Братишка [Bratishka] [English translation]

On a military base where helicopters are placed propeller to propeller and glass cockpits watch into the sky with sorrow

There is a special "copter" that can be seen from far away, it has bright inscription "Bratishka" with bullet holes in it's side

Chorus:

From Bamut and to Tskhinvali, from one war to another, with respect it was named so by soldiers

The situation was tough for battle has been going on for long and thus a platoon of paratroopers got into encirclement

Lads were saddened by such conditions as for enemies' hordes saw no end but they spotted "Bratishka" flying to them, their favourite helicopter

It dropped down armaments to them, everything they need for war and so they broke out of the encirclement winning the battle

Mujahideen furiously tried to take it down but the helicopter was incredibly agile

It can go through heavy fire without losing altitude, it has a bright inscription "Bratishka" with bullet holes in it's side

Chorus:

From Bamut and to Tskhinvali, from one war to another, with respect it was named so by soldiers

Helicopter drops off soldiers and then it flies away, then it goes back there again to take wounded and bring meds

And so it has a lot of work to do and though bullet holes are easily seen, it continues to fly again and again for it is modest hard worker on a war

Chorus:

From Bamut and to Tskhinvali, from one war to another, with respect it was named so by soldiers

It is real, not from a book and it raises altitude, it has a bright inscription "Bratishka" with bullet holes in it's side
