He's grown up during that war. And he got (a card of) the wrong suit Oh, a wrong one. And she got him in his motherland The foolish bullet
And he wrote to his mother: You so know about all, Mom. How many times you protected me... Good-bye, mom
and he has fallen in place of us there Was boy of twenty years Alas, the destiny has not happened this time He delayed, And the sniper did not
(There) was a boy - then (there) was no boy And he would have lived to a hundred And cap - off with And vodka - to the bottom When burying a cop. Rise, when burying a fighter!
