”Good bye, towns and peasants’ houses”

(Translated by Andrey)

Good bye, towns and peasants’ houses,
A long journey is waiting us.
We are young, brave fellows
And we are going in a campaign at the dawn.

Girls, come at the dawn,
To see off our komsomol [1] detachment.
Girls, do not be sad without us
We shall win and go back. 

We shall scatter enemy storm-clouds,
We shall disperse all the obstacles on our way,
And an enemy will not avoid a inevitable death,
He will not survive from finding himself in the grave.

There is a great hour of a requital,
Our people gave us a weapon.
Good bye, towns and peasants’ houses, -
We are going in a campaign at the dawn.

1941

The Russian version (translit):

"Do svidan'ia, goroda i khaty"

Do svidan'ia, goroda i khaty, 
Nas doroga dal'niaia zoviot. 
Molodye, smelye rebiata, 
Na zare ukhodim my v pokhod. 

Na zare, devchata, vykhodite 
Komsomol'skii provozhat' otriad. 
Vy bez nas, devchata, ne grustite, 
My pridem s pobedoiu nazad. 

My razveem vrazheskie tuchi, 
Razmetiom pregrady na puti, 
I vragu ot smerti neminuchei, 
Ot svoei mogily ne uiti. 

Nastupil velikii chas rasplaty, 
Nam vruchil oruzhie narod, 
Do svidan'ia, goroda i khaty, - 
Na zare ukhodim my v pokhod.
