Wait for me, I'll be back.
Wait for me, I'll be back.
You just have to wait hard.
Wait until the gloomy rain.
Arouse your sadness
Wait until it snows heavily
Wait until the heat is unbearable
Wait until others stop expecting their loved ones.
All the past
Put aside all my thoughts.
Wait until the distant hometown
No more letters from home.
be utterly disheartened
All tired.
Wait for me, I'll be back.
Don't bless those people.
They keep saying.
Forget it.
It's no use waiting.
Although Aiko and loving mother think
I am no longer alive.
Even if friends are tired of waiting.
Around the fire
Sip bitter wine
Remember the dead
You must wait.
Don't be too busy carrying wine lamps with them.
Wait for me, I'll be back.
Death has been defeated by me again and again.
Let the people who didn't wait for me
Say I'm lucky
Attack by surprise
People who don't wait won't understand.
Thank you for waiting so hard.
On the battlefield of gunfire.
You saved my life.
How did I survive?
Only you and I understand.
Just because you are different from others.
You are good at waiting.
background
"Wait for Me" was written in the early days of the Soviet Patriotic War. 1942 65438+ In October, many writers and musicians planned to retreat to the rear area and stay in Moscow Hotel. Simonov gave his poem to the composer M. Blanchard, who was moved by it and then set it to music.
At that time, the Soviet Union was facing the attack of the German fascist army, and the country was in a difficult situation. This poem describes the soldier's hope and his wife's unfailing love and belief for her husband. Once published, it was copied and plagiarized, which greatly encouraged the soldiers. Some soldiers specially copied this poem in their letters and gave it to their wives. A soldier wrote to simonov after the war, saying, "Your poems and the deep love you expressed in your poems supported us through the war years."
After the war, simonov wrote a full-length play with this poem as the theme, and the director Golcea Foucault specifically requested that the play keep "Wait for Me" composed by blanchard.
