It's a revolutionary song, and you can find couple of other versions of it on this site. It shouldnt be a problem to find the translation of the lyrics either. The traditional translation of the title to english is "The meadow song" if I am not mistaken.

Полюшко-поле

Музыка: Л. Книппер Слова: В. Гусев


Полюшко-поле,
Полюшко, широко поле!
Едут по полю герои,
Эх, да Красной Армии герои

Девушки, гляньте,
Гляньте на дорогу нашу
Вьется дальняя дорога,
Эх, да развеселая дорога

Девушки, гляньте,
Мы врага принять готовы,
Наши кони быстроноги,
Эх, да наши танки быстроходны

В небе за тучей
Грозные следят пилоты.
Быстро плавают подлодки,
Эх, да зорко смотрит Ворошилов

Пусть же в колхозе
Дружная кипит работа,
Мы - дозорные сегодня,
Эх, да мы сегодня часовые

Полюшко-поле,
Полюшко, зелено поле!
Едут по полю герои,
Эх, да Красной Армии герои!



1934



Once there were green fields patched by the sun

Something like that. In Russian поле - a 'field' - is though of as something big and vast, melancholy and belonging to Russia. Полюшко is also a field but in a deminitive form.

By the way, I think that David Bowie borrowed a little bit of it in his Velvet Goldmine :)
