Transliterated lyrics:
Snitsya chasto mne moy dom rodnoy.
Les o chem to o svoyom mechtaet.
Seraya kukushka za rekoy,
Skol'ko zhit' ostalos' mne, schitayet.
Seraya kukushka za rekoy,
Skol'ko zhit' ostalos' mne, schitayet.

(Snitsya mne opushka iz cvetov.
V snah zabytyh tihaya opushka.
Vosem'desyat... Devyanosto... Sto...
Chto-to ty rasshhedrilas', kukushka.
Vosem'desyat... Devyanosto... Sto...
Chto-to ty rasshhedrilas', kukushka.)

Ya prizhalsya laskovo k cvetku,
Stebelek bagul'nika primyatyy.
I zvuchit lenivoe ku-ku,
Otmeryaya zhizni moey daty.
I zvuchit lenivoe ku-ku,
Otmeryaya zhizni moey daty.

ya toskuyu po rodnoy strane,
Po ee rassvetam i zakatam.
Na afganskoy vyzhzhennoy zemle
Spyat trevozhno russkie soldaty.
Na afganskoy vyzhzhennoy zemle
Spyat trevozhno russkie soldaty.

Oni tratyat sily, ne skupyas',
Im privychny holod i ustalost'.
Sil svoih ne kopyat pro zapas.
Tak skazhi-ka, skol'ko ih ostalos'...
Sil svoih ne kopyat pro zapas.
Tak skazhi-ka, skol'ko ih ostalos'...

Tak chto ty, kukushka, podozhdi
Mne davat' chuzhuyu dolyu ch'yu to.
U soldata vechnost' vperedi,
Ty eyo so starost'yu ne putay.
U soldata vechnost' vperedi,
Ty eyo so starost'yu ne putay.
