Katyusha

SOVIET WARTIME SONG
Lyrics: Mikhail Isakovsky
Music: Matvei Blanter
Translation: Igor Koplevsky
Interpreted by Amélie
Music Performance by Torsten Stanke

"Apple and pear trees were a-blooming,
Mist (was) creeping on the river.
Katyusha 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 the bright sun.
And reach for the soldier on the far-away border
Along with greetings from Katyusha.
Let him remember an ordinary girl,
And hear how she sings,
Let him preserve the Motherland,
Same as Katyusha preserves their love"
