Русский текст песни здесь: Below you can find an English translation of the song (made by me in about 20 minutes, so it’s not a professional translation): ***************** We’ve all went through the draft, and had our heads shaved bald. And each remember mother’s glance, And smell of his home. But it’s been so long, And on a sun burned road, Upwards, stubbornly upwards, Now crawls, stubbornly crawls our column. You won’t ever see Shots going through car windows, How people burn alive in APCs. And how into gas pools, Next to shot through tires, Guys, falling down, stay quiet forever. See, the bullet holes, in my armored vest? How many boys are lying here, How many young years? Mama, mom forgive me, I did not save myself. Bulllet flying into me, I did not notice. The engine roars, The road’s upwards, There’s smoke above the pass, And on the roadside burned out KAMAZ trucks. Here every third stays forever young, When trigger’s pulled with aim under the helmet. And window splatter once again, And again someone’s pain!!! And once again red road markings... In ambush spots we see the blood Of those like you and me, Even with this they help us a little. See, the bullet holes, in my armored vest? How many boys are lying here, How many young years? Who at night thought about, How pretty his girl stands, For whom the last day Became Afghanistan. The road always awaits you, The road calls you ahead... At home mom gets grey hair in two years... You’re needed here, you’re needed there, Even if your soul hurts, for your beloved home, For all your beloved people. We bring life on wheels, And people believe in us And life for each is only one, There won’t be another. And as an obelisk stands a burned out KAMAZ, It stands as memory for those who gave their lives for others. See, the bullet holes, in my armored vest? How many boys are lying here, How many young years? Mama, mom, forgive me, I did not save myself. Bulllet flying into me, I did not notice.
