The Soviet Tankmen's Song is a popular Russian song, the final variant of which was popularized by the Soviet 1968 film ''Na Voine kak na Voine'',〔Note: The title of the film is a Russian saying, which is a calque from French ''à la guerre comme à la guerre'', which is commonly rendered in English as "All's fair in love and war". However literally it means "In the war like in the war" or "A war is a war"〕 about the crew of an SU-85 self-propelled gun. The song has no official title and is referred to by its first line: ''Po Polyu Tanki Grokhotali'' ("Across the Field Tanks Thundered"). The song melody originated from the old Russian miners song "Sirens sounded alarm" ("Гудки тревожно прогудели"), popularized in the 1940 film "Big life". The lyrics of the song were replaced during World War II.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Гудки тревожно загудели )〕 == Lyrics == English translation by Daniil Vorobyev The tanks were rattling like a thunder The soldiers went to their last fight And here they carried young commander With head all broken outright An armor-piercer hit his vehicle, So say good-bye to his Guards crew. Just four more corpses in the hillside Will add to fair morning view. And as the vehicle is burning, Wait for the shells to detonate. You want to live and see next morning, But you're too weak and it's too late. When they extract us from the wreckage, They'll put our bodies in a strip. Then salvos by our turret gunners Will set us down to our last trip. Now mournful telegrams are flying To every friend and relative To read: "Your son will not be coming, Nor will he ever get a leave." His old mom will sob in a corner, His dad will wipe a silent tear. His fiancee will never learn now What kind of end got her love dear. And there's his photo in her old books Collecting dust in their sad gloom, His uniform with shoulder-straps on... And he's no longer her bridegroom. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Soviet Tankmen's Song」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
