Katyusha
Михаил Исаковский (Mikhail Isakovsky), Матвей Блантер (Matvey Blanter)
[Intro]
Do you know "Da nanana nananananana nana, danana nana"?
[Verse 1]
Apple trees and pear trees were aflower
River mist was rising all around
Young Katyusha went strolling by the hour
On the steep banks
O'er the rocky ground
[Verse 2]
Oh, my song, my song of a maiden's true love
To my dear one travel with the sun
To the one with whom Katusha knew love
Bring my greetings to him, to him one by one
[Verse 3]
By the riverbank she sang a love song
Of her hero in a distant land
Of the one she'd dearly loved for so long
Holding tight his letters in her hand
[Verse 4]
Let him know that I am true and faithful
Let him hear that love song that I send
Tell him as he defends our home that
True Katyusha our love will defend
