Translation of Russian song
Hi, my friends! It's me again. Unfortynately I can't boast that any Serbian woman gifted me with her attention ;) so I just drank a portion of Serbian wine (called Srpsko Crno Poluslatko which means as I suppose Serbian Black semi-sweet) and decided to translate one good Russian Song. Don't fall, please! It's song by Igor Talkov "Former Pod'esaul" Pod'esaul it's military rank in Old Russia (Tsarist Russia as told me Google Translator ;)
I'll try to tranlate as close as possible to original text trying to keep meaning of phrases, cause keeping original meaning will be the main goal of my translation.
Let's go :)
Бывший подъесаул //Former Pod'esaul
Уходил воевать //was going to war
На проклятье отца //On cursing of his father
и молчание брата //and silence of his brother
Он ответил "Так надо! //He answered "It must be!
Но вам не понять", //But you won't understand"
Молча обнял жену //Silently embraced his wife
и добавил "Так надо!" //And added "It must be!"
That's it for today, but I hope to continue in near future.
