Клавдия Шульженко - Мы из Одессы, моряки
текст песни

An Odessa street, old chestnut trees
Black Sea autumn, storms and fogs
Under menacing lights in the bitter hour of night
We left the city, our native city
The trees sadly saw us off
Where are you from? - they whispered in the darkness
And we answered with longing in our hearts
We are sailors from Odessa
Since then, we have been in battle many times
We drove the captured Germans out of villages
Women came to meet us at midnight
Our blood brothers embraced us
Old women greeted us like sons
Where are you from? - they repeated excitedly.
We walked forward and quietly answered.
We are sailors from Odessa.
For dear Odessa, for our beloved home.
For our friends and comrades, we go into battle.
So what if the night is dark, and there's no light all around.
It's not for nothing that our enemies call us devils.
Where are you from? - they shout. - We don't know.
What is your strength, we don't understand.
And we answer them with steel in battle.
We are sailors from Odessa.
I don't know: in autumn or foggy winter.
We will return to our city, to our desired city.
But I know, my city, my dear old home.
That time is approaching, we will come to you.
And the cheerful sound of the surf will greet us.
We will knock on our native window.
Where are you from? - We are straight from the battlefield.
Sailors have come to Odessa!
