When We Were At War - Russian Folk Song Cossack

When We Were At War lyrics in English When we were in the war, When we were in the war, Every man thought about his beloved or about his wife Every man thought about his beloved or about his wife. And i, of course, might well have thought And i, of course, might well have thought While looking at my pipe And it bluish smoke, And while looking at my pipe And it’s bluish smoke, About how you used to lie to me, About how you used to lie to me, And the fact that you had already Given your girlish heart away to someone else long before. And the fact that you had already Given your girlish heart away to someone else long before. I’m just waiting for a reliable bullet, I’m just waiting for a reliable bullet, That will quell my grief And put an end to our enmity! That will quell my grief And put an end to our enmity! Давай-давай казаки! Хэй, давай-давай давай-давай, казаки, эх! Next time we are in a war, Next time we are in a war, I’ll rush to greet that bullet, On my raven-black horse! I’ll rush to greet that bullet, On my raven-black horse! When we were in the war, When we were in the war, Every man thought about his Beloved or about his wife. Every man thought about his Beloved or about his wife. #russian #russianempire #folksong
