BLUE SHAWL

Music: E.Peterburgskij,
Words: M.Maksimov

I remember how in memorable evening

You blue shawl fall (down) off shoulders,
how I see off and promised
to guard blue shawl.
And let there no my darling, native
with me today.
I know you hide (dear) shawl
to head of the bed.

When I receive you letters,

I hear your live voice.
And between strings blue shawl again
stands in front of me.
And often your image sees off me to battle.
I feel: next to loving sight
you are with me constantly.

How may cherished shawls

we carry in greatcoat with us,
tender speeches, girls' shoulders,
we remember in the heat of battle.
For them, native,
desirable, such beloved,
machine-gunner "stitches" (fires) for blue shale,
that was on dear shoulders!
