lyrics

Шурави
(музика і слова Вiктор Маришев)

Вже багато минуло як ми повернулись,
Але не вернулися всі.
Глянь мати ридає, та батько сумує
І стоне від болю земля.
Нема вже синочка, нема і не буде
Забрала чужая війна
Війна не потрібна, така вже безглузда,
Для кого, для кого вона.

Шураві, Шураві, ми там рідні були
Тільки не всім нам судилось
жити на рідній землі
Баача, Баача, як нам вас не хвата.
Жили би з нами разом,
Як би не клята війна

А скільки синів не вернулось додому
Принесли тюльпани, гроби.
Ніхто їм не скаже чому і для кого
В Афгані спочили вони.
Так піднімем бокали за наших друзів
Яких з нами поруч нема
Вони спочивають навіки, навіки
І пухом їм рідна земля.

Шураві, Шураві, ми там рівні були
Тільки не всім нам судилось
жити на рідній землі
Баача, Баача, як нам вас не хвата.
Жили би з нами разом,
Як би не клята війна

Shuravi
(Music & lyrucs by Viktor Maryshev)

It's been long since we’re back home
Or hadn’t returned at all
Watch the mother’s weep and father’s frown
And hear the earth’s painful moan
Her son is no more, and for ever no more
Away he's been taken by the strangers' war
The war is waste and so void
Who does need it? Who does?

Shuravi, shuravi
We’d been there so dear
But it hadn't been everyone's fortune
to live our life in our homes
Bacha, bacha
We miss you so far
You might live with us, you all
If it were not for that bloody war

How many sons had not returned home?
the Black Tulips carried their coffins
No one tells for whom and why
For ever they sleep in Afghan
So let us raise our cups high and drink for our pals
For they stay no more by our side
They sleep for ever and ever
And may they lie peaceful in our soil deep

Shuravi, shuravi
Peers we’d been there so dear
But it hadn't been everyone's fortune
to live our life in our homes
Bacha, bacha
We miss you so far
You might live with us, you all
If it were not for that bloody war
Shuravi, shuravi
We’d been there so dear
But it hadn't been everyone's fortune
to live our life in our homes
Bacha, bacha
We miss you so far
You might live with us, you all
If it were not for that bloody war
