[Bob Hubbard]

[yt]Ep3h-2r_q98[/yt]

Everybody, sing along Komerades!

 

[Bob Hubbard]

A clearer version is here

Polyushko-pole, polyushko, shiroko
pole,
Edut po polyu geroi,
Ekh, da krasnoy armii geroi.

Devushki plachut,
Devushkam segodnya grustno,
Milyy nadolgo uekhal,
Ekh, da milyy v armiyu uekhal.

Devushki, glyan'te,
Glyan'te na dorogu nashu,
V'yotsya dal'nyaya doroga,
Ekh, da razvesyolaya doroga.

Tol'ko my vidim,
Vidim my seduyu tuchu,
Vrazh'ya zloba iz-za lesa,
Ekh, da vrazh'ya zloba, slovno tucha.

Ekh, devushki, glyan'te,
My vraga prinyat' gotovy,
Nashi koni bystronogi,
Ekh, da nashi tanki bystrokhodny.

Ekh, pust' zhe v kolkhoze
Druzhnaya kipit rabota,
My dozornye segodnya,
Ekh, da my segodnya chasovye.

Many thanks—Daphne will get a kick from that; her mother's side of the family were true Cossacks of the Don, and this is Their Music!

You know, the thrasher version sounded almost like something that the "Ventures" came up with... Notice I said "almost."
