Текст песни Евгений Лукин - Давняя

What did you, prince, say when the sun was dim?
You said it's better to die than to be full.
And we stand, surrounded by a small river,
And filthy go on four sides.

They blow the arrows of the wind, thirst soldered
Shields are closely shifted, the quiver is opened.
We should leave her from here, from the coast of Kayala, -
Crossed all the way Polovtsy Konchak.

What did you, prince, say at the hour when the eclipse
Fell on your shelves with a black wing?
You said that only madness believes in the banners
And he said that death is better than full.

So grief, burn, trust, under the last battle!
Beat while the blade in your hand and in the eyes is light! ..
All the friends died near the fast river,
Well, the prince went full - from saddle to saddle.

What did you, prince, say fiercely and proudly?
Say, Don scoop up in golden shell ...
And lie on the beach with an arrow in the throat
Because it's better to die than to be full.

As we forgot one, the simplest:
What you bring, Prince, matchmaker Konchak! ..
The matchmaker will not offend the matchmaker and the escape will be
And someone will write “A word about the regiment”.
