Lyrics
Вот пуля просвистела, в грудь попала мне —
Спасся я в степи на лихом коне.
Но шашкою меня комиссар достал —
Покачнулся я и с коня упал.
припев: Эй, ой да конь мой вороной!
Эй, да обрез стальной!
Эй, да густой туман!
Эй, ой да батька атаман, да батька атаман!
На одной ноге я пришел с войны,
Привязал коня, сел я у жены.
Но часу не прошло — комиссар пришел,
Отвязал коня и жену увел.
Спаса со стены под рубаху снял,
Хату подпалил, да обрез достал.
При Советах жить — торговать свой крест!
Много нас таких уходило в лес.
Lyrics translation
A bullet whizzed through my chest and hit me —
I was saved in the steppe on a dashing horse.
But the Commissar got me with a saber —
I staggered and fell from my horse.
chorus: Hey, Oh, my black horse!
Hey, the sawn-off shotgun is steel!
Hey, thick fog!
Hey, Oh, Yes, father ataman, Yes, father ataman!
I came from the war on one leg,
I tied my horse and sat down by my wife.
But before an hour had passed, the Commissar came,
He untied his horse and took his wife away.
Spas from the wall under his shirt removed,
I set fire to the hut, but I got a sawn-off shotgun.
With Advice to live-trade your cross!
Many of us went into the woods like this.
