На сопках Маньчжурии (1907)

Waltz from 1907, “On the Hills of Manchuria“ by Ilya Alekseevich Shatrov (). Played by me on iPad’s Button Accordion Pro (). Around us, it is calm; Hills are covered by mist, Suddenly, the moon shines through the clouds, Graves hold their calm. The white glow of the crosses — heroes are asleep. The shadows of the past circle around, Recalling the victims of battles. Dear mother is shedding tears, The young wife is weeping, All like one are crying, Cursing fate, cursing destiny!
