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.
