Владимир Томшин - Сапёр
текст песни

Here is the insidious canned food
I can almost see her through the ground
Nerves wrapped around a fist
A sapper gets a hernia

I'm pleased with the scary find
I think the last one on the field
Death is terrible if you are in captivity
Or just choked on vodka

Here the probe rested on its body
Now we need to unscrew the fuse
How did the creator allow us to do this?
Minami strew the earth's globe

Kolya whispers to me from within
A sapper has a much longer life
Than those who drown in alcohol
And a little less than God

Oh why is my mother in front of my eyes?
You stand shedding your tears
I didn't open a tin can with a knife
I open it to the roots, whitish

Oh, losing friends is not just scary
Collecting the pieces of their souls
This life without mistakes is important to us
To live from where I started and to the end

That's all, as if neutralized
Someone's death from underground in the form of an explosion
It is not the fate of those who are shot to be hanged
And stepping onto the scaffold and falling off the cliff

I would live like that clearing mines
Becoming a top-level sapper
I never made a mistake
I just met a fool's bullet
