchenko
Together with Gogol in the boat to carry,
And floats with you
Reflection of eternal Russia.
You sigh about the Russian expanse.
And, as before, you are steep on the coast,
And you fall into the Russian Sea,
Though his name is now Black.
And with all the Dnieper strength
Did you believe too
On the birthday of the new Russia,
How are the twins of the folk dream?
You are spreading with Russian blitzkrieg.
Is it reliable in the channel silt
You tightened the Khazar yoke
And rotted at the bottom, as in a dungeon?
"Wonderful Dnieper" was an unanswered answer.
And the wreaths keep floating and floating.
But won't the belief in victory wash away
Belief that it will be stolen?
... And, shaking his water lava,
Brought the Dnieper to a sparkling stretch,
Brought out the furious sword of Svyatoslav, -
He took it out so that it seemed to bring it in.
