Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
poplyli tumany nad rekoj.
Vykhodila na bereg Katyusha,
na vysokij bereg na krutoj.
Vykhodila, pesniu zavodila
pro stepnogo, sizogo orla,
pro togo, kotogoro liubila,
pro togo, chi pisma beregla.
ty leti za iasnym soltsem vsled.
I bojtsu na daldnem pograniche
ot Katyushi peredaj privet.
Pust om vspomit devushku prostuiu,
pust uslyshit, kak ona poet,
pust om zemliu berezhet rodnuiu,
a liubov Katyusha sberezhet.
Pust om zemliu berezhet rodnuiu,
a liubov Katyusha sberezhet.
Rastsvetali iabloni i grushi,
poplyli tumany nad rekoj.
Vykhodila na bereg Katyusha,
na vysokij bereg na krutoj.
Vykhodila na bereg Katyusha,
na vysokij bereg na krutoj.
The lyrics of Georgij Vinogradov's Katyusha describe the story of a young woman named Katyusha who goes to a high and steep shore to sing a song about her love for a soldier who is fighting on a distant border. As she sings, the apple and pear trees are in full bloom around her, and the mist floats above the river. Katyusha's song is about a "steppe and gray eagle" that she loves and the soldier to whom she sends her greetings through the song.
The song is full of emotion as Katyusha sings about her love for the soldier and her hope that he will remember her and her simple life in the countryside. The lyrics express the pain and longing felt by the loved ones left behind during wartime. The refrain of the song, "Let him remember an ordinary girl, let him hear how she sings, let him save his homeland and love Katyusha," echoes the sentiment of many people who have had to say goodbye to their loved ones during times of war.
Overall, the song Katyusha is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifice made by those on the front lines.
