“In the Memory of North-Western Army“ — English subs and translation
Russian White Emigration, circa 1922
Donate & Support:
A poem by the White Guard poet A. Vasil’jev is dedicated to the unsuccessful campaign of the North-Western Army in Petrograd. Having missed the chance to occupy the capital, the White troops were forced to retreat to Estonia and lost their last hopes for a break in the course of the Civil War. In this song, the personal tragedy is added to the all-Russian tragedy, where a White officer, entering the suburbs of Petrograd, sees his own childhood home, occupied by the Reds and used as a firing point. In this video, the poem is set to music and performed by the “MDP“ band.
Portrayed by an officer of the North-Western Army (Captain of the 1st Russian Officers’ Partisan Detachment).
LYRICS (Original ones, slightly different from the video):
Снѣгъ висѣлъ, какъ призрачная сѣтка
На границѣ ночи и утра.
Подходила бѣлая развѣдка
Къ дальнимъ стогнамъ Города Петра.
И на Забалканскомъ утромъ синимъ
Командиръ, поручикъ молодой,
За большую бѣлую Россію
По своей шёлъ улицѣ домой.
Вотъ и онъ, и колыхнулось сердце,
На карнизъ горбомъ метель легла,
И смотрѣлъ на окна бывшей дѣтской
Бывшій гимназистъ изъ-за угла.
Вотъ ещё чуть-чуть - шандалъ зажжётся,
И рояль, и мама запоётъ.
Лишь плакатъ пятномъ кровавымъ льётся,
Да глядитъ заставы пулеметъ.
Снѣгъ сухой на крышахъ и вершинахъ,
Спи подъ вьюгой, яблоневый садъ.
Онъ калитку видѣлъ въ ста аршинахъ,
И теперь въ Эстонію назадъ.
Отходили, вновь отбивъ атаки,
Скрёбъ копытомъ раненый гнѣдой.
И свѣтилъ невзятый Исаакій
Виѳлеемской тёплою звѣздой.
Надъ тифозной ямой, надъ извёсткой,
Гдѣ печально ангелы поютъ,
Будетъ снѣгъ летѣть, сухой и жёсткій,
Какъ послѣдній воинскій салютъ...
