Текст песни Ирина Лескова - Мне как-то снилось

Somehow I dreamed: horses and blankets,
Hand with a thorny ring on the shoulder
And the bitter face of the brown icon,
And the firm murmur of a thousand swords.
Then I don't remember. The herbs were getting tired
To mourn breaks, wolves howl,
And someone sang for the dead at a halt,
And the wounds were dry, and I was thirsty.
It was August. The stars were ripe
And fell into campfires
And it's not too late to save the homeland
It seemed to us. We waited for the time
We got up, and again, saving,
They went into the grass and ceased to be.
Foolish girl, barefoot
She ran screaming at us.
Do not kill -
So simple. Seems to learn now
My land is an ingenuous lesson ...
But no! The water rusts, the women howl.
And we get up when the time comes.
