TACHANKA!
Thundering hoofs - blasting through in raging flight
Roaring machine guns fire - brightens up the impending night
Bird, fly from the road, and quickly! - Better Hurry or you're dead!
See that dust cloud coming thickly! - Horses charging far ahead!
Dauntless, Fearless
Over the steppe - so wild and so free
Frothing jaws - snapping at our heel
Shunned like the plague - hunted like wolves
Tachanka - the answer to our need
Four-wheeled saviour - horse-drawn redeemer
Machine gun cart from Gulyai-Polye
Dauntless - Fearless
Lawless - Merciless
The frustration and degradation - Of living a life on our knees
Persuaded us to take up arms - Against our enemies
Bat'ko Makhno leads our way,
On horses back the Kulak as prey
Bird, fly from the road, and quickly! - Better Hurry or you're dead!
See that dust cloud coming thickly! - Horses charging far ahead!
