00:01:10,305 --> 00:01:18,605
Dedicated to the glorious Soviet Army

7
00:03:54,106 --> 00:03:57,856
Have You Volunteered?

AURORA

9
00:05:22,858 --> 00:05:25,208
Bird, fly from the road, and quickly!

10
00:05:25,359 --> 00:05:27,509
Better hurry or you're dead!

11
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:30,210
See that dust cloud coming thickly,

12
00:05:30,361 --> 00:05:32,611
Horses charging far ahead!

13
00:05:32,812 --> 00:05:35,212
Blasting, turning, fire pouring,

14
00:05:35,363 --> 00:05:37,613
Into crowds of enemies!

15
00:05:37,814 --> 00:05:40,214
His machine gun aiming truly,

16
00:05:40,415 --> 00:05:42,615
Our young gunner clears the fields!

17
00:05:44,066 --> 00:05:46,366
Hey, Tachanka gun from Rostov,

18
00:05:46,467 --> 00:05:49,000
You are our joy and you're our pride!

19
00:05:49,201 --> 00:05:51,601
Red Cavalry gun-carts blast off,

20
00:05:51,702 --> 00:05:53,902
Four wheels whirring as they ride!

21
00:05:54,253 --> 00:05:56,503
Hey, Tachanka gun from Rostov,

22
00:05:56,604 --> 00:05:59,004
You are our joy and you're our pride!

23
00:05:59,305 --> 00:06:01,605
Red Cavalry gun-carts blast off,

24
00:06:01,806 --> 00:06:04,206
Four wheels whirring as they ride!

25
00:06:04,357 --> 00:06:06,857
Past the rivers Don and Volga,

26
00:06:06,958 --> 00:06:09,358
Through the golden steppe so free!

27
00:06:09,459 --> 00:06:11,909
Tanned and dusty, our young gunner

28
00:06:12,010 --> 00:06:14,510
Blasted through our enemy!

29
00:06:14,611 --> 00:06:16,961
As, unstoppable and mighty,

30
00:06:17,062 --> 00:06:19,312
Like the manes of our wild steeds,

31
00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:21,913
Manes of wind, smoke, storm, and fire,

32
00:06:22,014 --> 00:06:24,414
Sliced our land like wind through reeds!

33
00:06:24,665 --> 00:06:26,915
Hey, Tachanka gun from Kiev,

34
00:06:27,016 --> 00:06:29,516
You are our joy and you're our pride!

35
00:06:29,667 --> 00:06:32,167
From the far Amur, Tachanka,

36
00:06:32,268 --> 00:06:34,518
Four wheels whirring as you ride!

37
00:06:34,769 --> 00:06:37,119
Hey, Tachanka gun from Kiev,

38
00:06:37,220 --> 00:06:39,720
You are our joy and you're our pride!

39
00:06:39,821 --> 00:06:42,371
From the far Amur, Tachanka,

40
00:06:42,472 --> 00:06:44,622
Four wheels whirring as you ride!

41
00:07:40,173 --> 00:07:42,523
Hey, Tachanka from Poltava!

42
00:07:42,624 --> 00:07:45,004
You are our joy and you're our pride!

43
00:07:45,175 --> 00:07:47,605
Fire your machine gun, Tachanka,

44
00:07:47,706 --> 00:07:50,106
Four wheels whirring as you ride!

45
00:07:50,257 --> 00:07:52,557
Hey, Tachanka from Poltava!

46
00:07:52,658 --> 00:07:55,000
You are our joy and you're our pride!

47
00:07:55,301 --> 00:07:57,601
Fire your machine gun, Tachanka,

48
00:07:58,052 --> 00:08:02,402
Four wheels whirring as you ride!

