Do Russians want war

Do the Russians want war?
You may ask the silence
over the expanse of arable land and fields
, and birch trees and poplars.
Ask those soldiers
lying under the birches,
and let their sons tell you
if the Russians want a war.

Soldiers died not only for their country
in that war,
but so that people all over the world
could dream in peace.
Under the rustle of leaves and posters
, youre sleeping, New York, youre sleeping, Paris.
Let your dreams tell
you if the Russians want war.

Yes, we know how to fight,
but we dont want
soldiers to fall
to their sad land in battle again.
Ask your mothers,
ask my wife,
and then you should understand.,
