Тёмная ночь [Tyomnaya noch'] [English translation]

So dark night, only bullets do buzz over head,

Only wind whizzes weary wires, and the stars glimmer dimly

So dark night, but my darling won’t go to bed

Rocking cradle with baby tonight sudden tear you wipe grimly.

How I do love silent depth of your innocent eyes

Oh, how I wish to touch them with my lips this moment

So dark night separates us beloved my wife,

And the barren dark no-man's land makes me insolvent.

I trust in you, my unfailing magnificent light,

And this trust kept me safe in dark night bullets shot at me hampered

I’m full of joy and so calm in ignivomous fight

For I know you will meet me with love just whatever would happen.

No fear of death, we’ve met it many times in the field

Even just now it continues new victims trapping

You wait for me rocking cradle you are not asleep

And therefore I am really sure nothing bad ever happen!
