Ilovaisk Cauldron

Exhausting fatigue does not take the body,

no wonder the summer heat bothers my mind,

frustration, despair

a soldier’s foot passes through a minefield.

 

Tanks clatter, artillery rocks,

the enemy stopped, the invader rages,

no promotion of it

avenges brave warriors with a siege ring,

people call it «сauldron».

 

The earth is crying, the rains are pouring,

2000 sons of patriots of Ukraine

shot jackals for the dictator's amusement.

 

The heart burns, the tears choke,

bad stopped for 8 years

on February 24, the enemy entered the battle.
