      +Tris Blackshaw If it made you smile and laugh then it had the desired effect. Eduard adored the fact that it made people all over the world happy. Go watch the clip of him watching his own video - and other people's parodies of him. (Be sure to turn subtitles on (CC) so you can read what he's saying.)

    Eduard was caught up in the fighting in Smolensk as a little boy in 1941 and he got separated from his mother during the panic of the evacuation. He went to a orphanage in Penza where many of the children there died from cold and malnutrition. However even though he was only seven years old, he not only managed to keep going in this Hell, but he also sang and performed to the wounded and dying soldiers at the nearby hospital.

    Eduard grew up during the second world war and experienced first hand some of the hardships when he was separated from his mother and had to stay at a children's home without enough food or proper supplies. Eduard sang to wounded soldiers at the hospital doing his part to cheer them up, he was a high-spirited fellow from the start, a shining star of Russia and the entire world!

      I’m 42 and it’s 2024. I only wish I would’ve known about one of the greatest voices ever 42 years ago. He was hidden behind that iron curtain for to long, but I guarantee that if he was alive today he would see what kind of an impact his voice made to those who appreciate it. I’m a farmer out in California but I know great music when I hear it.

    English lyrics of the song:
    "Through the field, along the river -
    Past the huts -
    Dressed in a simple common grey coat,
    Soldier walked…
    Soldier walked, breaching the barriers,
    Soldier walked, losing his dear friends
    Often it happened
    He walked without halt
    On and on he walked!
    He walked in the nights so stormy,
    Rain and hail
    With his battlefield companions
    Songs he sang…
    Soldier sang, choking down his tears,
    Soldier sang of Russian birch trees,
    Of darling’s brown eyes,
    Home of his parents -
    On the way he sang!
    As if forever to his shoulder
    Gun was glued
    Everywhere his bitter foemen
    Soldier fought
    Soldier fought them in Smolensk and
    Soldier fought in nameless places
    Bullets uncounted,
    Eyes ever sleepless,
    Soldier fought his foes!
    Through the field, along the river -
    Past the huts -
    Dressed in a simple common grey coat,
    Soldier walked…
    Soldier walked, his Homeland’s servant
    Soldier walked - in the name of life
    Saving his dear land,
    Rescuing the world,
    On and on he walked!
    Saving his dear land,
    Rescuing the world -
    On and on he walked!"

    Translation of "Ballad of a Soldier"
    The soldier wearing the grey greatcoat walked
    in a field along a steep shore, the soldier walked
    without regard to any boundaries, he walked loosing his friends,
    oftentimes without rest, he walked forward.
    He walked during thunderous nights, in rain and hail,
    He sang songs with his fellow soldiers,
    He sang shedding tears, he sang about his home.

    A rough translation:
    1) Across a field, along the heugh,
    Passing by village houses,
    In a gray overcoat of enlisted
    The soldier went (Shyol soldat, lit. “went the soldier”)
    The soldier went, not knowing barriers,
    The soldier went, losing friends,
    It was often when
    Went without a rest,
    The soldier went forward.

    @undertakerfreak1127 It's about the glory and bravery of soldier who is walking straight to victory. His aim is to defend his family and his land. Despite the hardness of his way, he continiues to walk. He wants to defeat enemies and save all he fight for even by his own life.
