Farewell of Slavianka

The moment of parting is nigh
You look into my eyes with alarm.
I sense your dear breath,
And far away the storm is already gathering.
A tremor ran through the blue, misty air,
Alarm touched my temples,
And Russia calls us to a feat,
A breath is wafting from the marching regiments.

Farewell, the land of the fathers,
Remember us.
Farewell, dear glance,
Forgive-farewell, Forgive-farewell...

Years fly by
Trains disappear in the dark.
In them—the soldiers.
And in the dark sky
The soldier's star is shining.

Forests, the steppe, junctions stand in the steppe
The light of the twilight, evening, morning—So,
don't forget the Slavic woman's farewell,
Repeat it to yourself in your soul!
No, the soul will not be indifferent—
The lights of justice shine...
For love, for the great fraternity
We have sacrificed our lives.

Farewell, the land of the fathers,
Remember us.
Farewell, dear glance,
Forgive-farewell, Forgive-farewell...

Years fly by,
A the song—you are always with us.
We remember you,
And in the dark sky
The soldier's star is shining.

Прощание славянки

Наступает минута прощания,
Ты глядишь мне тревожно в глаза.
И ловлю я родное дыхание,
А вдали уже дышит гроза.
Дрогнул воздух туманный и синий
И тревога коснулась висков,
И зовет нас на подвиг Россия,
Веет ветром от шага полков.

Прощай, отчий край,
Ты нас вспоминай.
Прощай, милый взгляд,
Прости-прощай, прости-прощай.

Летят, летят года,
Уходят во мглу поезда.
А в них солдаты,
И в небе темном
Горит солдатская звезда.

Летят, летят года,
А песня, ты с нами всегда.
Тебя мы помним,
И в небе темном
Горит солдатская звезда.
