[Verse 1] Goodbye, my darling! The buglers are sounding My friends at the doorway are waiting and counting The sorrow’s behind us, the bridges are down The roads of the civil war circle the town The roads of the civil war circle the town [Chorus] The stars will stay young The songs will stay young On bright, ringing strings In the songs, we’ll remain! [Verse 2] The diesel whistle blows — My darling, goodbye! My heart is still calling me out to the sky Where eagles are talking with wind on the plain To open, wild steppes, to the old hero’s reign To open, wild steppes, to the old hero’s reign [Chorus] The stars will stay young The songs will stay young On bright, ringing strings In the songs, we’ll remain!
