Many soldiers were laid nigh the roads to rest...
What’s the toll? What’s the toll?!
In the briefings of the Soviet Information Bureau
Only enemy losses are told.

It’s a failure to think that our losses were least.
So it is, so it is...
You can see it yourself: like a wounded wild beast,
There’s a burned out tank in the field.

Where is Válya Petróv? Oh, how can one not know?
He protected a breach with his tank.
In the briefings we read: “...inflict losses on foe”.
Well and we, we did fall further back.
