When We Were At War (Когда мы были на войне)
David Samoilov
When We Were At War
When we were at war
When we were at war
Everyone was thinking about their
Sweetheart or wife
Everyone was thinking about their
Sweetheart or wife
And I, of course, could think
And I, of course, could think
When I looked at the pipe
With its blue smoke
When I looked at the pipe
With its blue smoke
How you once lied to me
How you once lied to me
Saying your maiden heart
Had long been given to another
Saying your maiden heart
Had long been given to another
But I didn't think about anything
But I didn't think about anything
I just smoked the pipe
With Turkish bitter tobacco
I just smoked the pipe
With Turkish bitter tobacco
I only await a faithful bullet
I only await a faithful bullet
To quench my sorrow
And to end our enmity
To quench my sorrow
And to end our enmity
When we will be at war
When we will be at war
I will fly towards the bullets
On my black horse
I will fly towards the bullets
On my black horse
But apparently death is not for me
But apparently death is not for me
And again my black horse
Carries me out of the fire
And again my black horse
Carries me out of the fire
