Темная Ночь
Mark Bernes
Dark Night
Dark night, only bullets whistle through the steppe
Only the wind howls in the wires, dimly the stars flicker
In the dark night, my love, I know you’re awake
And by the crib, you’re secretly wiping away a tear
How I love the depth of your tender eyes
How I want to press my lips to them right now
The dark night separates us, my love
And the anxious black steppe lies between us
I believe in you, my dear friend
This faith kept me safe from bullets in the dark night
I feel joyful, I’m calm in this deadly fight
I know you’ll greet me with love, no matter what happens to me
Death isn’t scary, we’ve met her before in the steppe
And now she’s circling above me
You’re waiting for me and you’re not sleeping by the crib
And that’s why I know: nothing will happen to me
