[Older soldier playing German melody]
[in Russian]
Baby, I miss you, I miss you
But I haven't received any letters from you
You are far away but you don't miss me
So I will come back and teach you a lesson!

Baby, I never forget
Hitler was destroyed, and so my Mercedes
I think you are not my little baby anymore
Come back to me, hurry up, piggy, my love
Baby, I never forget
Hitler was destroyed, and so my Mercedes
I think you are not my little baby anymore
Come back to me, hurry up, piggy, my love

- Yes, yes, of course
- a good boy
- Yeah, this is good

My partisan,
I work, korefan [my friend - Russian slang]
Drinking, drinking, eggs, chicken, milk, good! [Jaika, Kurka, Mleko - mispronounced but now canonical Russian words, used by German soldiers, robbing Russian civilians]
bitte dritte frau madam, I'll give you a lesson [In Russian, line from the popular Russian operetta "Marriage in Malinovka" by Boris Alexandrov (1937)]
Good morning, don't shoot, cigarette,

I think you are not my little baby anymore
Come back to me, hurry up, piggy, my love
Come back

Come back, come back, piggy, my love
Good boy
Don't shoot
