Текст песни 1986 год - В горах Афгани

IN THE MOUNTAINS OF AFGHANI
Oh, what a friend I lost in battle.
And not forty-two years ago, but yesterday.
Among the mountains and sands, where the heat burns everything around,
Burning my childish memory.

Do you hear, friend, my friend!
We ascended to that unbooked height
Under which you lay.

Oh, what a friend I lost in battle!
All our lives we have loved to read about the war.
He did not know in any way what would fall to me
Under fire, drag his body by the boulder on his back.
Far, thirty meters ...
But how far was that road
Between night and day.

Sand and stone.
The sad light of a strange moon overhead.
Level up on the banner!
Goodbye my brother! From now on you are with us forever!
I'm sorry you died, and I'm just injured.
In the Afghan mountains, in Afghanistan.

Oh, what a friend I lost in battle!
The damned dust clogged our eyes.
And the APC was on fire. In the sky, like a dragonfly, a helicopter.
And, like a voice from the past, a cry: "Forward!"
Like a nerve, a painfully taut nerve snapped.
And from the slope a bullet went to meet him in flight.

Sand and stone.
The sad light of a strange moon overhead.
Level up on the banner!
Goodbye my brother! From now on you are with us forever!
I'm sorry you died, and I'm just injured.
In the Afghan mountains, in Afghanistan.
