Zhenka ‐ Женька (soviet song)

When dark wings flied over land, she came to partisans..." Song about young girl-partisan Music: E. Zharkovskiy Lyrics: K. Vanshenkin 1963г. #russianmusic #sovietmusic #warsong #russiansong #partisan Text (eng+ru): There is a village in the middle of the forests. Once upon a time, a girl named Zhenya lived there. She bore a boy's name, mowed tall grass, and had cheerful strength in her. Steel storms howled, The shadow of wings fell on the clearings. And Zhenya joined the partisans. She was in secret and in ambush, She was respected in the detachment, They wanted to put her up for a reward. It used to be that when the mother came to the village, she would ask the tired Zhenya: Well, how are you living: Little by little... Let’s go on a mission, guys. Hit by an enemy grenade. Cotton wool came out of the padded jacket. There is a photograph hanging in the school, There is no sadness or pain in the smile, She was sixteen - no more. Her eyes were boundless, Her dreams were sinless, Her words were careless... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Стоит средь лесов деревенька. Жила там когда-то давненько, Жила там когда-то давненько Девчонка по имени Женька. Мальчишечье имя носила, Высокие травы косила. Высокие травы косила. Была в ней веселая сила. Завыли стальные бураны, Тень крыльев легла на поляны. Тень крыльев легла на поляны. И Женька ушла в партизаны. В секрете была и в засаде, Ее уважали в отряде, Ее уважали в отряде, Хотели представить к награде. ...Висит фотография в школе - В улыбке ни грусти, ни боли. В улыбке ни грусти, ни боли. - Шестнадцать ей было, не боле. Повторение первого куплета. 1963
