Publisher: VTsIK
Place of publishing:

Description: 1. Father, the old man and his wife
Leave and go to war.

2. In the service under the royal bayonet
They'll feed you with your fist!

3. Then, like sheep, the crowd
They will drive you all to the slaughter.

4. You burn and destroy the bridges,
The huts are the same as you!

5. And after, shot through the chest
You'll die like a dog somewhere.

6. You tell orphans, grieving
Your father, the old man, is talking about you.

7. You do not run out, you learn war
In a cruel, distant captivity!

8. And you will perish, so your body
Crows crow at the dawn!

9. A cripple you will return back,
Do not go to the rich, brother!

So sit on the throne,
Some scoundrel in the crown,
The People's Blood Old Moth
Fooled "over" his people.
War! .. From the hut, from the plow
Leaving mother, wife and friend.
The crowd, like slave cattle.
People were depressed People

Bayonet with a swing,
Burn, plunder, kill "without fear"
His Brothers and fathers, -
Cruel supposedly enemies!
War! The sea of ​​blood rages,
The villages are burning, the smoke is crimson;
And the poor whole country
On the smooth and morose is doomed!

War! ... Feast capitals,
A lot of goals have been laid.
But the more numerous the graves,
The less strength of the people,
The higher and stronger the bankers,
The more beautiful are the palaces,
Richer than louts and merchants!

War! ... No blood, no dwelling,
In the country, a beggar, a beggar,
Soldiers in torn zipunah,
Their children, their mothers, in tears,
In a cruel fiery torrent:
She is in the houses talking about her son,
He, barefoot, about his own father
He dreams while sitting on the porch!

And there, in palaces, in houses-chambers
There is a rant and feast of the rich,
Tsarits, princes and kings,
Crowd of people's executioners, -
But the lid! The outrage is over,
Kings unheard of swinishness,
King - rolled the eternal stake ...
And - it's over, it's over!
