MICHAEL WALSH AWARD-WINNING WRITER. Without even knowing the words Germans are crying because of this Soviet war song. The composition leaves no one indifferent.

Soviet composers, reflecting on the years of the Great Patriotic War, created many striking compositions. The songs have been exciting the hearts of more than one generation of Russians for decades and, as it turns out, find a response in the hearts of Europeans.

Thus, German listeners showered compliments on the lyrical composition ‘Dark Night,’ which Nikita Bogoslovsky and Vladimir Agatov wrote specifically for the film ‘Two Soldiers.’ Leonid Utesov performed the composition first, but it was Mark Bernes version that became truly popular.

NEWS AND VIEWS FOR LOVERS OF TRUTH, PEACE AND LIBERTY

Fans of the song admit that it makes their hearts beat faster, even though they don’t know the words. And ‘Dark Night’ can easily be called one of the most poignant compositions about the war.

‘As a German, I must say that the song goes straight to the heart,’ ‘0% language knowledge and 100% emotion,’ ‘Melody and words that will make you cry,’ write shocked listeners.

LYRICS: It’s a dark night, only bullets whistling across the steppe, only the wind humming in the wires, the stars twinkling dimly. I know you’re awake on a dark night, my love, I know you’re not sleeping, and you’re secretly wiping away tears at your crib.

THANK YOU MIKE IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR YOUR MUCH-NEEDED DONATION

How I love the depth of your tender eyes, How I want to press my lips to them now! A dark night separates us, my love, and a troubled, black steppe lies between us.

I have faith in you, my dear friend, this faith has kept me from a bullet in the dark night… I’m happy, I’m calm in the deadly battle, I know you’ll meet me with love, whatever happens to me.

Death is not scary; we’ve met it many times in the steppe. And now it’s circling over me. You’re waiting for me and you’re awake at my crib, and that’s why I know that nothing will happen to me!
