SlyadNEV - Санитарка
текст песни

The autumn rain is drizzling again
And I'm quietly sinking knee-deep in mud
And I'm dragging from the frozen swamp
More boys wounded by the fascists
The ragged breathing is audible
Through the whistling in my ears and the roar of gunfire
Just be patient, my dear, a little longer
I whisper, faltering as if in a delirium

And I'm just a nurse
It's not easy for me in my greatcoat
But I know!!! I need to emerge from the battle alive.
And behind me lies my invisible cross.
Not for awards, not for a parade.
So that someone there, beyond the smoke, dear to someone,
Knows that they are expected back.

The tent smells of iodine, blood, and sweat.
And groans, like a rustling in the silence.
I wash my hands in a cold basin.
To wash someone else's pain from my palms.
I write from dictation: "Mom, I'm fine."
And my lips are scarlet—I bite them until they bleed.
And I stroke his hair, so briefly.
For him, on this damned border.

And I'm just a nurse.
It's not easy for me in my greatcoat.
But I know!!!
I must emerge from the battle alive.
And behind me lies my invisible cross.
Not for awards, not for a parade.
So that someone there, behind the smoke, dear to someone,
Knows that they are expected back.

Sometimes at night, during a short break,
I dream of home, the lilacs rustling under the windows.
And my mother wakes me up - "Daughter, get up already, it's light."
And I wake up - to the sound of bombs exploding!!!!

Yes, I'm just a nurse.
But the skeleton holds my heart tight.
I don't shoot, but the attack - begins again with my crawling.
And I will pull everyone out there.
From the marketplace of this damned war.

Not for awards, Not for a parade.
So that someone is waiting.
And knows we'll all be back soon.
