Complete English text in a version of poem from 1942 year:
Constantine Simonov - KILL HIM
If your house means a thing to you
Where you first dreamed your Russian dreams
In your swinging cradle, afloat
Beneath the log ceiling beams.
If your house means a thing to you
With its stove, corners, walls and floors
Worn smooth by the footsteps of three
Generations of ancestors.
If your small garden means a thing:
With its May blooms and bees humming low,
With its table your grandfather built
Neath the linden - a century ago.
If you don’t want a German to tread
The floor in your house and chance
To sit in your ancestors’ place
And destroy your yard’s trees and plants
If your mother is dear to you
