Николай Волков - Госпиталь
текст песни

I remember that pain hospital
With its crowded tents
Under a camouflage net of protruding poles
And people groaning in pain

I remember the scalpel, the screws, and the doctors
The slight chill of moonless nights
The fading flame, a tobacco spark
And the care of one nurse

Sister, sister, little sister, little sister
Darling, give me a drink of water quickly
I whisper in delirium with parched lips
And the flame of thirst blazes in my throat

Sister, sister, little sister, little sister
Suddenly a light in the darkness from a lit match
I will never forget the touch of those hands
And the rapture of quenched thirst
And the rapture of quenched thirst...

I was wounded in an unequal battle
From a letter from friends I learn
That so many died then, I cry
Realizing too late: "I'm too late"

And I'm left in their debt
And I can't help them in any way
And in my dreams I see faces and battle
The gunfire deafening my ears

Sister, sister, little sister, little sister
Darling, give me a drink of water quickly
I whisper in delirium with parched lips
And the flame of thirst blazes in my throat

Sister, sister, little sister, little sister
Suddenly a light in the darkness from a lit match
I will never forget the touch of those hands
And the rapture of quenched thirst
And the thirst quenched...

Thanks to that nurse
For her concern, apparently, not in vain
And with the light hand of the doctors
My chart reads "healthy"

I remember that hospital, the hospital
From the tents, crowded together
Under the mask-net of protruding poles
And People moaning in pain

Sister, sister, little sister, little sister
Darling, give me a drink of water quickly
I whisper in delirium with parched lips
And the flame of thirst blazes in my throat

Sister, sister, little sister, little sister
Suddenly a light in the darkness from a lit match
I will never forget the touch of those hands
And the rapture of quenched thirst
And the rapture of quenched thirst...
