Текст песни Алексей Яцковский - Офицерский Романс

Something heart hurts, do not calm this pain
We did not wait for prayers, did not seek rewards
* What is our fault and what I did not understand
Again memory brings me back * (repeat)

There on every post epaulettes glittered
The hegemon tried on a pea jacket removed from the corpse
* And the noble blood turned redder
The reddest of their couch patches * (repeat)

I remember their faces then at the station
Where the queen screamed in a useless prayer
* Shoot me if you need blood
I only pray to God - spare the children * (repeat)

Dead gleamed bayonet picket fences
Until the end of my days I can’t forget
* How they lay with surprise in their eyes
And I drew a sword on the other side * (repeat)

Sabers in everyday battles
I loved my fatherland more than my life
* After all, we defended faith and honor as best we could
In Russia, do not count officer graves * (repeat)

I was not afraid then God is not a damn thing
My squadron rushed like a tornado over the Don
* How many fights were there, I already lost count
How many old friends did I lose in battle * (repeat)

My last shelter restaurant Montparnasse
Where the doorman stands the old count at the door
* From Russia, only ashes remained.
After all, smolyanki now goes to the panel * (repeat)

I have not long left clawed paw
She brought her death and my time is coming
* Let me bury my head to the West
But from the grave I will look to the East * (repeat)
