The title of this movement translates as “In the Store.” The text pays tribute to the women of the Soviet Union, who stoically endured all the hardships of World War II.
[BASS]
Kto v platke, a kto v platochke
Kak na podvig, kak na trud
V magazin poodinochke
Molcha zehnshchiny idut
[Chorus]
O, bidonov ikh bryatsanye
Zvon butylok i kastryul
Pakhnet lukom, ogurtsami
Pakhnet sousom Kabul
[BASS]
Zyabnu, dolgo v kassu stoya
No pokuda dvizhus k nei
Ot dykhanya zhenshchin stolkikh
V magazine vsyo teplei
[ENSEMBLE]
Oni tikho podzhidayut
Bogi dobryye semi
I v rukakh oni szhimayut
Dengi trudnyye svoi
[BASS]
Eto zhenshchiny Rossii
Eto nasha chest i sud
I beton oni mesili
I pakhali, i kosili
[ENSEMBLE]
Vsyo oni perenosili
Vsyo oni perenesut
[BASS]
Vsyo na svete im posilno
Skolko sily im dano
[ENSEMBLE]
Ikh obschityvat postydno
Ikh obveshivat greshno
[BASS]
I, v karman pelmeni sunuv
Ya smotryu, surov i tikh
Na ustalyye ot sumok
Ruki pravednyye ikh
