Some of the comments:
1)
“喀秋莎站在那俊俏的岸上，
歌声好像明媚的春光。“
---- @1980s-2010s
Translation:
Выходила на берег Катюша,
Katyusha set out on the banks,
На высокий берег на крутой.
On the steep and lofty bank.
Выходила, песню заводила
She was walking, singing a song
2)
“以前是不懂战时的音乐为什么会让人泪目，
后来我明白了，但凡有心之人，
都向往回到平凡但美好的日常。“
----@水果君
Translation:
"I didn't understand why the musics of wartime
always make people emotional until now,
we all yearn for a mundane and happy life."
