Your clear eyes now look dim, Frowning, unhappy... You used to go into battle with jokes What happened suddenly to you, Vasya Vasilyochek? Oh, dear! Oh, Vasya-Vasilyok! Oh... Refrain: Sadness doesn't suit the soldier Do not let your grief overcome you Even if there's a reason Never be depressed Do not let grief get inside Never be depressed! Do not be depressed! For almost five weeks already There is no letter from the post. You see, my bro, My heart wants some endearment! Beating the enemy is a different matter - It's better done jokingly. If there's no letter from your sweetheart - Then your thoughts are darker. Oh, dear! Oh, Vasya-Vasilyok! Oh... Refrain But if she is not going to write Then she has forgotten me Then I shall understand That she has never loved me. Why are you, Vasya, my big friend, Torching yourself that way? If she loves you with all her heart, Then you'll get good news! Oh, dear! Oh, Vasya-Vasilyok! Oh... Refrain Keep our shoulders close to each other! Our friendship will stay! If your heart is hot, Then you'll find a girl for you! And if today it hurts don't be sad, Tomorrow will be your day! Hold your head high, Vasya-Vasilyochek! Oh, dear! Oh, Vasya-Vasilyok! Oh... Refrain Что ты Вася приуныл, Голову повесил, Ясны очи замутил, Хмуришься, не весел?.. С прибауткой шуткой в бой Хаживал, дружочек Что случилось вдруг с тобой, Вася-Василечек, Ой, милок! Ой, Вася-Василек! Эх!.. Припев: Не к лицу бойцу кручина, Места горю не давай! Если даже есть причина - Никогда не унывай! Места горю не давай, Никогда не унывай! Не унывай! Письмеца недель пяток Почта не приносит. Понимаешь ли, браток, Сердце ласки просит! Бить врага - вопрос другой С шуткой веселее! Нет письма от дорогой - Думушки темнее. Ой, милок, Ой, Вася-Василек! Эх!.. Припев Не захочет написать, - Значит, позабыла! Значит, надо понимать, Вовсе не любила. Что ты, Вася, друг большой, Зря себя так мучишь? Если любит всей душой - Весточку получишь! Ой, милок, Ой, Вася-Василек! Эх! Припев Прижимай к плечу плечо Дружба остается! Если сердце горячо - Девушка найдется! Нынче больно - не тужи, Завтра твой денечек! Выше голову держи, Вася-Василечек! Ой, милок, Ой, Вася-Василек! Эх! Припев ____________________________ This is official videochannel of the Russian operatic singer Leonid Mikhailovich Kharitonov (bass-baritone).
