This translation is at the original speed, which might be a bit too fast for comfortable reading. Here’s the poem and the translation, which was adapted to preserve rhyme and rhythm as much as possible. Знаю, в сердце у тебя тревога- Нелегко быть матерью солдата! Знаю, всё ты смотришь на дорогу, По которой я ушёл когда-то. Знаю я, морщинки глубже стали И чуть-чуть сутулей стали плечи. Нынче насмерть мы в бою стояли, Мама, за тебя, за нашу встречу... I know that your heart is full of worry, For it’s hard to be a soldier’s mother. I know you keep looking at the road Which had taken me past the horizon. I know, now, your wrinkles are yet deeper, And your shoulders are a bit more skewed. Earlier we battled the Grim Reaper, Mom, for you, for us to meet anew.
