Любовь во время войны [Lyubov vo vremya voyny] [English translation]

I don't remember how we crossed the threshold

But here's the heavy sky over the broken road

At the end of which, they lie, we are promised peace

A winter ensign was unfurled over us

Those who are against us have no faces; those who are with us have them

Don't dare to approach until you say who you are

On the streets rage howls like a motor

They covered with asphalt the forest, in which

We were shown that which cannot be said in words

I hear the work of shovels

The guns of sunset were aimed at us

But soon their ammunition will start to detonate right in the barrels

I feel that around us shadows are thickening

The river is burning and the bridges over it are separated

In his goodness

The Lord grants us what we wanted

Love, love, love

Love in wartime

And I extend my hand to a hand

But it's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline

Hand in hand into the abyss

I know that nonsense by heart

And I don't remember who I was

I don't know who I have become

But my blood

Is stronger now than steel

It won't go well for them when I wake up

I know with my mind that around me

There's neither ice nor blizzard

But I'm up to my neck in snow, my eyes can't see spring

Lord, tell me, who are we, that we so wanted

Love, love, love — but only in wartime
