Текст песни Владимир Нечаев - Как приехал казак

How come Cossack
Music: Kats Lyrics: L. Shemshelev

As a Cossack came home on leave from the border,
Where he faithfully served the motherland.
Not that the sergeant learned their native village,
Where he lived the life of the young.

I did not see any Cossack levady or hut,
From childhood memories of places I did not recognize.
Where was his home, where a giant excavator
An irrigation channel dug.

And his village moved to the right -
There are now living more beautiful.
And over it the wire about the collective farm glory
Of great sing construction.

Can not see enough Cossack border guards -
On the dam running train!
And solemnly shine of the club stanitsa
Gold, like happiness, the star!

Where he met with the beloved dawn dawns
Today smoothly as a swan swimming
In the spring wave at sea Tsimlyansky
From Moscow to the east boat.
