How the Steel Was Tempered

The ending song to the movie How the Steel Was Tempered, based on a novel of the same name

"It is the life story of a young Ukranian born in czarist times
who embraces the Russian Revolution and the communist cause. Set against the backdrop of this supremely difficult and hopeful period in history, it shows how a broad revolutionary struggle can aid one individual to make a contribution in spite of many personal limitations and setbacks."




Lyric:
Lights are illuminated in the riverbank afar
Afterglow disappears in such a fine night sky
Mounting on battle horses, with long rifles on their back
The young Budyonnian soldiers readily depart
Mounting on battle horses, with long rifles on their back
The young Budyonnian soldiers readily depart
On the vast wilderness is only stillness
The soldiers search for enemies vigilantly
In the darkness flash the bayonets
They have fallen into an ambush
The brave spirits shout as they charged towards the enemy ranks
A life-and-death struggle has begun on the grassland
A soldier rolls down his horse after being shot
He has bravely sacrificed himself for the people
