lyrics

2. Дело было под Полтавой (ст. Кумылженская Волгоградской области)

Дело было под Полтавой,
Дело славное, друзья!
Как дралися, ой, да мы со шведом
Под знамёнами Петра.

Наш могучий император -
Память вечная ему! -
Сам ружьём солдатским правил,
Сам он пушки заряжал.

Сам ружьём солдатским правил,
Сам он пушки заряжал.
Сам, родимый, а он пред полками
Ясным соколом летал.

На груди его могучей
Чудотворный крест сиял.
Пули облаком они летели,
Кровь горячая лилась.

Как одна-то вражья пуля
Мимо шляпы пронеслась,
А другая она лиходейка
В седло царское впилась.

От удара коник сторопился,
Всё быстрее поскакал.
Император, а он не смутился,
Снова в битву поспешал.
2. It all happened near Poltava (stanitsa Kumylzhenskaya, Volgograd region)

It all happened near Poltava,
Oh, the famous combat, friends!
As we battled with the Swedes
In the name of our tsar.

Our mighty imperator –
Holy memory to him! –
By himself he ruled the soldiers,
By himself he charged the guns.

By himself he ruled the soldiers,
By himself he charged the guns.
By himself before the squadrons
Like a clear falcon flew.

On the mighty breast of Peter
The vivific christcross shone.
Bullets darted like a cloud
And the hot blood poured out.

As the one of hostile bullets
Flew away before his hat,
And the othet evil-doer
Ripped into the tsarist saddle.

Peter’s horse began to bustle,
Galloped faster from the field.
Imperator didn’t worry
And he hurried to the fight.
