The heroes are riding across the field Hey, the heroes of the Red Army! Girls, look! Look at our road, The long winding road, Hey, the jaunty road! Girls, look! We are ready to meet the enemy, Our horses are fast, Hey, and our tanks are fast. Let on the collective farm Friendly work be in full swing, We are the watchmen today Hey, yes we are sentries today. Girls, look! Girls, wipe away your tears! Let the song burst stronger, Hey, yes, our battle song! Oh, the plains, Oh, the green plains! The heroes are riding across the field Hey, the heroes of the Red Army! RUSSIAN LYRICS: Полюшко, поле, Полюшко, широко поле, Едут по полю герои, Эх, да Красной Армии герои. Девушки, гляньте, Гляньте на дорогу нашу, Вьется дальняя дорога, Эх, да развеселая дорога. Девушки, гляньте, Мы врага принять готовы, Наши кони быстроноги, Эх, да наши танки быстроходны. Пусть же в колхозе Дружная кипит работа, Мы - дозорные сегодня, Эх, да мы сегодня часовые. Девушки, гляньте, Девушки, утрите слезы. Пусть сильнее грянет песня, Эх, да наша песня боевая! Полюшко, поле, Полюшко, зелено поле! Едут по полю герои, Эх, да Красной Армии герои. ___________________________ #RedArmyChoir #AlexandrovEnsemble #militarysongs #revolutionarysongs #russiansongs -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: ““Here’s the Postal Troika Rushing“ - Leonid Kharitonov (1987)“ -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
