Lyrics:

Gray Hair

In 1941, in 1941
The boys went to be soldiers.
They were in hell, they were in hell,
And returned back home in 1945.
 
Gray hair, gray hair -
Appeared on their temples for 20 years.
Gray hair, gray hair -
It’s the dust from all the roads and tiredness.
Like a reward
It came to the boys for their victories.
 
Veterans of war, veterans of war,
Your youth became a legend!
The whiteness of your gray hair -
It’s a reflection of snow and metal.
 
Gray hair, gray hair -
It’s the gauze of medical units.
Gray hair, gray hair  -
The silver given for the wounds on your hands.
It’s a burning pain,
It’s the ashes of your father’s hut.
 
The earth is restive  -
Thunder is heard somewhere on the planet.
And now the sons, and now the sons
of those fighters are responsible for the Fatherland.
 
Gray hair, gray hair -
It’s the glitter of the fire-spouting flashes.
Let it never touch
our boys again!
Gray hair, gray hair -
Do not touch our boys!
Gray hair, gray hair -
never touch our boys
