Текст песни Юрий Щербаков - Когда мы покидали край родной

When we left the native land

    Dm Gm
As we were leaving a dear Region
   A Dm
And silently retreated to the east,
           Gm Dm
Don over the Pacific, under our maple
A Cm D7
Looming long your handkerchief.
           Gm Dm
Don over the Pacific, under our maple
A Dm
Looming long your handkerchief.

Pitted shells buzzed steppe
Standing over Stalingrad black smoke.
And for a long time have a formidable Volga
Don and I dreamed you over it.
And for a long time have a formidable Volga
Don and I dreamed you over it.

I did not hear your words, my favorite,
But know you'll wait for me in anguish.
Do not list the scarlet, and our wounds
Burned in the river sand.
Do not list the scarlet, and our wounds
Burned in the river sand.

       Em Am
So hello, turned gray, my love!
        H Em
Let spinning and falling snow
          Am Em
On the bank of the Don, on a branch of maple,
H Dm E7
In your tear-stained handkerchief.
          Am Em
On the bank of the Don, on a branch of maple,
H Em
In your tear-stained handkerchief.
