Well come on all of you Russian men,
Uncle Vlad needs your help again,
He got himself in a terrible pain,
Way down yonder in Ukraine,
Come on, sign up a contract and pick up AK
let's make Russia great again!

And its raz-dva-tri what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me if we get slain,
The next stop is in Ukraine,
And its pyat-shest-sem open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
WHOOPEE we're all gonna die

Well come on you oligarchs, what you need to do,
Even when the whole world sanctions you
There's plenty good money to be made,
By stealing the army from the tools of the trade,
Just don't embezzle too much or from wrong ones
the boys too need their food and guns

And its raz-dva-tri what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me if we get slain,
The next stop is in Ukraine,
And its pyat-shest-sem open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to play too brave,
we'll end up in a nameless grave!

Well come on generals let's move fast,
Your big chance is come at last,
Gotta get promotions and rise up high,
Command of a brigade is now in sight
But just shut you smartphone and mind your head
or a sniper will shoot you dead!

And its raz-dva-tri what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me if we get slain,
The next stop is in Ukraine,
And its pyat-shest-sem open up the pearly gates,
Well there is a future which really sucks,
we'll end up in a wooden box

Well come on mothers across domain,
Pack your boys off to Ukraine,
Come on fathers don't hesitate,
Send your sons off before its too late,
Like Afghanistan, it's now your turn,
To have your boy come home in an urn

And its raz-dva-tri what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me if we get slain,
The next stop is in Ukraine,
And its pyat-shest-sem open up the pearly gates,
don't ask too much cause you'll end up soon
in a mobile crematorium
