Mikhail Boyarsky – Friendship Ballad (When Your Friend Is In The Blood) Lyrics Translation from D’Artagnan and Three Musketeers
Your fate hanging in the balance
Enemies are full of courage
But thank God there are friends
But thank God there are friends
And thank God friends have épées (swords)
[Chorus:]
When your friend is in the blood
À la guerre comma à la guerre (in war as in war)
When your friend is in the blood
Stay with him until the end
But don't call a friend
In war as in war
But don't call a friend
Don't call a friend someone who is a coward or a liar
And we are proud, and our enemies are proud
Hand forget laziness
Let's see who's and near which hessian boots
Let's see who's and near which hessian boots
Eventually bends their knees
[Chorus:]
When your friend is in the blood
In war as in war
When your friend is in the blood
Stay with him until the end
But don't call a friend
À la guerre comma à la guerre
But don't call a friend
Don't call a friend someone who is a coward or a liar
The enemy has fallen, I feel sorry for the poor fellow
But those insolent, I can't stand them
It doesn't take much time to hide the steel in the sheaths
It doesn't take much time to hide the steel in the sheaths
But you can't hide your proud in the sheaths
[Chorus:]
When your friend is in the blood
In war as in war
When your friend is in the blood
Stay with him until the end
But don't call a friend
À la guerre comma à la guerre
But don't call a friend
Don't call a friend someone who is a coward or a liar
Mikhail Boyarsky – Friendship Ballad Lyrics Original
На волоске судьба твоя
Враги полны отваги
Но слава Богу есть друзья
Но слава Богу есть друзья
И слава Богу у друзей есть шпаги
[Припев:]
Когда твой друг в крови
À la guerre comma à la guerre
Когда твой друг в крови
Будь рядом до конца
Но другом не зови
На войне, как на войне
Но другом не зови
Ни труса, ни лжеца
И мы горды, и враг наш горд
Рука забудь о лени
Посмотрим, кто у чьих ботфорт
Посмотрим, кто у чьих ботфорт
В конце-концов согнет свои колени
[Припев:]
Когда твой друг в крови
На войне, как на войне
Когда твой друг в крови
Будь рядом до конца
Но другом не зови
À la guerre comma à la guerre
Но другом не зови
Ни труса, ни лжеца
Противник пал, беднягу жаль
Но наглецы несносны
Недолго спрятать в ножны сталь
Недолго спрятать в ножны сталь
Но гордый нрав ей-ей не спрячешь в ножны
[Припев:]
Когда твой друг в крови
На войне, как на войне
Когда твой друг в крови
Будь рядом до конца
Но другом не зови
À la guerre comma à la guerre
Но другом не зови
Ни труса, ни лжеца
