Текст песни Война и победа - Минуты затишья

So many days the war rumbles
And the soldiers were tired of the explosions.
There is no silence for so many days
Overcoats and jackets turned black.
So many days and crazy nights
You can't even hear your own voice.
Among the days of fire, hearing the roar of the batteries,
The soldiers are waiting for a moment of calm.

And when they come,
When everything suddenly becomes silent around,
Someone just sits, who smokes,
And who is asleep, and who is playing the accordion.

And a thin boy is playing
In damp sergeant's shoulder straps.
Remembers that light
That burned in the windows of the home.
Remembers that girl
That he once saw him off.
Apparently believes in a dream
And even in kindness,
Although it is not enough in the war.

And the accordion sings hysterically
And the melody swirls like a bird
It will slow down the flight
He will call home
Slightly softening these lines and faces.

How much patience and words do you need
For you guys to come back.
So that the lights do not go out in the houses,
The girls did not grow old with grief.
Eh, handsome sergeant, young,
So you, maybe, will not hear,
As above our land, long-awaited spring
Quiet minutes will reign.

There will be an echo of war until the end
A sad song to sound endless.
And on our lips, in restless hearts
That melody will live forever.
