Fight! The new dawn burns the (eastern) sky And canons roar upon the hills The purple smoke is (twisting) high Toward the rose empyreans! To make a tryst with (morning's) rays The regiments are closing ranks The marksmen fill the (scattered) brush The shot is flying, bullets slash! Bullets slash! The cavalry is charging The infantry is charging too Endeavoring to fortify The cavalry with steadfast ranks Steadfast ranks! The field of fatal battle thunders Illuminated by the flames The glory of their banners darkens And by the grace of God, each step We take across the field is blessed Then Peter's sonorous, inspired Voice rose above the battle, westward Emerged, surrounded by a crowd "В бой!" The battle flames. Through martial dust He flies, his eyes attentive, sly The scorching glow of noon recasts The cannons blow and bullets fly Within the smoke amid the plains The battle of Poltava thundered! In flames, beset by burning hail The skies affright, forever sundered And over fallen ranks Close in with bayonets Grave clouds The cavalry detachments fly Their bridles, sabers ring Collide and hack and sing The corpses pile on heaps of corpses all around Them, leaping, striking, scattering Dust, hissing in the pools of blood The Swedes and Russians - chop, hack, cut But Victory is ours and wrought!
