Lyrics:

The mud is wrapped all over the trouser legs, and the back of the clothes is soaked with sweat.

I don’t know who you are, but I know who you are for.

For whom, for the autumn harvest.

In order for the wild geese to return in spring, we sang with passion about youth without regrets.

Looking to the end of the world, you don’t know when your comrades will tell you who you are and for whom.

My comrade, when will you return? Who are you?

For whom, my brothers and sisters do not shed tears.

Who is the most beautiful and who is the most tired, my fellow countrymen and my comrades-in-arms.

My brothers and sisters, their trouser legs are covered in mud.

The back of your clothes is soaked with sweat, I don’t know who you are.

But I know who you are for and who you are for.

For the harvest of autumn and the return of wild geese in spring.

Singing with passion about youth without regrets, looking to the end of the world and not knowing when the comrades will return.

Who are you for? My comrade, when will you return?

Who are you for? My brothers and sisters will not shed tears.

Who is the most beautiful and who is the most tired, my fellow countrymen and my comrades-in-arms.

My brothers, sisters, sisters.
