Translation
generals of civil war
Shoulder straps are not torned yet (deserters do it)
And rgts are not shooted (all soldiers are alive)
And fields are still green and not red (like blood)
Near river.
They are not old and not yung.
But theyr desteny is known.
They are not generals yet.
And war is not lost.
They have only small moment
For glory and victorys.
Sentimental beautys
Look at them with admiration.
And during triumphal parades
They get awards and ranks.
But these scenes are so fatal,
And these people so pale.
Bloody, drunken (about country)
Sing or cry,
My homeland,
What do u do with me?
The family albums are burning (people renounce from familys, history, memorys and live before revolution because dont want to have problems with new goverment)
In fireplaces on hot coals,
And walls of Ipatyevs house began to frighten
(in ipatyevs house was killed Nikolay II and his family).
Already Messiah came down from heaven,
And his intentions are pure.
Russia holds her cross (it means to be agree with desteny)
Considering fresh crosses (new dead people).
Yesterday refined dandies,
Today - Knights of War
They are not even immigrants,
They are still her sons.
But life went,
Without a trace
On the horizon, burning out
Their guiding star.
Bloody, drunken (about country)
Sing or cry,
My homeland,
What do u do with me?
Last shot in heart
Relentless farewell glance,
But memuares of belowed women
Will made them alive again for new generations
(after many yeas people will remember about them)
O my God. What coud we do
Without this all, all was for nothing.
Without thinking about
Red dawn on tower
(what will be in Russia without revolution)
Bloody, drunken (about country)
Sing or cry,
My homeland,
What do u do with me?

Too many marginal notes! The facts of the October Revolution and the Russian Civil War aren't need-to-know.)))
