Текст песни Федор Литвин - Он выбрал крест

He chose the cross, the betrayal he felt much worse than death
It is better to die than betray the faith of the Orthodox.
Said then the warrior Eugene:
"Cross snimesh you only with my head"
He chose the cross, not afraid of death.
It is faith in God not delivered.
Then said the enemy commander.
"Attempting to his hunger and starve."
At that time he thought that the Russian soldier will beg for mercy.
But weeks passed, days and months passed.
Once again, the enemy came to Eugene.
His reply was firm as a rock
"I will not betray the faith of the Orthodox."
And angry enemy, gave the order,
To cut off the head of a warrior.
And in the morning, at dawn, the warrior died
He chose the cross, not afraid of death.
Our Russian soldier Evgeny Rodionov.
