My Army

Ensemble Alexandrov's song 'My Army' is a powerful tribute to the unwavering dedication and camaraderie found within the military. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of soldiers who are always ready to defend their homeland, driven by a deep sense of duty and love for their country. The trumpet's call symbolizes the ever-present readiness to face any threat, highlighting the soldiers' constant vigilance and preparedness. This readiness is not just a duty but a profound part of their identity, intertwining their love and fate with their military service.

The song delves into the challenging yet noble life of a soldier. The phrase 'Obyknovennaya, sud'ba nelyogkaya voyennaya' (Ordinary, difficult military fate) captures the essence of the soldier's life—ordinary in its routine yet extraordinary in its demands and sacrifices. The love described in the song is 'surovaya, no vernaya' (harsh but faithful), reflecting the tough yet unwavering bond soldiers share with their duty and each other. This bond is further emphasized by the repeated line 'My ot soldata I do marshala odna sem'ya' (From soldier to marshal, we are one family), underscoring the unity and brotherhood that transcends ranks within the military.

The passage of time is acknowledged with 'Mchatsya nashi gody, No zhizn' moloda' (Our years fly by, but life is young), suggesting that despite the years passing, the spirit and vitality of the soldiers remain undiminished. The song celebrates the enduring spirit and youthful vigor of the military, always ready to rise to the occasion. 'My Army' is not just a song about military life; it is a heartfelt ode to the resilience, unity, and unwavering commitment of those who serve, capturing the essence of their shared journey and the profound love they have for their homeland and each other.
