Katyusha - Abney Park

Apple trees and pear trees were aflower

River mist was rising all around

Young Katyusha went strolling by the hour

On the steep banks

O’er the rocky ground

Oh, my song, my song of a maiden’s true love

To my dear one travel with the sun

To the one with whom Katusha knew love

Bring my greetings to him, to him one by one

By the riverbank she sang a love song

Of her hero in a distant land

Of the one she’d dearly loved for so long

Holding tight his letters in her hand

Let him know that I am true and faithful

Let him hear that love song that I send

Tell him as he defends our home that

True Katyusha our love will defend
