Can't get this tune out of my head

"Our care is simple, it is this:
That our homeland should live;
And that's all.
Refrain: And snow, and wind,
And the stars in their nightly courses..
My heart calls me
Into the unquiet distance.
Let you and me together
Face misfortune after misfortune;
Only death can take away our friendship.
Refrain.
As long as I can walk,
As long as I can see,
As long as I can breathe,
I will go forward.
Refrain
And also, as in every life,
You will meet love once;
With you, as courageously
She will go through the storm.
Refrain
Don't think all the songs have been sung,
Or all the storms are done thundering;
Prepare yourself for a great goal
And glory will find you.
And snow, and wind,
And the stars in their nightly courses..
My heart calls me
Into the unquiet distance."
Music: Alexandra Pakhmutova; Words: Lev Oshanin; Performance: Yuri Gulyaev;
From the movie "On That Side" ("По ту сторону"), 1958.
There are several other renditions elsenet, including one by two Japanese guys dressed in WWII-era Soviet uniforms, and another by a German heavy metal group, Rammstein.
