Олег Бодров - АФГАН
текст песни

I was drafted for my service
And climbed aboard a tank
The Panjshir Gorge
The password: "Afghan"
Sixteen combat tours
The *Dukhi* came at us
Where boys died
Such terrible deaths
I’m writing a letter to Mom
But I won’t tell her
Where I’m serving
Near Kabul
Somewhere in the mountains
"Andryukha—"
"Tell Mom this:"
"Sell my motorbike"
I shake your hand firmly
My brother
Afghanistan remembers
The mountains fired back
The Panjshir Gorge
My tank rolled on
The lead reconnaissance outposts
Engaged the *Dushman* there
Afghanistan was ablaze
Shrapnel flew like the wind
And tore into me that day
Let them remember the boys
The soldiers
We will never forget Afghanistan
Once again, our convoy
Disappears into the night
We are *Shuravi*
Not everyone will understand the word
"Take care of Dad, Mom"
"I’ll be back soon"
"It’s so stifling here"
"That all I drink is water"
We silenced a DShK machine-gun nest
And I took five *Dushman* with me
I’ve been awarded
The Order of the Red Star
It’s flying home now
Oh, how I regret
That we won’t meet again
Afghanistan remembers
The mountains fired back
The Panjshir Gorge
My tank rolled on
The lead reconnaissance outposts
Engaged the *Dushman* there
Afghanistan was ablaze
Shrapnel flew like the wind
And tore into me that day
Let them remember the boys
The soldiers
We will never forget Afghanistan
Afghanistan remembers
The mountains fired back
The Panjshir Gorge
My tank rolled on
The lead reconnaissance outposts
Engaged the *Dushman* there
Afghanistan was ablaze
Shrapnel flew like the wind
And tore into me that day
Let them remember The Lads
The Soldiers
We Will Not Forget Afghanistan
