    Hey, I like watching some of the Russian "The Voice" videos but I can't read the damned subtitles. Someone wrote them in Russian

    There was a happening in military enlistment office (milkomat, military commissariat, in Russia)

    There was a happening in milcomat
    gray-haired guy came
    Asked to get him back in line
    Everybody was confused
    Nobody coud understand, why
    And only old colonel asked him:

    Chechnya is on fire, the second Afghanistan
    Where are you going to, buy?
    And why are you want to battle so hard?
    You already was there, returned at home
    Injured, but alive
    And what is not letting you to rest?

    Grey-haired guy stayed a bit
    And watched to the other side
    To cover his tears away
    To cover his tears away
    It was a quiet in milcomat
    And words sounds like a judgment
    The words you can't repeat

    I saw a death, I saw a fight
    And returned home alive
    But there is nobody waiting for me
    My beloved is with another
    And I'm alone in the whole world
    But my friends are assaulting the
    bunker

    I see fear and hell in my dreams,
    And hear the sounds of cannonade
    But my friends are always with me there.
    They will help and resque, and always give a friendly hand
    And if I'l be killed, they will get back the body

    Drop, drop, drop

    (a song from a comedy movie sometimes used as a drill march)

    Early in the spring
    By a fir-tree all green,
    Vanyusha’s bidding farewell to his love.
    Clad in a shirt of mail,
    He’s saying to his gal:
    “Don’t cry, Marusya, don’t cry, my dove (голубка)”.

    Refrain:
    Marusya says nothing, only weeps.
    Her sorrow
    Holds her heart in grips.
    Drop, drop, drop, Marusya’s eyes, so dear,
    Drop the tears right onto his spear.
    Drop, drop, drop, Marusya’s eyes, so dear,
    Drop a sea of tears.
    Drop, drop, drop
    Right onto his spear.

    In winter, cold ‘n’ severe,
    Again under the fir-tree,
    Vanyusha’s being greeted by his love.
    Clad in a shirt of mail,
    He’s saying to his gal:
    “I’v come to you, I’m back, my dove (голубка)”.

    Refrain:
    Marusya is so happy, she weeps.
    Like a psaltery
    Her joyful heart just sweeps.
    Drop, drop, drop, Marusya’s eyes, so dear,
    Drop the tears right onto his spear.
    Drop, drop, drop, Marusya’s eyes, so dear,
    Drop so sweet a tear…
    Drop, drop
    Right onto his spear.
    Marusya is so happy, she weeps.
    Like a psaltery
    Her joyful heart just sweeps.
    Indifferent alike to praise or blame
    Give heed, O Muse, but to the voice Divine
    Fearing not injury, nor seeking fame,
    Nor casting pearls to swine.

    Thanks,
    Happy New Year to you, yours and everybody from this board.
    Traditional Russian New Year song for you in English from the childhood of everyone in Russia. The translation is almost 100% perfect.
