Текст песни М.Матусовский, В.Баснер - Махнём не глядя

The searchlight fumbles carefully over the hillock,
And this makes the night seem darker to us ...
For a month I did not take off my tunic,
For a month I have not unfastened my belts!
I have a shell case in stock,
In an embroidered pouch - fragrant samosad. -
The soldier does not need extra property,
We wave, without looking, as they say at the front ...

A soldier keeps a faded overcoat in his pocket
A letter from my mother and a handful of native land.
We did not regret anything to win
We didn’t even take care of our heart, as an "enze".
What to wish you before the fight today?
After all, we are not going into fire and smoke for awards.
Let's change fate with you.
We wave without looking, as they say at the front ...

We learned to walk without hunching under fire,
To part with random housing without grief.
That's why, our native guard corps,
One hundred grams "with a trailer" must be drunk for you.
As long as the clouds over the ground are still crowding,
There is no rest for us, and there is no turning back.
So what can I exchange with you at parting?
We wave without looking, as they say at the front ...
