Бомбардировщики [Bombardirovshchiki] [English translation]

Comin' in on a wing and the prayer.

Comin' in on a wing and the prayer.

Though there's one motor gone

We can still carry on.

Comin' in on a wing and the prayer.

What a shot, what a fight.

Yes, we really hit the target for tonight!

How we sing as we limp through the air

Look below, there's our field over there.

With our full crew aboard

And our trust in the Lord

Comin' in on a wing and the prayer.

Our people became extremely concerned :

The bomber didn't return that night from it's run.

Radio operators scoured the waves, barely finding anything,

Then five-minutes 'til four we heart something :

"We're sill flyin', limpin' through the dark.

We're limping on one wing.

Hull's breached, our tail is burnin' and one engine runnin'. 1

All on my prayers and one wing." 2

Not a problem! That was the night,

We razed the factories to the ground.

When we left limpin' on one wing.

We approached the motherland.

The crew is in-tact, and the engine still running.

All on my prayers and one wing.

Comin' in on a wing and the prayer.

Comin' in on a wing and the prayer.

Though there's one motor gone

We can still carry on.

Comin' in on a wing and the prayer.

1. Yes, because this song gives me Southern folk-country vibes we're hackin' off that "-g" from "ing".2. I know it says "honesty" but the song opens up with "prayer" and it felt a bit better turning it in a religious direction.
