Текст песни Шахтерский ансамбль З. Дунаевского - Говорят у нас в Донбассе

They say in our Donbas
Music: Z. Dunaevsky Words: S. Tsang

They say we have only dust in the Donbas.
They say in the steppe pegs a nick.
The miners are only the coal,
Well, the songs here are good.

Chorus:
They say? They say! After all, do not know - they say.
They say? They say! Well, in vain say.

What kind of fables are composed, what kind of nonsense!
The honored miner answers here:
Here, the Gardens Gardens bloom,
Here and sleigh songs sing.

Chorus:
They say? They say! Those who know - say.
They say? They say! And not in vain speak.

They say in the Donbass black houses,
And from the smoke day and night are thick darkness.
Here you will not find beautiful girls
And you will do without looking - you will fall into the mine.

Chorus:
They say? They say! After all, do not know - they say.
They say? They say! Well, in vain say.

But here the answer has been ready for a long time:
Do not learn Donetsk cities now.
The sky is not worse than in the Crimea.
Here and my heart is my heart.

Chorus:
They say? They say! Those who know - say.
They say? They say! And not in vain speak.

They say that the share is not easy
If you marry to leave me for the miner.
It will be more than a wife, love to slaughter.
They say: not be miner wives.

Chorus:
They say? They say! After all, do not know - they say.
They say? They say! Well, in vain say.

I listened, led led
And I walked a noble miner.
And the girlfriend wrote: come,
Be sure to choose a miner!

Chorus:
They say? They say! Those who know - say.
They say? They say! And not in vain speak.

1949.
