by R. Rozhdestvensky

Byla sud'ba
Language: Russian (Русский) 
A my ne stanem pamjati perechit'
I vspomnim dni dalekije, kogda
Upala nam na slaben'kije plechi
Ogromnaja, nedetskaja beda.
Pripev:
 Byla zima i zhestkoj i metel'noj,
 Byla sud'ba u vsekh ljudej odna.
 U nas i detstva ne bylo otdel'no,
 A byli vmeste detstvo i vojna.

I nas bol'shaja Rodina khranila,
I nam Otchizna mater'ju byla.
Ona detej ot smerti zaslonila,
Svoikh detej dlja zhizni sberegla.
(Pripev)

Goda projdut, no `eti dni i nochi
Pridut v serdca ne raz tebe i mne.
I pust' my byli malen'kimi ochen',
My tozhe pobedili v toj vojne.
(Pripev:)
