Dark Is The Night

Dark is the night, only bullets are whistling around With the wind singing songs in the wires and the stars softly gleaming You are awake though the night has long covered the grounds As you’re rocking the cradle, I know you are quietly weeping Oh, how l want to see that tender look in your eyes Oh how I want just one moment to kiss them gently! We’re miles apart. And although stars are lit in the sky Yet the dark steppe between us tonight feels so troubled and empty I do believe you’ll remain ever faithful and true It’s this faith that gave courage to me in the fiercest of battles And I’m at peace ‘cause I know I’m returning to you And whatever befalls me, for sure, I’ll return in fine fettle I fear no death. It’s been taking its toll all around And even now it is raging and will not settle You are awake though the night has long covered the grounds As you’re rocking the cradle I know I’ll return in fine fettle Перевёл Борис Анисимов.
