Текст песни Дмитрий Хворостовский - Как служил солдат

As soldiers served
Service Ratna,
service difficult
Twenty years served
And another five years -
The general-in-chief
He gave a vacation.

How come the soldiers
In the dear house -
All of a chest in the crosses,
The very gray as the Harrier.
On the porch is
Young wife -
Twenty years
As if it was not.

No wrinkles No
On her cheeks,
No no Sedinko
In the girls' braids.
Looked soldiers
On his wife,
And the soldier said
Word bitter:

"We can see you, the wife,
Good living,
Good living,
I do not grow old! "
And in response to the porch
She says,
She says,
Herself crying all:

"Do not thy wife
I am the law,
I'm your daughter,
Daughter orphan.
And thy wife
The fifth year is
In the damp ground
Under the Birch. "

As he entered the hut,
He sat down at the table of soldiers,
wine Zielona
I ordered apply.
Drinks all night long soldiers,
On gray mustache
That is my only weapon the wine flows,
Whether slezanki.
