Katusha (WWII favorite)

russian folk song... a war song that was sung during wwii. Soviet Union. video dedicated to the Russian soldiers. Some footage is from WWI but most is from WWII.
-
Translation:
Apple and pear trees were a-blooming,
Mist (was) creeping on the river.
Katyusha set out on the banks,
On the steep and lofty bank.

She was walking, singing a song
About a grey steppe eagle,
About her true love,
Whose letters she was keeping.

Oh you song! Little song of a maiden,
Head for the bright sun.
And reach for the soldier on the far-away border
Along with greetings from Katyusha.

Let him remember an ordinary girl,
And hear how she sings,
Let him preserve the Motherland,
Same as Katyusha preserves their love.

For all the brave soldiers of the red army who gave their lives in service of their country!

@Paeremannen -- yes, I found the Wikipedia entry on Proto-Indo-European quite informative in this regard. As for all people being brothers (and sisters): I fully agree. It's not just a romantic notion; it's a scientific fact. The whole of humanity is descended from a handful of people who lived in northeast Africa around 85,000 years ago. We are one extended family. It's time to stop the warring and enjoy the diversity of our peoples.

@JasperElvenSky In 1991 Saddam refuse to give back Quwait, was his mistake. All the weapons prepared against Iran turn against Irak. After Afganistan, now is turn of Iran. But is a problem. Iran is allied with China and India.

@JasperElvenSky Iran is a nation who refuse the new order. Irak, Quwait, Romania, same story. Romania and Quwait manage to make a bank in 1989, to help poor countries. They have upset FMI and Mondial Bank. Romania in !989, was the single country in all the world without debt. In 1989, started "revolution", now we are at the mercy of International Monetary Fund. In 1990 Quwait follow, was attacked by Irak, a punishment. Saddam and Iraq at the time was the servant of the U.S.

@JasperElvenSky Is true. In Romania, in a place called Bugiulesti, was also discovered our ancestors from the oldest times (1.500.000 years). Also recently in a cave from Romania was discovered a skull of a man who is a link between Neanderthal man and Homo Sapiens, is the oldest man from Europe, discovered until now (45.000 years).
