Текст песни Александр Устюгов - Генералам лет минувших

Generals of years past
1.
The hooves of horses were tapped
According to the fate of the fighting hussar.
On the wall of adventures a trophy -
Seven-stringed doze guitar.
At the temples dusting gray hair
Borodino battles of victory,
But in my heart still passion is golden
The ramshackle youths epaulettes.

Chorus:
Get back in action! My friends are cavalry guards!
Who didn’t live to the victorious parades,
Who valued officer honor
And for homeland he folded his head.
Get back on duty! friends of the cavalry guards!
Who served the Motherland not for rewards.
Substitute your strong shoulder,
Who is clothed with the valor of the guards ...

2.
I remember the snow bivouac
And the bravado of the heroes of the beardless;
Over the redoubts a flying banner;
There were no cowards in those battles.
Raising the shelves behind you
We went on the attack for the faith of Christ ...
Homeland Generals,
We were faithful to honor and word!

Chorus:
Get back in action! my friends are cavalry guards!
Who didn’t live to the victorious parades,
Who valued officer honor
And for homeland he folded his head.
Get back on duty! friends of the cavalry guards,
Who served the Motherland not for rewards.
Substitute your strong shoulder,
Who is clothed with the valor of the guards.
