Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Подросли уже, ветром вскормлены
Были дети же - стали воины
И кто вверх, кто вниз - в земли дальние
Разменяли жизни медалями
[Verse 2]
Поднят в небо флаг - ух, как много нас
Что же друг стал враг, и команда "фас"
Кто корягами гонит барина
Кто с варягами, кто за Сталина
[Chorus]
Канонада не утихнет
Не запнется вой
Барабанный бой зовет в бой (зовет в бой, зовет в бой)
[Verse 3]
Обустроим вкруг неумеренно
И Восток, и Юг - сила Севера
Оживили мы те окраины
Всё могилами безымянными
[Verse 4]
В бой идет отряд, молод и крещён,
А глаза горят - эх, пожить еще
Гонят сыновей в царство божие
Больше на людей не похожие
[Chorus]
Канонада не утихнет
Не запнется вой
Барабанный бой зовет в бой (зовет в бой, зовет в бой)
[Bridge]
Что с три короба напророчено
Это здорово, но не точно-но
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Барабанный бой зовет в бой (зовет в бой, зовет в бой)
Барабанный бой зовет в бой (зовет в бой, зовет в бой)
Барабанный бой зовет в бой!
[Verse 1]
Grown up, wind-fe
They were children, now they're warriors
And up and down to faraway lands
They've exchanged their lives for medals
[Verse 2]
The flag is raised in the sky - oh, how many of us there are
What friend has become foe, and the command is “Fass”.
Who's chasing the baron away with snags
Who's with the Vikings, who's for Stalin.
[Chorus]
The cannonade won't stop
The howling won't stop
The drumbeat calls to battle (calls to battle, calls to battle, calls to battle)
[Verse 3]
Let's build up the neighborhood immoderately
East and South, the power of the North.
We've revitalized those suburbs
All with unmarked graves
[Verse 4]
The troop goes into battle, young and baptized,
“And their eyes are burning - eh, to live yet.
They're chasing their sons to the kingdom of God.
“They don't look like men anymore
[Chorus]
The cannonade won't stop
The howling won't stop
The drumbeat calls to battle (calls to battle, calls to battle)
[Bridge]
What's foretold
That's great, but it's not accurate ♪
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
The drumbeat's calling the fight ♪ ♪ The drumbeat's calling the fight, calling the fight ♪
Drum 'n' bass drum callin' to battle ♪
The drumbeat calls for battle!
