One of the top Russian songs, from the film Beloye Solntse Pustyny (White Sun of the Desert), about a Russian soldier in 1920s Central Asia, and a favourite film of Cosmonauts. If any of you play Russian venues or to Russian audiences, this will bring a tear to many eyes.

Vashe blagorodiyeh, gospozha razluka,
mnye s toboyu kholodno, vot kakaya shtuka.
Pis'metzo v konvyerte
pogodi - nye rvi...
Ne vezyot mnye v smyerti,
povezyot v lyubvi.

Vashe blagorodiyeh gospozha chuzhbina,
zharko obnimala ty, da malo lyubila.
V shelkovye syeti
postoy - nye lovi...
Ne vezyot mnye v smyerti,
povezyot v lyubvi.


Vashe blagorodiyeh gospozha udacha,
dlya kogo ty dobraya, a komu inache.
Devyet' grammov v serdtze
postoy - nye zovi...
Ne vezyot mnye v smyerti,
povezyot v lyubvi.

Vashe blagorodie gospozha pobyeda,
znachit, moya pyesenka do kontza ne spyeta!
Perestan'tye, chyorti,
klyastsa na krovi...
Ne vezyot mnye v smyerti,
povezyot v liubvi.

My poor translation:

Your excellency, Lady Separation,
it's cold with you, that's just how it is.
a letter in the envelope
hold on - don't rip it out...
I'm unlucky in death,
I'll be lucky in love.

Your excellency, Lady Foreign Land,
you passionately embraced me, but hardly loved me.
in a silken web
hold on - don't trap me...
I'm unlucky in death,
I'll be lucky in love.

Your excellency Lady Luck,
To some you are kind, to others you are not.
Nine grams to my heart
hold on - don't call...
I'm unlucky in death,
I'll be lucky in love.

Your excellency Lady Victory,
My song is not all the way sung!
stop, you devils,
swearing by blood...
I'm unlucky in death,
I'll be lucky in love.
