Helmut Lotti - "Poljushko Polje"

Helmut Lotti - "Poljushko Polje".
For the girls, the goodbyes are heartbreaking when their loved ones have to leave for the army. Because the army, no matter how well armed, always has to deal with an enemy that shows no mercy.
The song originated in the thirties of the last century. A soldiers song, a song of the Red Army, that developed a bitter historical taste since World War II and the thereupon following Cold War.

-------------------------------

Field, my field, my wide field,
The heroes ride over the field,
hey, the heroes of the Red Army.

The girls are crying,
the girls are sorrowful today,
their sweethearts went away for a long time,
hey, their sweethearts went away to the army

Chanson des plus entraînantes, chanson-thème de ma propre vie, version Helmut Lotti,

Voix si grandiose digne d'être dans le Choeur de l'Armée rouge!

Toujours charmé par cette chanson,elle me donne le désir de l'action!

Elle me sert quand j'ai des choses a faire qui me demandent des charges de cavalerie!

[Luksorit]

If we take into account the fact that the song dates back to 1934, the lyrics might sound as an omen to the dark times that would come for the people of the Russlands and the 17 millions deads tribute they would pay in the conflict to come. Independently of any inexistent politic propaganda the song is really moving when replaced into its historical context.
