Translation of E. Evtushenko's poem

[elenka]

Dear colleagues:

Does any of you know if there's an English translation of Evtushenko's poem
"Khotiat li russkie voiny" (1961)? The poem was made into a song after some
changes. The song was performed by Mark Bernes.

Here's the text of the poem in Russian:

èïôñô  ìé  òõóóëéå  ÷ïêîù
