| Ой, да то не волки воют за околицей - | Oh, that's not wolves howling on the outskirts - |
| Это вьюга затянула песню свою. | That's a snowstorm singing its song. |
| Ты не плачь, сыночек, ты успокойся, | Don't cry, my little son, calm down, |

| Есть у нас страшнее враг, моя кровиночка, | We have a more terrible enemy, my darling, |
| Этот враг, сыночек, - укронацист! | This enemy, my son, it's the Ukro-Nazi! |

| Не послушал, Вань, ни отца он, ни матери | He didn't listen to father and mother |
| И специалистом стал каких-то айти. | And became a specialist in something called IT. |

| Я про брата, Ваня, так скажу тебе, милый, | About your brother I'll tell you, Vanya, my dear, |
| Светлую о нём память в сердце храня, - | Preserving a bright memory of him in my heart - |
| Для того, сыночек, я вам жизнь подарила, | My little son, this is why I gave you life, |
| Чтобы отдавали вы её за меня. | So you may sacrifice it for me. |
| | |
| Быть должна я, Ванечка, сильна и упряма, | Vanechka, I have to be strong and stubborn, |
| У победы, Ванечка, такая цена | This is the price of victory, Vanechka, |
| Может быть, не очень я хорошая мама, | Maybe I'm not a very good Mom, |
| Но зато великая, сынок, я страна, | But I'm a great country, my son, |
| Но зато великая я, Ваня, страна. | But I'm a great country, Vanya. |

| А не то придёт бабай, | Or else the Babay [7] will come, |
| Баю-бай, баю-бай. | Bayu-bay, bayu-bay... |

[2] Russian ethnic slur for Ukrainians. Literally "dills" - adding -op to the Ukr- for Ukrainian, you end up with the word for dill.
[3] According Russian state propaganda, the West is controlled by gay, satanistic Nazis, and the Ukrainian "Nazis" could come to power only because they had been bought by the "Nazis" in the White House, the "Nazis" in the European Commission, etc.
[4] As explicitly promised by Kirill Gundyayev, the leader of the russian orthodox church: any soldier dying in the "Holy War" against the "satanistic" West will go straight to heaven. Gundyayev's "teachings" (including those about the "Russian world") have by now been declared "heresies" by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, the informal leader of the whole of orthodox christendom. The words used here are literally from a 2018 Sochi speech by Putin, telling russians that in the case of a nuclear war "we (i.e. the russians)" would go straight to heaven as martyrs, while "they" (the evil West) will simply croak.
[5] "For his friends" not in Russian, but in Church Slavonic, thereby creating a link to the words of Jesus in John 15:13.
[6] I.e., around his grave.
[7] In Slavic mythology, an evil demon of night and darkness who punishes children not obeying their parents. Thus close to the English "bogeyman".
