A very patriotic Russian soldiers' song, recalling a love left at home, whom the soldier fights to protect.
Katyusha
translation from the Russian by Zarmvenius
Apple and pear trees bloom
Fog floats on the river
Katyusha went out onto the bank
Onto the high, commanding shore
Leaving, she started to sing a song
About a blue eagle of the steppes,
About him, whom she loved,
About him, whose letter she carried.
O, you song, song of a girl -
Fly, following the bright sun
And to the soldier on the far borders,
From Katyusha give regards.
Let him recall the simple girl;
Let him hear how she sings;
Let him protect his motherland,
But their love, Katyusha will keep.
Apple and pear trees bloom
Fog floats on the river
Katyusha went out onto the bank
Onto the high, commanding shore
