Soldier (Солдат)

Video of English translation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WH6NckqRWE

(A soldier)
No sleep five years, and I’ve got two bags under my eyes
I haven’t seen them but they told me it’s true
(A soldier)
And I do not have no skull
It was beat out of me with some boots
Yo yo yo – commander screams
A torn-mouthed battallion commander
All because a grenade
Cotton of white, cotton of scarlet
Does not heal a soldier

(A soldier)
Premature infant birthed by the war
(A soldier)
Mama, won’t you heal all my wounds
(A soldier)
Son of the nation that God forgot
(A hero)
Please tell me of what forsaken book?

(A soldier)
I feel sad when there’s a single bullet in here
Will it be for me or for him
The last train car
Moonshine we drink
There’s a million here
In the UN
(A soldier)
And I know my duty clearly –
My duty to shoot
So the bullet will enter my foe
So this reggae is for you, mama war, tell me please are you happy now?

(A soldier)
Premature infant birthed by the war
(A soldier)
Mama, won’t you heal all my wounds
(A soldier)
Son of nation forgotten by God
(A hero)
Please tell me of what forsaken book?

I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier
Soldier
