Na Pole Tanki Grohotali (English Translation) lyrics

Tank engines roared like distant thunder
The soldiers charged and some fell dead
The medics carried young commander
And blood was pouring from his head
The medics carried young commander
And blood was pouring from his head

Our tank was hit with armor piercer
So say goodbye to fellow crew
Just four more corpses in the hillside
Will add to fair morning view
Just four more corpses in the hillside
Will add to fair morning view

'Cause now the vehicle is burning
The shells are gonna detonate
We push the hatch to see this morning
But we're too weak and it's too late
We push the hatch to see this morning
But we're too weak and it's too late

They'll dig our bodies from the wreckage
And put our coffins in the clay
While blasts of fire from the cannons
Will see us on our final way
While blasts of fire from the cannons
Will see us on our final way

[INSTRUMENTAL]


And then the letters will go flying
To tell our friends and families
That their good son is never coming
And never getting any leave
That their good son is never coming
And never getting any leave

The mother's wailing in the corner
The father swats a creeping tear
Young bride will never know for certain
What fate befell her tanker dear
Young bride will never know for certain
What fate befell her tanker dear

And then - just photo on the bookshelf
Collecting dust for years on end
In uniform, with epaulets on...
And he will never be her man
In uniform, with epaulets on...
And he will never be her man
