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
