"Seriozhka from the Malaia Bronnaia Street"

It is a very sad post-war song. Famous Mark Bernes (the actor, who had sang the "Dark night" 
song in the movie "Two soldiers" in 1942) sang it.

"Seriozhka from Malaia Bronnaia Street"

(Translated by Andrey)

Two guys lie inside the damp ground 
In the fields behind the sleepy Vistula [1].
These guys are Seriozhka [2] from Malaia Bronnaia Street [3]
And Vit'ka [4] from Mokhovaia Street [5].

But the place is somewhere in the populous World
Where their mothers do not sleep 
In their empty flats
For many years the last years.

The inflamed light of a lamp
Is shining over Moscow
In an window on the Malaia Bronnaia Street
And in an window on the Mokhovaia Street.

They will never gather with their friends in nearby region,
Motion pictures are shown without them,
All the girls, who were their she-friends,
Are married long time ago.

But the saved World - 
the eternal World eternal, the alive World, - remembers
About Seriozhka from the Malaia Bronnaia Street
And Vit'ka from the Mokhovaia Street!

About Seriozhka from the Malaia Bronnaia Street
And Vit'ka from the Mokhovaia Street!


Remarks of Andrey:
[1] The Vistula is a large river in Poland.
[2] Seriozhka is the very familiar version of the name Sergey, 
[3],[5] The Malaia Bronnaija Street and the Mokhovaia Street are Moscow's streets
[4] Vit'ka is the very familiar version of the name Viktor,

"Seriozhka from Malaya Bronnaja Street"

(Translated by Andrey, corrected by AMVAS)

In fields behind the sleepy Vistula [1],
Two guys are lying in the damp ground. 
Seriozhka [2] from Malaya Bronnaja Street [3]
And Vit'ka [4] from Mokhovaja Street [5].

But somewhere in the populous World,
For many past years running,
Their mothers can't sleep
Alone in their empty flats

The inflamed lamp light,
Is shining over Moscow,
In the window on Malaya Bronnaja Street,
And in the window on Mokhovaja Street.

They can't stand up,
In neighborhood cinema
Movies are showing without them
All their girlfriends,
Long ago are married

But the saved World - 
The eternal, alive World,
Remembers Seriozhka from Malaya Bronnaja Street
And Vit'ka from Mokhovaja Street!

Seriozhka from Malaya Bronnaja Street
And Vit'ka from Mokhovaja Street!


Remarks of Andrey:
[1] The Vistula is a large river in Poland.
[2] Seriozhka is the very familiar version of the name Sergey,

The Russian version (translit)

"Seriozhka s Maloi Bronnoi"

V poliakh za Visloi sonnoi
Lezhat v zemle syroi
Seriozhka s Maloi Bronnoi
I Vit'ka s Mokhovoi.

A gde-to v liudnom mire,
Kotoryi god podriad,
Odni v pustoi kvartire
Ikh materi ne spiat.

Svet lampy vospalionnyi
Pylaet nad Moskvoi
V okne na Maloi Bronnoi,
V okne na Mokhovoi.

Druz'iam ne vstat' v okruge,
Bez nikh idet kino,
Devchonki, ikh podrugi,
Vse zamuzhem davno.

No pomnit mir spasionnyi,
Mir vechnyi, mir zhivoi,
Seriozhku s Maloi Bronnoi
I Vit'ku s Mokhovoi!

Seriozhku s Maloi Bronnoi
I Vit'ku s Mokhovoi!
