Valery Petryaev - I’m leaving / Валерий Петряев - Я ухожу (Шумит Сосна)

This song was written during the Chinese war of aggression (Soviet-Chinese border war of 1969), when Soviet border guards were ambushed and killed by Chinese (PRC) invaders after high tensions in the area. This resulted in shelling and armed confrontations from both sides. The Chinese invasion was repelled with no territorial changes and nuclear war was averted, but not before hundreds lost their lives. This song and its variants were also used in subsequent conflicts such as the Soviet-Afghan war and the wars in the Caucasus.

Tut u nego blesnuli sljozy na glazah. «Ya uhozhu, — skazal mal'chishka ej skvoz' grust', — No nenadolgo. Ty zhdi menja, i ja vernus'.» Ushjol sovsem, ne vstretiv pervuju vesnu. Prishjol domoj v soldatskom cinkovom grobu. Rydaet mat', i slovno ten' stoit otec, Ved' on sovsem, on byl sovsem eshhjo junec. A skol'ko ih, ne sdelav v zhizni pervyj shag, Domoj prishlo v soldatskih cinkovyh grobah. Byt' mozhet on, kak ty, s devchonkoju guljal, Daril cvety i na gitare ej igral, V poslednij mig, kogda na belyj sneg upal, Devchonki toj on imja krov'ju napisal. Razveet veter posle boja sizyj dym. Devchonka ta idet po gorodu s drugim, Devchonka ta, chto obeshhala — «Podozhdu.» Rastajal sneg, ischezli bukvy na snegu. «Ya uhozhu, — skazal mal'chishka ej skvoz' grust', — No nenadolgo. Ty zhdi menja i ja vernus'.» Ushjol sovsem, ne vstretiv pervuju vesnu. Prishjol domoj v soldatskom cinkovom grobu.
