Текст песни Крючков - Отступали войска по степи

Retreating troops in the wilderness,
Yes frightened horse neighing,
People could no longer fight,
And around blazing fires.

Don was long gone,
Ahead - unknown foreign country.
And in Russia - can not see any DIG,
Just tired, sweaty back ...

These troubled years of fighting,
Reckless, bloody and terrible ...
& Quot; There once was all mine,
Lord, wait a minute! & Quot;

Raved so young captain,
Something clenched hand whitened.
Ten days he suffered from wounds
Ten days carried the death for him.

& Quot; Lord! Soon the sea - and there
You will leave Russian waters ...
I'll give you a symbol of Russia -
Save it for all these years ... & quot;

Lips twitched, eyes went blank,
I remember his eyes today.
Of hands that clutched him alive,
Fell burnt sage bush ...

Years have flown by like a dream,
Blood in the veins of old age too freezes ...
I keep for myself and for you
This burnt sage bush ...