49
00:09:29,753 --> 00:09:32,553
Past the stream,

50
00:09:32,654 --> 00:09:38,204
Distant campfires gleamed,

51
00:09:38,404 --> 00:09:40,804
As the clear light

52
00:09:40,905 --> 00:09:46,905
of dawn started fading,

53
00:09:47,755 --> 00:09:52,505
There a hundred young scouts

54
00:09:52,606 --> 00:09:57,306
From Budyonny's recruits,

55
00:09:57,407 --> 00:09:59,707
Galloped off

56
00:09:59,808 --> 00:10:05,608
into fields, with foes waiting.

57
00:10:06,108 --> 00:10:11,608
There a hundred young scouts

58
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:16,509
From Budyonny's recruits,

59
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:24,710
Galloped off into fields, with foes waiting.

60
00:10:27,811 --> 00:10:30,411
Long and hard did they ride

61
00:10:30,512 --> 00:10:32,600
In the dead gloom of night,

62
00:10:33,001 --> 00:10:37,301
On the broad, vast Ukrainian steppe.

63
00:10:37,502 --> 00:10:40,102
When across the broad stream,

64
00:10:40,303 --> 00:10:42,603
They saw bayonets gleam -

65
00:10:42,804 --> 00:10:46,904
They were White Guards,
Their ranks locked like chains.

66
00:10:47,355 --> 00:10:49,905
When across the broad stream,

67
00:10:50,206 --> 00:10:52,306
They saw bayonets gleam -

68
00:10:52,707 --> 00:10:57,207
They were White Guards,
Their ranks locked like chains.

69
00:10:57,308 --> 00:10:59,808
And the fearless young troop

70
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:02,309
On its enemy swooped,

71
00:11:02,710 --> 00:11:07,110
Into furious battle proceeding!

72
00:11:07,411 --> 00:11:10,511
Then a young soldier bold

73
00:11:10,612 --> 00:11:12,112
Drooped...

74
00:11:12,263 --> 00:11:17,013
...his head sharply low -

75
00:11:17,264 --> 00:11:26,614
For his Komsomol heart, shot, was bleeding.

76
00:11:26,965 --> 00:11:33,515
Then a young soldier bold

77
00:11:34,566 --> 00:11:42,016
Drooped his head sharply low -

78
00:11:44,267 --> 00:11:54,417
For his Komsomol heart, shot, was bleeding.

79
00:11:54,718 --> 00:11:59,918
So he fell at the feet
Of his fearless black steed,

80
00:12:00,219 --> 00:12:08,019
And his brown eyes he closed,
much too early!

81
00:12:10,070 --> 00:12:13,720
"You, my black steed, my dear,

82
00:12:14,621 --> 00:12:18,021
Tell the rest, who aren't here,

83
00:12:18,472 --> 00:12:24,522
That with... honour I died for the workers..."

84
00:12:26,573 --> 00:12:33,223
"You, my black steed, my dear,

85
00:12:33,874 --> 00:12:40,324
Tell the rest, who aren't here,

86
00:12:40,575 --> 00:12:51,325
That with honour I died for the workers..."

87
00:12:58,276 --> 00:13:08,226
Echelon after echelon...

88
00:13:18,427 --> 00:13:27,827
Echelon after echelon,

89
00:13:27,928 --> 00:13:36,578
Echelon after echelon:

90
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:52,929
And the road gets wider yet.

91
00:13:53,430 --> 00:14:00,330
Our commander gave the order -

92
00:14:00,431 --> 00:14:07,531
That is that! He waves a white handkerchief

93
00:14:07,682 --> 00:14:19,632
To the blue Don with his hand.

94
00:14:19,983 --> 00:14:24,900
Our commander gave the order -

95
00:14:25,001 --> 00:14:30,001
That is that! He waves a white handkerchief

96
00:14:30,102 --> 00:14:38,202
To the blue Don with his hand.

97
00:14:38,453 --> 00:14:42,103
So it was, dear Voroshilov,

98
00:14:42,204 --> 00:14:45,504
That the campaign life made us friends,

99
00:14:45,605 --> 00:14:51,305
Into battle we two charged!

