Хотят ли русские войны? [Khotyat li russkie voyny?] [English translation]

Do Russian people want the war?

Just ask the silence of Sobibor

Above the wide fields, and the seas

And ask the poplars and birch trees.

You ask those soldiers who were deceased,

Who lie under these old birch trees,

And their sons will say: no more

Do Russian people want

Do Russian people want

Do Russian people want the war?

Not just for their own shore

The soldiers died in bloody war,

But, so the people of the Earth

Could sleep in peace without the wars.

Ask those soldiers, who won the fight,

Who on the Elbe embraced allies.

We keep this memory forevermore,

Do Russian people want

Do Russian people want

Do Russian people want the war?

Yes, vigilant we still remain,

But we don't want, that once again

The soldiers falling in the fight

On their bitter land and died.

You ask the mothers, it's your right,

You ask my own, dear wife,

Then, you won't doubt no more,

Do Russian people want

Do Russian people want

Do Russian people want the war?
