Bratja (Brothers)

Forgive me, younger brother!
I am so guilty before you.
Trying to regain
What the earth took.

Who knows the law of being,
Help me find the answer.
I made a grave mistake,
There is no cure for death.

Dear mother! Tender!
We loved you so much.
But all our efforts
Were in vain.

You were seduced by a beautiful hope,
To return our family hearth.
My brother, I am guilty in everything.

Do not cry, do not be sad, older brother!
You are not the only one to blame.
We have one road,
We will atone for our sins to the end.

I have no one to blame but you.
I am not offended at all.
Heavy is our sin,
We must be stronger than all.

Dear mother! Tender!
We loved you so much.
But all our efforts
Were in vain.

I myself was seduced
By a beautiful hope
To return our family hearth.
I am guilty in everything.

But what can we do, how to be?
How to fix everything, forget?
Trying to regain
What the earth took.
