(Immortal works of Konstantin Simonov "Wait for me" by lips participants of ATO. Dedicated to the friends and relatives of servicemen.)
Wait for me, and I`ll be back.
Only you do wait!
When it`s raining night and day
So yellow and sad.
Wait for me when it is snowy,
Or in summer heat.
Wait even when the others don`t,
Hopeless to meet.
Wait when news from far away
You do not receive...
Go on waiting night and day
And in me believe!
Wait for me, and I`ll be back.
Don`t listen to
Those who say, no use to wait,
I won`t be back to you.
Let my mother and son resign
With the fact I died.
Let my friends sit by the fire,
Of their waiting tired.
Drinking a bottle of bitter wine
To pray for my poor soul...
Go on waiting and never join
Them also thinking so.
Wait for me, and I`ll be back
Through the deadly fire.
Those who did not wait may say,
So lucky I`m.
Can they ever understand,
That amidst the fire
Owing to your faithful waiting
Could I stay alive!
Only you and I will know
Why I have survived.
Just for you`d been waiting so,
As to save my life.
