Smuglyanka (”The Swarthy Girl”, Rus. “Смуглянка”) is a Russian war song written in 1940 by Shvedov and Novicov. It became so popular that was often considered a folk song. Here it is performed in the classic 1973 film Only Old Men Are Going to Battle (Rus. ”В бой идут одни «старики»”).

P.S. Personally, this is one of my favourite war songs. I even sometimes sing it when nobody is around.
