I’m sure at least Lancer44 is familiar with russian song “Na pole tanki grohotali…”. I saw the english translation, thought it kinda fun, so i post it here. It fits well into original melody ((http://www.muzudar.ru/download.php?id=191&ass=chizh_-_na_pole_tanki_grohotali.mp3)):
The tanks were rattling like a thunder
The soldiers went to final fight
And here they carried young commander
With head all broken outright
And here they carried young commander
With head all broken outright
His tank was hit with armor-piercer
So say good-bye to Guardian crew
Four smashed corpses in the hillside
Will decorate a morning view ’
Four smashed corpses in the hillside
Will decorate a morning view ’
Cause now the vehicle is a-burning
Wait for the shells to detonate
You wanna live to see this morning
But you’re too weak and it’s too late
You wanna live to see this morning
But you’re too weak and it’s too late
So they’ll extract you from the re’mains
They’ll put your coffin on the clay
And fire & thunder from the main guns
Will see you into your last way
And fire & thunder from the main guns
Will see you into your last way
For now the telegrams are flying
To tell the friends and relatives
That their good son is never coming
And never getting any leave
That their good son is never coming
And never getting any leave
And there’s that photo on the bookshelf
Collecting dust for years on end -
In uniform, with shoulder-boards on…
And he will never be her man.
In uniform, with shoulder-boards on…
And he will never be her man.
