AND THE WIFE LEFT ME AFTER I GOT HIT BY A SECOND STRAY BULLET AND NOW I'M HAPPY TO BE ALIVE?

SUCH IS LIFE OF COSSACK. FIGHTING HEATHEN TURKS AND POLES ON EVERY FRONT.

SO DOES THE GUY DIE IN THE END? i DON'T UNDERSTAND. DOES HE BECOME DIRT AND GROUND?

GO COSSACKS! GO ATAMAN! WHAT A SPIRIT!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN:

"i REGRET LOSING MY FREEDOM, IN THE GREAT WIDE FIELD
I REGRET MY MOTHER'S LOSS, AND MY DUN HORSE"

"THROUGH MY HAIR BROWN, AND MY EYES BRIGHT
GRASS, WEED, AND WORMWOOD WILL GROW"

SO DOES THE LAST LINE MEAN HE DIES AND BECOMES DIRT?

"MY BONES ARE WHITE, MY HEART IS BOLD
VULTURES AND CROWS ON THE STEPPE WILL SPREAD"

WHAT DOES THIS PHRASE MEAN/

IT MEANS "FUCK DEM POLISH AND TURKISH CUNTS MANG GOD DAMN I AM DEAD AND THEY STOLE MY LIFE WHICH IS FREE AND MY HORSE WHICH WAS MY FREEDOM"
