Музыка А. Пахмутова, слова М. Львов | Music A. Pakhmutova, lyrics M. Lvov
Burning Snow
Blizzards were swirling fiercely
Over Stalingrad* ground
Sweaty greatcoats were steaming
And soldiers walked through ashes.

And a tank was in a snowdrift as if in a bog
And shells were hitting its armour
Snowflakes were melting in flight
Like branches with leaves on fire.

And a man fell in battle
In burning snow, in bloody snow.

The wind of this mortal battle -
Was as if it were molten metal -
And burned and smelted everything in the world,
That even the snow became hot.

And beyond the final, terrible line
It happened: tank and man
Met in hand-to-hand combat,
And the snow turned to ashes...

With his hands, the man grabbed hold of
Burning snow, bloody snow.

White snowstorms subsided
They became flowers through the spring.
Great years have flown by
And I am still in the war at heart

Where snowstorms finished our burial song*
Where in the ground many lay.
And at home mothers turned gray
By the house, bloomed cherry trees

And I will forever have in my eyes

Burning snow, bloody snow.
