- my friend, do you hear – do not name the enemy
- by name and don’t remember his face.
- the enemy has neither mother nor father,
- there is neither a child nor an old man in the enemy.
- you will shoot at the enemy, so immediately shoot,
- be afraid to delay, to step aside.
- the enemy has no memory, no way,
- He doesn’t have May or February.
- for if you see his face,
- the north wind will settle inside you,
- will walk in you, scraping from the inside,
- thin non-removable drill bit.
- for you will have to bathe in milk
- and the spring forty by forty times,
- for you have to whisper the black evil eye,
- cast with wax, and drown the wax in the river.
- and still will not help, it will twist,
- whine about the weather, somewhere in the bones itching.
- do not recognize the enemy, have pity on yourself.
- the enemy has no memory, no way.
- cloudy now and the horizon of lead,
- the north wind is spinning, the air is dark.
- my friend, do you hear, don’t call me
- by name and don’t remember my face.
