Текст песни Надежда Обухова - Как служил солдат

How a soldier served a military service,
Military service, difficult service.
He served twenty years and another five years,
The General-General gave him a vacation.

As a soldier came to his birthplace,
All chest in crosses, gray-haired, like a moon.
On the porch is a young wife
It was as if twenty years old.

There is no wrinkle on her cheeks,
Not a fight in the braids of girls
The soldier looked at his wife
And the soldier said a bitter word.

"You see, wife, lived well,
Lived well, not aged. "
And in response from the porch she says
He says she cries bitterly.

"I am not your wife, I am lawful,
And I am your daughter, an orphan daughter.
And your wife is in her fifth year
In the damp earth under the birch. "

As he entered the hut, a soldier sat at a table,
Zelena wine ordered to file,
The soldier drinks all night, on a gray mustache
Either the wine flows, or the teardrops.

The soldier drinks wine, on his cheeks
Either the wine flows, or the teardrops.
