English Lyrics

The fire is flickering in the narrow stove

Resin oozes from the log like a tear

And the concertina in the bunker

Sings to me of your smile and eyes.

The bushes whispered to me about you

In a snow-white field near Moscow

I want you above all to hear

How sad my living voice is.

You are now very far away

Expanses of snow lie between us

It is so hard for me to come to you

And here there are four steps to death.

Sing concertina, in defiance of the snowstorm.

Call out to that happiness which has lost its way.

I'm warm in the cold bunker,

Because of your inextinguishable love.

(Stalingrad by Antony Beevor (c)1998.

Popular culture

The entire poem was mentioned in the 2005 Canadian historical novel, Four Steps to Death, by John Wilson, in which Red Army soldiers sing it on the way from Moscow to Stalingrad (present-day Volgograd). The title of the novel is derived from a line of the poem, "And here there are four steps to death."

The song is part of the repertoire of the Alexandrov Ensemble.
