Thread: советские военные песни

P.S. Here's the original припев in English:

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer!
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer!
Though there's one motor gone
We can still carry on
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer!

Here's the Russian translation:

Мы летим, ковыляя во мгле,
Мы ползем на последнем крыле.
Бак пробит, хвост горит,
И машина летит
На честном слове и на одном крыле.

And here's my back-translation:

We're flying, limping through the hazy gloom,
We're crawling on our last wing,
The fuel-tank is leaking, the tail is on fire,
And the plane is flying
On hope alone, with just one wing!
