LYRICS TRANSLATION:
Do Russians want another war?
Just ask the silence about it,
Above the width of the arable lands and fields,
And ask birches and poplars,
You ask those soldiers,
Which lie underneath the birches,
And their sons will answer you -
Do Russians want, do Russians want,
Do Russians want another war to happen.
Not only for their country
Soldiers died in that war,
But so that people of the whole earth
Could peacefully sleep at night.
Ask those who fought,
Who embraced you on the Elbe,
We are faithful to this memory.
Do Russians want, do Russians want,
Do Russians want another war to happen?
Yes, we know how to fight,
But we do not want
Our soldiers fell in battle again
On their sad ground.
Ask our mothers,
Ask my wife,
And then you should understand -
Do Russians want, do Russians want
Do Russians want another war to happen?
The docker and the fisherman will understand,
The worker and the farmer will understand,
And people of any country will understand
Do Russians want, do Russians want,
Do Russians want another war to happen?

LYRICS IN RUSSIAN:
Хотят ли русские войны?
Спросите вы у тишины,
Над ширью пашен и полей,
И у берез, и тополей,
Спросите вы у тех солдат,
Что под березами лежат,
И вам ответят их сыны
Хотят ли русские, хотят ли русские,
Хотят ли русские войны.
Не только за свою страну
Солдаты гибли в ту войну,
А чтобы люди всей земли
Спокойно ночью спать могли.
Спросите тех, кто воевал,
Кто вас на Эльбе обнимал,
Мы этой памяти верны.
Хотят ли русские, хотят ли русские
Хотят ли русские войны?
Да, мы умеем воевать,
Но не хотим, чтобы опять
Солдаты падали в бою
На землю грустную свою.
Спросите вы у матерей,
Спросите у жены моей,
И вы тогда понять должны
Хотят ли русские, хотят ли русские
Хотят ли русские войны.
Поймет и докер, и рыбак,
Поймет рабочий и батрак,
Поймет народ любой страны
Хотят ли русские, хотят ли русские
Хотят ли русские войны?
