[Smirnoff]

Katyusha is a female name. Katerina, Cat
Translation of this song:

Apple and pear trees were blooming
Mists floated over the river.
Katyusha came ashore,
On a high bank, on a steep one.

I went out, started the song
About the gray-gray steppe eagle,
About the one she loved
About the one whose letters she kept.

There is not a word about war in the words of this song. This song is about a girl waiting for her beloved boyfriend from the war home.
