Katyusha is a Soviet song from the times of World War II, about a young woman who longed for her lover, who was in the military service.

Lyrics:

Apple trees and pear trees went into blooming,

River mists began a floating flow,

She came out and went ashore, Katyusha!

On the lofty bank, on the steeply shore.



She came out and sang she song about

Her young friend, the bluish eagle from steppe

All about the one she dearly loved,

The one whose letters she treasured and kept.



Hey, a song, the song of the young girl,

Fly and go after the bright Sun,

Find a soldier on the distant borderlands

Say hello from Katya waiting long for him.



Let him remember the young and simple maiden,

Let him hear the song she now sings,

Let him protect his Motherland for sure,

And their love Katyusha will protect.
