Непобедимая победа
An undefeatable Victory
За дверью cтонет и горит:
is moaning and burning behind the door:
Пустите, братцы, пообедать,
Brothers, let me in to have a dinner,
Давно не ела, все болит.
I had not eaten for so long, everything is painful.
Я так устала, так устала
I am so tired, I'm so tired
От нескончаемых боев,
of the never ending battles,
За пайку хлеба, ломтик сала
For the bread ration, a slice of bacon,
Я полюблю вас...
I will love you...
А мы пахали скромно. Ведал
But we've been plowing modestly, a Peace
Делами нашими покой.
Was a master of our deeds.
Нам ни к чему была Победа,
And we didn't need the Victory,
Ведь мы не бредили войной.
For we didn't rave of war.
Но ослепительно красива
But the juicy Victory
Победа знойная была -
Was of a dazzling beauty -
Не устояли, пригласили,
We could not stand, we invited her,
Но вслед за ней вползла Беда.
But after her a Trouble crawled.
Мы крови выпили три моря,
We drank three seas of blood
Мы все пожрали, что могли,
We devoured everything we could,
Победа пела на просторе
The Victory sang in the open
Лихие песенки свои.
The dashing songs of hers.
Победа вкусно побеждала,
The Victory was winning tasty,
Беда солила, как могла.
The Trouble was salting as she could.
Нас за Победу столько пало,
So many of us have fallen for the Victory
Нас за Победу сдохла тьма.
A heap of us has died for the Victory.
Но кончен бой, Победа, сонно
But the battle is over, the Victory, sleepy
Зевая, подалась домой.
Yawning, were going home.
А мы остались изумленно
And we stayed, with amazement
Победу праздновать
To celebrate the victory
С Бедой,
With the Trouble,
С Бедой,
With the Trouble,
С Бедой.
With the Trouble.
