Here is a rough translation (my russian is not so good these days)... at least from what i could make of it. I think it is a song for rememberance. In this case "davai za ..." probably means "let's toast/salute for" (during drinking i believe)
---------------------------------------------------
The sky is covered with grey thunder clouds,
Nerves are taunt like guitar strings
The rain is drumming from morning until evening
Time seems to be frozen forever
We are advancing in all directions
Tanks, infantry, artillery fire
We are being killed but we are surviving
And we once again throw ourselves into the attack
Lets <something>, lets until the end, my brother
Lets for those that were with us then
Lets <something> curse the war
But I <something something> was with us
Sky above us with lead thunder clouds
Covering the bottom with ragged fog (I hear what he says, but I cant make sense of it)
Want to believe that all is over
If only the wounded comrade will survive
Hang on, my brother, dont die yet
You will live long and happy yet
We will dance at your wedding
You will <something something>
Hang on to your life until the end, brother
Lets for those that are waiting at home for you
Lets <something> curse the war
Lets for them, lets for us
And for Siberia and Caucasus
For distant lighted small city
And for friends and for love
Lets for you, lets for us
And for <something> and for <something>
For military medals
And for <something> lets raise <something>
In the old album I found a photograph
<too difficult to hear
something about red army commander>
Smell of grass at dawn
Your very close on much of it
Давай зa
can mean a few things, A toast to, Give to, or Come to.
It is what it is....
Here is the literal translation, Some words are rough to translate to english and do not really have an english equivalent. Like Davai ja.....

Война и на и най най най най на
War and found and found found found at
Война и на и най най най най на
War and found and found found found at
Война и на и най най най най на
War and found and found found found at
Серыми тучами небо затянуто,
Gray overcast sky prolonged,
Нервы гитарной струною оттянуты,
Nerves guitar strunoyu delay,
Дождь барабанит с утра и до вечера,
Regen drum morning till evening,
Время застывшее кажется вечностью.
Time seems frozen eternity.
Мы наступаем по всем направлениям
We shall in all directions
Танки, пехота, огонь артиллерии
Tanks, infantry, artillery fire
Нас убивают, но мы выживаем
We kill, but we survive
И снова в атаку, себя мы бросаем
And again in the attack itself, we brosaem
Припев:
Chorus:
Давай за жизнь, давай брат до конца
Come to life, let's brother until the end
Давай за тех, кто с нами был тогда
Let those who were with us then
Давай за жизнь, будь проклята война
Come for life, be cursed war
Помянем тех, кто с нами был тогда
Pomyanem those who were with us then
Небо над нами - свинцовыми тучами,
The sky above us - leaden clouds,
Стелится низко туманами рваными,
Trail low mists ragged,
Хочется верить, что все уже кончилось
I want to believe that everything is already over
Только бы выжил товарищ раненый
Just to survive a wounded comrade
Ты потерпи, браток, не умирай пока
You tolerate, (Hang on) bratok (Brother) not died yet
Будешь ты жить еще долго и счастливо
Thou shalt live long and happy
Будем на свадьбе твоей мы отплясывать
We will be at your wedding, we otplyasyvat (Servicemen)
Будешь ты в небо детишек подбрасывать
Shalt thou in heaven kids toss
Припев:
Chorus:
Давай за жизнь, давай брат до конца
Come to life, let's brother until the end
Давай за тех, кто дома ждет тебя
Come for those at home waiting for you
Давай за жизнь, будь проклята война
Come for life, be cursed war
Давай за тех, кто дома ждет тебя
Come for those at home waiting for you
Давай за них, давай за нас
Go for it, come for us
И за Сибирь, и за Кавказ
And in Siberia and the Caucasus
За свет далеких городов
In the light of distant cities
И за друзей, и за любовь
And for friends and for love
Давай за вас, давай за нас,
Let's for you, come for us
И за Десант, и за Спецназ,
And Desant (Paras), and the Spetsnaz,
За боевые ордена,
During the battle orders,
Давай поднимим, старина.
Let's raise, old chap.
В старом альбоме, нашел фотографию
In an old album, found the photo
Деда, он был командир красной армии:
Father, he was commander of the Red Army:
«Сыну на память, Берлин 45-го»,
«Son, memory, Berlin 45 th»,
Века ушедшего воспоминания,
Ages past memories,
Запах травы на рассвете, не скошенной,
The smell of grass at dawn, do not chamfer,
Стоны земли от бомежек, распаханной,
Ston land from bomezhek, broke,
Пара солдатских ботинок, истоптанных,
A pair of Soldiers' boots, istoptannyh,
Войнами новыми, войнами старыми.
New wars, wars of old.
Припев:
Chorus:
Давай за жизнь...
Come to life ...
Давай за тех...
Come for those ...
Давай за жизнь...
Come to life ...
Давай помянем тех, кто с нами был...
Come pomyanem those who have been with us ...

There are other versions of the song as well And Lube seems to change it here and there when they
Preform it live.
