- Translation
- The German tanks were coming down the glade. / They could not see the gun behind the hill. / The gun was sterling Soviet. / They were thirty, it was - One / This single gun destroyed tanks wonderfully - / From the front, the sides, and from behind. / Fourteen tanks were thus blown up. / The sixteen left retreated. / That was a feat, what a feat! / The opposing forces were clearly uneven: / The German tanks a force without number, / They were thirty, it was - One. / That gun disposed of a whole force of tanks, / Because it was strong with angry strength: / Manned by seven fearless men / Under the command of Lieutenant Ilya Shuklin. / AN EIGHTSOME OF HEROES AND A GUN BEHIND A HILL / TURNED THE ENEMIES ADVANCE INTO RETREAT, / BECAUSE THAT HEROIC EIGHTSOME / HAD THE WHOLE HEROIC SOVIET PEOPLE BEHIND THEM.
