Песенка военного корреспондента

Ot Moskvy do Bresta
Net takogo mesta,
Gde by ne skitalis′ my v pyli.
S leykoy i s bloknotom,
A to i s pulemetom
Skvoz' ogon′ i stuzhu my proshli. (1)
Bez glotka, tovarishch,
Pesnyu ne zavarish',
Tak davay po malen'koy khlebnem.
Vyp′yem za pisavshikh,
Vyp′yem za snimavshikh,
Vyp'yem za shagavshikh pod ognem!
Vypit′ nam yest' povod — (2)
Za voyennyy provod,
Za U-2, za emku, za uspekh.
Kak peshkom shagali,
Kak plechom tolkali,
Kak my pospevali ran′she vsekh.
Ot vetrov i stuzhi
Pet' my stali khuzhe (3)
No my skazhem tem, kto upreknet:
S nashe pokochuyte,
S nashe ponochuyte,
S nashe povoyuyte khot′ by god!
Tam, gde my byvali,
Nam tankov ne davali —
No my ne teryalis' nikogda.
Na pikape dranom (4)
I s odnim naganom
Pervymi v"yezzhali v goroda.
Tak vyp'yem za pobedu,
Za nashu gazetu.
A ne dozhivem, moy dorogoy,
Kto-nibud′ uslyshit,
Snimet i napishet,
Kto-nibud′ pomyanet nas s toboy!

Song of the War Correspondent

From Moscow to Brest
There is no such place
Where we wouldn't wander through the dust.
With a pad and pencil
And sometimes with a machine gun
We went through fire and frost. (1)
Without a sip, comrade,
You can't brew a song,
So let's have a little drink.
Let's drink to those who wrote
Let's drink to those who filmed
Let's drink to those who marched under fire!
We have a reason to drink — (2)
To the war correspondents
To the U-2, to the Emka, to the Success.
How we marched on foot,
How we pushed with our shoulders,
How we arrived before everyone else.
From the winds and frost
We began to sing worse. (3)
But we'll say to those who reproach:
Join our wandering,
Spend a night with us,
Fight with us for at least a year!
Where we have been,
They didn't give us tanks —
But we never lost our way.
On a rickety pickup truck (4)
And with a single nagan
We entered the cities first.
So let's drink to victory,
To our newspaper.
And if we don't live to see it, my dear,
Someone will hear
Will film and write
Someone will remember you and me!
