Jerry Heil - КИШЕНЬКА (LITTLE POCKET) (English Translation) Lyrics[Chorus]
Mother put in her son's pocket a handful of earth
So that before the battle her son would not faint
She pressed her daughter to the heart with the earth
To relieve her fatigue, as if at home in the village
Oh, mother put in her son's pocket a handful of earth
So that before the battle her son would not faint
She pressed her daughter to the heart with thе earth
To relievе her fatigue, as if at home in the village
[Verse 1]
It hurts, it hurts for how many months, as if we're madmen
Life is a moment, it’s like a thread over a knife
And thoughts boil in a whirlpool of terrible ideas
Parents wait for news from Kyiv by the gate
[Chorus]
Mother put in her son's pocket a handful of earth
So that before the battle her son would not faint
She pressed her daughter to the heart with the earth
To relieve her fatigue, as if at home in the village
Oh, mother put in her son's pocket a handful of earth
So that before the battle her son would not faint (So that her son)
She pressed her daughter to the heart with the earth
To relieve her fatigue, as if at home in the village
[Verse 2]
Mother asked to return quickly
Tears hung on her chin
Gray hair turned even grayer
And dissolved like ash in the air
Father planted in the old garden
Two apple trees, like daughter and son
He knows: in spring they will bloom
But for now, he waits and prays
[Chorus]
Mother put in her son's pocket a handful of earth
So that before the battle her son would not faint
She pressed her daughter to the heart with the earth
To relieve her fatigue, as if at home in the village
Oh, mother put in her son's pocket a handful of earth
So that before the battle her son would not faint (So that her son)
She pressed her daughter to the heart with the earth
To relieve her fatigue, as if at home in the village
