Attention! Says Moscow
Citizens of the Soviet Union
(Russian Red Army Choir "The Sacred War")
Today, on the 22nd of June
at 4 o'clock in the morning
without declaration of war
german troops attacked our country
attacked our borders in many places
and bombarded the city: Zhitomir, Kiev, Sevastopol, Kaunas and others ...
Dark night
only bullets whistle in the steppe
only the wind buzzes in the wires
dimly the stars flicker
in the dark night
my beloved, i know you don't sleep
and near the cot, secretly, you are wiping your tears
Sometimes it seems to me that the soldiers
who did not return from the bloody fields
did not down under our land
but turned into white cranes
they are still from those times
fly and talk to us
therefore so often with sadness
we silent and look to heaven
You always near
1945 (The Year of the End of the Great Patriotic War)
