Хук Справа - Туманят небо дымом пароходы
текст песни

Steamships cloud the sky with smoke
From their native land in ringing silence
Those who did not betray freedom are leaving
Who lost in the harshest war

The shoulder straps still glitter with gold
The captain is still as clean-shaven
Silent echelons flow south
To land on distant shores

Not to be taken alive! And though the eyes have faded
Russia is here. It cannot be surrendered
To Perekop, through storms and bad weather
Regiments march silently to die

Surrounded. Cut off. Broken
The mournful cry of abandoned horses
Tens of thousands will be forgotten
And will not find themselves among the blood of strangers

Fearless Kornilovites, Drozdovites
Whose Honor is Russia in a fiery chest
And let others run like sheep
After the red shepherd who lies ahead

Of the wrong steel, of a completely different mold
They vanished into obscurity then
You will not find a place for them outside of Russia
You will certainly never find them in your soul

Half a century later, when the pitiful grandchildren
Of those who raged with a star in Russia
Reached their hands abroad
Leaving the collapse of the country behind

They considered what had been a blessing
For others, shame and the end
Stepping proudly into dark graves
They carried the image of Russia before their faces

We remember and we bow low
Before the officer who did not surrender Rus' to the enemy
A scrap of blood – a suicide note
"Farewell, I can't live without Rus'."
