No! People will not forget the fighting,
When falling beneath the whistling lead
You saw above you
The beloved oval of her face.

As the lips will not forget the moisture,
When having collected his last reserves of strength
The soldier raised himself up and avidly drank
His salvation from this life-saving flask.

They will not forget the oversized
Grey service coat, or her blue eyes.
No, no! Nurses, sisters of soldiers’ glory,
Russia will not forget you!
