Текст и перевод песни Любэ - Batka Mahno

Batka Mahno

Bat'ka Makhno smotrit v okno,
Na dvore temnym-temno.
Na postu stoit monakh,
Ele-ele na nogakh...
Spit monastyr', dremlet selo,
Moshki b'iutsia o steklo.
Zviozdy svetiat i luna,
A v okruge tishina...
Pripev:
Miortvye s kosami vdol' dorog stoiat -
Delo ruk krasnykh d'iavoliat!
Miortvye s kosami sbrosili tsaria,
Zanimalas' alaia,
Zanimalas' alaia,
Zanimalas' alaia, ehkh
Zaria, zaria, zaria,
Alaia zaria...
Videli ikh, istinnyj krest,
Vsia gubernia, ves' uezd.
Proskakali skvoz' tuman -
Chto ne vesel, ataman?
V pole guliaj, plamia, pylaj!
Revol'ver, davaj, streliaj!
Liubo, liubo, brattsy, zhit',
Ne prikhoditsia tuzhit'...
Pripev

Father Makhno

Father Makhno looks out the window,
It's dark, so dark outside.
A monk stands guard,
Barely on his feet...
The monastery sleeps, the village slumbers,
Moths beat against the glass.
The stars shine and the moon,
And there's silence all around...
Chorus:
The dead with scythes stand along the roads -
The work of the red devils!
The dead with scythes have overthrown the Tsar,
The crimson has risen,
The crimson has risen,
The crimson has risen, ehkh
Dawn, dawn, dawn,
The crimson dawn...
They were seen, by the true cross,
The whole province, the whole district.
They galloped through the fog -
Why so glum, ataman?
Walk in the field, flame, blaze!
Revolver, come on, shoot!
It's good, it's good, brothers, to live,
There's no need to grieve...
Chorus
