Russian Road - Igor Rasteryaev COVER

Description:

ORIGINAL: A reworded English translation of Igor Rasteryaev's haunting song. I altered the lyrics from the direct English translation to make the song sound better. Pardon the mistakes and enjoy!\ Lyrics (These are not an actual translation from the original russian, but some phrases are the same/similar) Along the weeping Earth, lost feeling in my boots, Our bloodless detachment's escaping from those dirty crooks Just eating sorrel leaves and keeping up the hurried pace, And overnight in arrow-wood bushes is where we’ll stay Impossible to rest-- run away, run away, run away. And our pretending friends are staying nice and clean abroad. And watching closely just to see we’re beaten into dust And only the long roads are left to fight along for us. Wipe your tears rest a while, soldier! Ya ruskaya doroga! Retreat and I’ll cover you, no worries, with lots of mud and water. They're up to ears in mud, through water they will tread But some time later bogeys came and ran us down again. Attacking with might so large they may just wipe us out But biting frosts are rushing in to aid us in our rout! Rest and wipe your bitter tears O soldier! May russkeeya marozay! I will freeze our enemies to their bones. And entice them here to Moscow! The nature guards our moves, like an angel keeping watch. It once was time to hide, but now it's time to lead advance, And soon we’re in their cities smashing buildings to the ground. Leaving nothing but the ash and smoking rubble all around! Broke off to search the wastes, come trudging into ruins.¬ We then dictate our tactics through their shattered ranks and moans Remember what has brought you to your knees and beat you down When we retreat it means ATTACK! And now we’re homeward bound! Together with frosts and forests we’ve won! Now off to greet Susanin God gave us our Russian roads forever! Ya ruskaya doroga, ruskaya doroga ruskaya doroga
