Original lyrics
Translation

Катюша

Расцветали яблони и груши
Поплыли туманы над рекой
Выходила на берег Катюша
На высокий берег на крутой
 
Выходила, песню заводила
Про степного сизого орла
Про того, которого любила
Про того, чьи письма берегла
 
Ой, ты, песня, песенка девичья
Ты лети за ясным солнцем вслед
И бойцу на дальнем пограничье
От Катюши передай привет
 
Пусть он вспомнит девушку простую
Пусть услышит, как она поёт
Пусть он землю бережёт родную
А любовь Катюша сбережёт
 
Расцветали яблони и груши
Поплыли туманы над рекой
Выходила на берег Катюша
На высокий берег на крутой

Katiusza

Apple and pear trees were a-blooming,
mist was creeping on the river,
Katiusza set out on the banks,
On the steep and lofty bank.
 
She was walking, singing a song,
about a grey steppe eagle.
About her true love,
whose letters she was keeping.
 
Oh you song! Little song of a maiden,
head for thr bright sun,
and reach for the soldier on the far away border,
Along with greeting from Katiiusza.
 
Let him remember and ordinary girl,
and hear how she sings,
let him preserve the motherland,
Same as Katiusza preserves their love.
 
Apple and pear trees were a-blooming,
mist was creeping down the river,
Katiusza set out on the banks,
On the steep and lofty bank.

This is from 1938. This song was a WW2 favorite, too. On 2010 it was on the news! Today, this song is popular all over the world.
