When We Were At War [Когда мы были на войне] (English) - Alderon Tyran

A Popular Russian War Song telling the tragic tale of a soldier at war who finds that his lover back home has been cheating on him. This song was requested personally by a friend of mine.

*Due to recent events, this video will be made Unlisted until the end of the current "event" since I've heard Russian content is being demonetized by YouTube outright, and the nature of the song could hit that. It'll be made public after recent events sort themselves out.

*Well YouTube decided to demonetize it anyways in spite of no views yet so everything's fair game now! Since there will be no money from this, I'd like to ask that, if you want to support me, please check out my Patreon, where you can help select next Month's song theme! Link:

Lyrics:

When we were at war, Oh! We were at war,
In the army corps, drowning in gore,
Each man thought of his love back home
Where she’s waiting by the door.

Of course I do think every time,
Of course I do think every time,
I look at pipes stoke, and the blue smoke,
Rising in the bitter night.

But I will clear my mind of all thoughts,
Oh! Clear my mind of all these thoughts,
Except this good pipe and turkish type
Of tobacco I have bought.

But oh! How she lied, and Oh how she lied,
She lied to me... lied to me!
When she gave her heart to a lover anew
And with it broke my trust in two.

So now I just shoot closing an eye,
I shoot now letting the bullets fly,
Hoping someday, to feel no more pain
And forgive before I die.

Now I go to war, Oh I go to war,
In the army corps, drowning in gore,
Upon my black horse, riding with force
Through bullets honest in their roar.

Alas it looks like Death’s not for me,
Oh surely death won’t let me be,
And this old black horse, an honest horse
Carries me from death against my plea...

Когда мы были на войне,
Когда мы были на войне,
Там каждый думал о своей
Любимой или о жене.
