Lyrics хор Валаам - БЫЛО ДЕЛО ПОД ПОЛТАВОЙ

There was a case near Poltava

There was a case near Poltava,
It's a nice thing, friends!
We fought then with the Swede
Under the banners of Peter.

Our mighty emperor -
Eternal memory to him! -

Bogatyr was between us

On posture and mind.

Himself, my dear, before the regiments
Like a falcon, he flew,

The gun itself soldier rules,
I loaded the cannons myself.

The battle was boiling. The hero of Poltava,
Our sovereign giant,

I have repeatedly thundered
On the mighty enemy.

Bullets rushed with a cloud,
The blood poured hot.

Suddenly a villain bullet
In the royal hat dug ...

It can be seen that the Swedes missed -
The emperor was seated,

I took off my hat, crossed myself,
Back in the battle flew.

Many Swedes, many Russians
Before Poltava lay down ...

Suddenly the bullet
In his royal saddle.

The Emperor was not embarrassed,
Look like a lightning flashed,

The horse did not flinch from the blow,
But he rode faster.

But just the third bullet
She met with Peter,

Straight in the chest, she flew
And she hit like thunder.

The wondrous thing happened:
At this moment the king was sitting.

On the king's chest is high
The miraculous cross hung;

With a shriek, the bullet jumped
From the wide cross,

And the rescued winner
Glorified the Lord Christ.

There was a case near Poltava;
Hundreds of years will pass -

These royal three bullets
In the heart of Russian will not die!

There was a case in the Caucasus

There was a case in the Caucasus,
It's a nice thing, friends,
We fought there with Shamil
And with his murids.

Long we fought with enemies,
They followed their step by step;
They are in the mountains, they are doles,
We are behind them on the lynx.

Our Miracle-Commanders
Were an example to us:
Both to the battle and to the assault
We follow in their footsteps.

Where the place is more spacious,
Hurried hurriedly;
Only in the woods and mountains
It was harder to move.

A lot of wood was chopped,
His darkness was cut off;
Already got to work
Our sword, the ax.

There were fights, but what,
With a wild mountain crowd;
Will meet, but as a crusader,
Let's burn ... yes home.

We, too, are not more stupid
There were clever men of such -
They - shast, and here the hotel
I have been saving them for a long time.

We know that their checkers are sharp,
The guns aim well;
And we shoot like a bunch -
They hide like a crow.

Here they climbed into the rocks
On high on Gunib,
But even there he got it
Russian bullet, Russian bayonet.

Nothing could stand
Against God, against us.
Pal Gunib, and with him Shamil
The Caucasus has lost forever.

It was so under Plevna

It was so under Plevna,
It's a nice thing, friends!
We fought then everything with the Turk
Under the banner of the king.

In the battle all of us drove
Is our Skobelev dashing,
He himself, glorious, before the regiments
Like a falcon flying!

The gun itself soldier rules,
I loaded the cannons myself.
The battle was boiling, our hero is brave,
A fighter, a dashing fighter,

I was not afraid of the enemy's bullets,
Nor was he afraid of the bayonet.
And more than once around the hero
Bullets were flying in a cloud;

He always laughed at them,
True God kept it.
And redoubts behind redoubt
He took from the Turks a bayonet!

Once a villain bullet
I flew into a brave man,
The angel is his keeper
Savior of a mighty fighter.

It was the case with Arthur -
It's bad, friends ...
Togo, Feet, Kamimura
They did not give us life.

We with the neighbor yellow-faced
To her, they clung to her in vain ...
"I'll fly as a free bird
Yes for the blue seas »...

For a long time ready to boat,
We will go to a different land ...
"Well, sit down, my beauty,
Just next to me. "

They ordered us from the Brega
To retire at two o'clock ...
"Disappear my cart,
All four wheels "...

There stood the iron Varyag
And the "Korean" with him just ...
"Come out, O my dear friend,
Beat the hour "...

The Port Arthurians overlooked,
How did we find a thunderstorm ...
"We did not have time to look back,
As winter rolls in the eye. "

Sadly, languidly and timidly
The soldier's soldiers set out on their journey -
"Feet barefoot, dirty body
And barely covered chest ... "

Kuropatkin is proud
Directly in Tokyo, I was in a hurry
"Thu
