The Call Up

call-up: 
призыв на военную службу

It's up to you not to heed (обращать внимание)  the call-up
'N' you must not act the way you were brought up (был воспитан)
Who knows the reasons why you have grown up (повзрослел)?
Who knows the plans or why they were drawn up (останавливаться, выстраиваться (о войсках))?

It's up to you not to heed the call-up
I don't wanna die!
It's up to you not to hear the call-up
I don't wanna kill!

For he who will die
Is he who will kill

Maybe I wanna see the wheatfields (пшеничные поля)
Over Kiev and down to the sea

All the young people down the ages
They gladly marched off to die
Proud city fathers used to watch them
Tears in their eyes

There is a rose that I want to live for
Although, God knows, I may not have met her
There is a dance an' I should be with her
There is a town - unlike any other

It's up to you not to hear the call-up
'N' you must not act the way you were brought up
Who give you work an' why should you do it?
At fifty five minutes past eleven
There is a rose...
Yea

It's up to you no to hear the call up
It's up to you not to hear the call up
I don't wanna die
There is a rose, that I want to live for
It's up to you not to hear the call up.
