    Lyrics in English:
    Around us, it is calm; Hills are covered by mist,
    Suddenly, the moon shines through the clouds,
    Graves hold their calm.
    The white glow of the crosses - heroes are asleep.
    The shadows of the past circle around,
    Recalling the victims of battles.
    Dear mother is shedding tears,
    The young wife is weeping,
    All like one are crying,
    Cursing fate, cursing destiny!
    Around us, it's calm; The wind blew the fog away,
    Warriors are asleep on the hills of Manchuria
    And they cannot hear the Russian tears.
    Let sorghum's rustling lull you to sleep,
    Sleep in peace, heroes of the Russian land,
    Dear sons of the Fatherland.
    Dear mother is shedding tears,
    The young wife is weeping,
    All like one are crying,
    Cursing fate, cursing destiny!
    You fell for Russia, perished for Fatherland,
    Believe us, we shall avenge you
    And celebrate a bloody wake!
