Do the Russians Want a War? (Soviet Songs in English) - Хотят ли русские войны? (на англ. языке)
The Russians love their children too.
Music by Eduard Kolmanovsky
Lyrics by Eugeny Yevtushenko
Translated by Boris Anisimov
English Lyrics:
If we, the Russians, want a war,
Do ask the silent fields of gore.
If you must know, then - by all means -
Do ask the birches and the streams
And fallen soldiers whose remains
Still lie unburied on the plains.
That’s the reply you’re looking for,
If we, the Russians, want –
If we, the Russians, want –
If we, the Russians, want a war.
Not only for their native land
Our soldiers came to take a stand
They fought that over the world
The flag of peace would be unfurled
We had the living hell to face,
Us on the Elbe you embraced.
To keep those memories we swore.
So, do the Russians want –
So, do the Russians want –
So, do the Russians want a war?
The Russians do know how to fight
And to confront a fatal plight.
When rising from the thickest mud,
We know the bitter taste of blood.
Do ask our mothers who lost sons.
Ask and you’ll hear from everyone
That same reply you’re looking for,
If we, the Russians, want –
If we, the Russians, want –
If we, the Russians, want a war.
Russian Lyrics:
Хотят ли русские войны?
Спросите вы у тишины,
Над ширью пашен и полей,
И у берез, и тополей,
Спросите вы у тех солдат,
Что под березами лежат,
И вам ответят их сыны
Хотят ли русские, хотят ли русские,
Хотят ли русские войны.
Не только за свою страну
Солдаты гибли в ту войну,
А чтобы люди всей земли
Спокойно ночью спать могли.
Спросите тех, кто воевал,
Кто вас на Эльбе обнимал,
Мы этой памяти верны.
Хотят ли русские, хотят ли русские
Хотят ли русские войны?
Да, мы умеем воевать,
Но не хотим, чтобы опять
Солдаты падали в бою
На землю горькую свою.
Спросите вы у матерей,
Спросите у жены моей,
И вы тогда понять должны
Хотят ли русские, хотят ли русские
Хотят ли русские войны.