100
00:14:52,056 --> 00:14:55,006
Our foe still recalls with dread the

101
00:14:55,107 --> 00:14:57,807
Fight for Belaya Kalitva,

102
00:14:57,908 --> 00:15:03,308
And the battle for Kalach!

103
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:06,109
Our foe still recalls with dread the

104
00:15:06,210 --> 00:15:08,510
Fight for Belaya Kalitva,

105
00:15:08,611 --> 00:15:12,911
And the battle for Kalach!

106
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:15,562
For Tsaritsyn, for Tsaritsyn,

107
00:15:15,663 --> 00:15:17,713
Days and nights we will keep fighting,

108
00:15:17,814 --> 00:15:21,614
Bravely crossing pikes with pikes!

109
00:15:21,865 --> 00:15:23,865
For Tsaritsyn, for Tsaritsyn,

110
00:15:23,966 --> 00:15:25,816
Days and nights we will keep fighting,

111
00:15:25,917 --> 00:15:29,317
Bravely crossing pikes with pikes!

112
00:15:29,568 --> 00:15:31,368
And rain never will wash away,

113
00:15:31,469 --> 00:15:33,319
From the mound nor from the wolf pit,

114
00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:37,000
The workers' and peasants' blood!

115
00:15:38,901 --> 00:15:40,601
Our commander gave the order -

116
00:15:42,352 --> 00:15:44,102
That's that! He waves a white hankie

117
00:15:44,203 --> 00:15:47,203
To the blue Don with his hand!

118
00:15:47,304 --> 00:15:51,104
Hey!

119
00:15:51,205 --> 00:15:54,755
And the road gets wider yet!

120
00:15:54,856 --> 00:15:56,506
Echelon after echelon,

121
00:15:56,607 --> 00:15:58,207
Echelon after echelon -

122
00:15:58,308 --> 00:16:01,208
And the road gets wider yet!

123
00:16:01,309 --> 00:16:02,309
Hey!

124
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:29,260
White is the Army and Black the Baron

125
00:16:29,361 --> 00:16:32,111
That want to restore the old Tsar's throne,

126
00:16:32,262 --> 00:16:34,912
But from the taiga to the British seas

127
00:16:35,013 --> 00:16:37,713
The Red Army's the strongest there is.

128
00:16:38,164 --> 00:16:40,714
May the Red Army

129
00:16:40,815 --> 00:16:43,315
Grip masterfully

130
00:16:43,466 --> 00:16:48,516
The bayonet with its rough hand!

131
00:16:48,617 --> 00:16:50,917
And we all have to

132
00:16:51,118 --> 00:16:53,418
Irrepressibly

133
00:16:53,619 --> 00:16:58,019
Enter the final mortal fight!

134
00:16:59,620 --> 00:17:04,020
Red Army, let's march on our way!

135
00:17:04,571 --> 00:17:09,021
The Rev-Mil-Council calls us into the fray.

136
00:17:09,572 --> 00:17:13,822
Since from the taiga to the British seas,

137
00:17:14,223 --> 00:17:18,223
The Red Army's the strongest there is!

138
00:17:18,324 --> 00:17:20,524
May the Red Army

139
00:17:20,775 --> 00:17:23,125
Grip masterfully

140
00:17:23,276 --> 00:17:27,976
The bayonet with its rough hand!

141
00:17:28,077 --> 00:17:30,327
And we all have to

142
00:17:30,478 --> 00:17:32,628
Irrepressibly

143
00:17:32,879 --> 00:17:37,779
Enter the final mortal fight!

144
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,030
And we all have to

145
00:17:40,281 --> 00:17:42,631
Irrepressibly

146
00:17:42,732 --> 00:17:44,482
Enter the final

147
00:17:45,883 --> 00:17:47,433
mortal

148
00:17:48,334 --> 00:17:49,434
