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:
“Where dwells the religion? Tell me first where dwells electricity, or motion, or thought or gesture. They do not dwell or stay at all. Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
—Amy Stewart (b. 1975)
