Текст песни Валентина Толкунова - С днём рожденья, солдат

Music by Hmayak Morya
Author of poetry: Vladimir Firsov
 
Above the gravestone under the boom of the obelisk -
Just you look, and a lump in my throat -
Lower the arm, I put a note:
"Happy birthday to you, my son!"
 
Happy birthday, soldier! Worship people
Clouds and flowers, and grass.
Never date of death is not for you,
If the mother is still alive.
 
This mom came, turned gray early,
White scar of war on his temple.
And breathed cloves - unhealed wound -
At the piercing clean sheet.
 
Happy birthday, soldier! Worship people
Clouds and flowers, and grass.
Never date of death is not for you,
If the mother is still alive.
 
War are inscribed on the tragic plates
Names ... names ... names ...
You ever born, you shall never be forgotten,
If Motherland saved.
 
Happy birthday, soldier! Worship people
Clouds and flowers, and grass.
Never date of death is not for you,
If Motherland saved.
If the mother is still alive.
If Motherland saved.
If the mother is still alive.
 
Above the gravestone under the boom of the obelisk -
Just you look, and a lump in my throat -
Lower the arm, I put a note:
"Happy birthday to you, my son!"
 
Happy birthday to you, my son! ..
