It's a song full of emotion. I wish I could understand the lyrics. I wish I could learn Russian because it sounds so good. I want to drink and scream and sing songs in Russian. Greetings from Turkiye
For English speakers. Translation of song lyrics I loved Sokol - handsome, tall... I loved him with all my soul, but he went off to be a soldier... Soldiers are lucky to be alive, just hang on. The trowels will clatter, the parents will groan. They say that when there's no grief, grief begins. At the military table, a soldier is called for. Oh, sweetheart, how could you be drafted? And where will you go to fight so young? I didn't think Christmas trees had needles. I didn't think they'd give my darling a rifle. I'm walking, and currant bushes are coming towards me. That's my darling gone to defend his homeland. Oh war, oh war, what has it done? She took my darling to the front, ruddy and white. Oh, war, war, war, what has she done? She took my darling to the front, and I'm left alone. Girls, pray to God for the war to end, And if the war doesn't end, no one will get married. I don't know where he was killed, I don't know where he was buried. I only know that I died for my motherland. I loved Sokol - handsome, tall... I loved him with all my soul, but he went off to soldiering... And he went off to soldiering....

I loved Sokol - handsome, tall...
I loved him with all my soul, but he went off to be a soldier...
Soldiers are lucky to be alive, just hang on.
The trowels will clatter, the parents will groan.
They say that when there's no grief, grief begins.
At the military table, a soldier is called for.
Oh, sweetheart, how could you be drafted?
And where will you go to fight so young?
I didn't think Christmas trees had needles.
I didn't think they'd give my darling a rifle.
I'm walking, and currant bushes are coming towards me.
That's my darling gone to defend his homeland.
Oh war, oh war, what has it done?
She took my darling to the front, ruddy and white.
Oh, war, war, war, what has she done?
She took my darling to the front, and I'm left alone.
Girls, pray to God for the war to end,
And if the war doesn't end, no one will get married.
I don't know where he was killed, I don't know where he was buried.
I only know that I died for my motherland.
I loved Sokol - handsome, tall...
I loved him with all my soul, but he went off to soldiering...
And he went off to soldiering....
