dikayasobakaThe poetic translation of a song by Alexander Scherbina of "Adrian & Alexander" (site in Russian).
Перевод на ангийский песни "Кавалерийский марш" группы "Адриан и Александр".
Dedicated to all those who perished in the Russian Civil War (1917-1923).
That vicious ride -
You sing your song, you charge ahead...
As for your bride
She wouldn't know you are dead.
A handmade cross
She gave you with her parting touch,
That tiny cross
It didn't help you very much.
Oh vanished dreams -
Guess you have said your final word,
All those streams
That you will never get to ford,
And at your farm
They do the harvest and the trade
But you are gone -
They know better than to wait.
The horses calling
Into the endlessness of night,
The fighters fallen -
Forever gone, forever right,
The endless squadrons,
The friend and foe ride into mist,
The fallen brothers,
Together on the Heaven's list.
