Lyrics
Привязал коня, сел я у жены.
А в скорости за мной комиссар пришёл
Отвязал коня и жену увёл.
Э-эй, конь мой вороной,
Э-эй, да обрез стальной.
Э-эй, да густой туман.
Э-эй, ай да батька атаман!
Пуля, пролетев, в грудь попала мне,
Но укрылся я на лихом коне
Шашкою меня комиссар достал
Кровью исходя, на коня упал.
«Спаса на крови» под рубаху взял
Хату подпалил и обрез достал
При Советах жить — предавать свой крест
Сколько нас таких уходило в лес.
Меченый свинцом я пришёл с войны
Привязал коня, сел я у жены.
А в скорости за мной комиссар пришёл
Отвязал коня и жену увёл.
Lyrics translation
I tied my horse and sat down by my wife.
The Commissar came to get me at speed
He untied his horse and took his wife away.
Hey, my black horse,
Hey, it's a steel sawn-off shotgun.
Hey, there's a thick fog.
Hey, Ah Yes, the old man chieftain!
The bullet flew past and hit me in the chest,
But I took refuge on a dashing horse
The Commissar got me with a saber
He fell on the horse with blood.
"Spas on blood" under the shirt took
I singed the hut and took out a sawn off shotgun
With Advice to live-betray your cross
How many of us went into the woods.
Marked with lead I came from the war
I tied my horse and sat down by my wife.
The Commissar came to get me at speed
He untied his horse and took his wife away.
