“And who does know”

This song was popular in WWII time. It is not about a war but this song recalled soldiers 
about their home.

This song is made in the style of traditional, old, Russian people songs; the voices of 
woman’s chorus are excellent. It is a real pleasure to listen it.

“And who does know”

(Translated by Andrey)

A guy goes in the sunset 
Nearly my home.
He usually blinks eyes for me
But doesn’t speak anything.
And who does know
Why does he blink?

When I shall come in the dance club -
He dances and sings,
But when we speak goodbye nearly my gate
He turns away and sighs.
And who does know
Why does he sigh?

I asked, “Why are you joyless?
Don’t you like your life?”
“I lost,” he answers,
“My poor heart.”
And who does know
Why does he lose?

And he sent me two enigmatical letters
With a post yesterday.
There are only dots in the every row
I understood it so that I have to guess myself what it means.
And who does know
What does he make hints about?

I didn’t become to guess
So do not hope and wait!
But the heart sweetly melted 
Inside my breast for some reason.
And who does know
Why does he blink?
Why does it melt?

The Russian version (translit):

"I kto ego znaet"

Na zakate khodit paren'
Vozle doma moego.
Pomorgaet mne glazami
I ne skazhet nichego.
I kto ego znaet,
Zachem on morgaet?

Kak pridu ia na gulian'e -
On tantsuet i poet,
A prostimsia u kalitki -
Otverniotsia i vzdokhniot.
I kto ego znaet,
Chego on vzdykhaet?

Ia sprosila: "Chto ne vesel?
Il' ne raduet zhit'io?"
"Poterial ia, - otvechaet, -
Serdtse bednoe svoio".
I kto ego znaet,
Zachem on teriaet?

A vchera prislal po pochte
Dva zagadochnykh pis'ma:
V kazhdoi strochke - tol'ko tochki,
Dogadaisia, mol, sama.
I kto ego znaet,
Na chto namekaet?

Ia razgadyvat' ne stala -
Ne nadeisia i ne zhdi.
Tol'ko serdtse pochemu-to
Sladko taialo v grudi.
I kto ego znaet,
Chego on morgaet,
Chego ono taet?
