(transliteration)
Nyeh bivat’ tibyeh v zhivikh
So snyehgu nyeh vstat
So snyehgu nyeh vstat
Dvatsit vosyem shtikovich
Ognyestryelnikh pyat
Gorkuyu obnovushku
Drugu shila ya
Lyubit lyubit krovushku
Drugu shila ya
Lyubit lyubit krovushku
Ruskaya zimlya
Twenty Eight Bayonets
translation to English
You are not destined to stay among the living,
You will not rise from the snow…
Twenty-eight wounds inflicted by bayonets,
Five gun-shot wounds.
A bitter new shroud
For my beloved I sewed.
Oh, how Russian earth,
loves, loves blood.
You will not rise from the snow…
Twenty-eight wounds inflicted by bayonets,
Five gun-shot wounds.
A bitter new shroud
For my beloved I sewed.
Oh, how Russian earth,
loves, loves blood.
– Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) Russian
