"The Blue Kerchief"

(Translated by Andrey)

I remember how in that unforgettable evening
Your small kerchief was throwing from your shoulders
I remember how you were seeing off me
And how you were promising 
To preserve the small blue kerchief
And let you not together with me, 
My dear, my beloved girl
But I know that you are keeping
The blue kerchief 
With love near at your bed-side.

Getting you letters,
I hear you dear voice
And see in my mind
The blue kerchief
Between the lines of your letter.
And your image often sees off
Me in a combat.
And I feel that you are constantly
Near me
With a loving look.

How many fond kerchiefs
We are carrying in our hearts!
Tender words,
Girl's shoulders
Are in our memory during a battle.
It is for them, for dear,
For beloved, for so desired girls,
A machine gunner is firing,
For the blue kerchief
Which was on the dear shoulders! 

April of 1942

The Russian version (translit):

"Sinii platochek"

Pomniu, kak v pamiatnyi vecher
Padal platochek tvoi s plech,
Kak provozhala
I obeshchala
Sinii platochek sberech'.
I pust' so mnoi
Net segodnia liubimoi, rodnoi,
Znaiu, s liubov'iu,
Ty k izgolov'iu
Priachesh' platok goluboi.

Pis'ma tvoi poluchaia,
Slyshu ia golos rodnoi.
I mezhdu strochek
Sinii platochek
Snova vstaiot predo mnoi.
I chasto v boi
Provozhaet menia oblik tvoi,
Chuvstvuiu riadom,
S liubiashchim vzgliadom
Ty postoianno so mnoi.

Skol'ko zavetnykh platochkov
My sokhraniaem s soboi!
Nezhnye rechi,
Devich'i plechi
Pomnim v strade boevoi.
Za nikh, rodnykh,
Zhelannykh, liubimykh takikh,
Strochit pulemiotchik,
Za sinii platochek,
Chto byl na plechakh dorogikh!

Strochit pulemiotchik,
Za sinii platochek,
Chto byl na plechakh dorogikh!
