English Lyrics
- The fire is flickering in the narrow stove
- Resin oozes from the log like a tear
- And the concertina in the bunker
- Sings to me of your smile and eyes.
- The bushes whispered to me about you
- In a snow-white field near Moscow
- I want you above all to hear
- How sad my living voice is.
- You are now very far away
- Expanses of snow lie between us
- It is so hard for me to come to you
- And here there are four steps to death.
- Sing concertina, in defiance of the snowstorm.
- Call out to that happiness which has lost its way.
- I'm warm in the cold bunker,
- Because of your inextinguishable love.
- (Stalingrad by Antony Beevor (c)1998.

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or lyrics:
“To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
—Amy Stewart (b. 1975)
