Текст песни Юрий и Константин Краснопёровы - Скажи, Председатель

Collective farm field, collective farm barn,
And in the collective farm club the button accordion plays:
"Tell me, chairman, who needs us?
It’s as if we live during the war. "

The collective farm field is overgrown with past
Grain sprouted in a collective farm barn,
And in the club one accordion player misses:
"Who, chairman, needs this life?"

Russia birch land and springs
Only the elderly will soon remain in the village.

Why ravaged the country's villages?
This was not known during the war!
"Come on, chairman, gather the people
And let's go with a good song -

Sow the wheat, fill the barn, "
We come to the accordion player, so that he would not be bored.
"Come on, chairman, live divine
Like a mother or son to love Russia. "

Russia birch land and springs
Only the elderly will soon remain in the village.
