Translated lyrics
1. Do not buy me and lockets Do not make me look pretty Buy yourself a pair of boots Because you are in the army now Yoshke is going away Another hour, just one hour and his train will be off 2. Do not grieve for me Do not cry over me It is nothing When I get to the army I shall be the best soldier in my company oy oy oy Yoshke is going away. Just one more kiss And the train will be off
