The Battalion Commander
But in war, so it is in war,
There is ammo, vodka, and roll-ups for a price.
And in a war, it's difficult work, and as for you...
You shoot, or else they will kill you.
And in war, like in this war...
My girl, remember me.
And in war - it's a dark hour,
Maybe we'll get them, or perhaps they'll get us.
Battalion commander, combat commander,
You didn’t mind shielding yourself behind the boys.
The jets soar, and the tanks are ablaze,
GOOD SHOOTING - HOT DAMN!, BATTALION COMMANDER - OORAH!, BATTALION COMMANDER!
The battalion commander, the battery commander,
Behind us is Russia, Moscow and Arbat.
BATTERY - OPEN FIRE!, BATTALION - OPEN FIRE!,
BATTERY COMMANDER - HELL YEAH!, he is in charge....
BATTERY - OPEN FIRE!, BATTALION - OPEN FIRE!,
BATTERY - OPEN FIRE!, BATTALION - OPEN FIRE!
BATTERY - OPEN FIRE!, BATTALION - OPEN FIRE!,
BATTERY - OPEN FIRE!, BATTALION - OPEN FIRE!
SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT! This scourge...
And in war, like in this war -
Soldiers see their mamas in their dreams.
And in the war... yeah, that's it...
Everything is more horrible than in those movies.
Yeah, war... war is war
Like a nasty aunt, she's a ball-buster!
Ah, war... war goes on,
And so a girl is waiting for a boy.
Battalion commander, combat commander,
You didn’t mind shielding yourself behind the boys.
The jets soar, and the tanks are ablaze,
GOOD SHOOTING - HOT DAMN!, BATTALION COMMANDER - OORAH!, BATTALION COMMANDER!
The battalion commander, the battery commander,
Behind us is Russia, Moscow and Arbat.
BATTERY - OPEN FIRE!, BATTALION - OPEN FIRE!,
BATTERY COMMANDER - HELL YEAH!, he is in charge.

About translator
* fixin's is a colloquial expression that refers to the shag tobacco and papers used to roll handmade cigarettes. Roll-ups are hand rolled cigarettes (not finely made).
*Shielding yourself in the Russian lyrics actually means hiding your heart.
I toned down the language just a bit because vulgarity is not tolerated toward command in military units of other countries. It is grounds for field punishment.
