The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Слава героям" by Александр Галич.
Lyrics
Но лошадь, как известно, не овца!
И лошадь на парады выезжала,
И маршалу про жабу ни словца.
А маршал, бедный, мучился от рака,
И тоже на парады выезжал,
Он мучился от рака, но, однако,
Он лошади об этом не сказал.
Нам этот факт Великая Эпоха
Воспеть велела в песнях и стихах,
Хоть лошадь та давным-давно издохла,
А маршала сгноили в Соловках.
Lyrics translation
But a horse, as you know, is not a sheep!
And the horse went on parades,
And not a word to the Marshal about the toad.
And the Marshal, poor man, was suffering from cancer,
And also went to parades,
He was suffering from cancer, but,
He didn't tell the horse about it.
This fact is a Great Epoch for us
She told me to sing in songs and poems,
Though the horse died long ago,
And the Marshal was rotted in Solovki.
