TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

There in the distance, behind the river
The lights were turning on
In the clear sky the dawn was burning out.
Hundred young fighters
From the Budyonnov's troops
Rode in the fields for reconnaissance.

And the fearless squad
Galloped to the enemy.
A bloody battle ensued.
And a young fighter
Suddenly lowered his head -
The Komsomol heart was holed.

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Там вдали, за рекой
Зажигались огни,
В небе ясном заря догорала.
Сотня юных бойцов
Из буденновских войск
На разведку в поля поскакала.

И бесстрашно отряд
Поскакал на врага.
Завязалась кровавая битва.
И боец молодой
Вдруг поник головой —
Комсомольское сердце пробито.
