Когда окончится война [Kogda okonchitsya voyna] [English translation]

When the war is over

And a boy leaves shelter for bread

The Earth will be blessed with silence

As marvellous as the skies

And in this fragile silence

God will bind times and destinies

The constellations high above will freeze

And a voice will softly say

Mama, I'm back home

Mama, I'm back alive

God has promised us to remit full measure

When the war is over

When the war is over

When the war is over

And my people heal their wounds

The newly-born country

Will cast off the giant's relics

And life will turn out to be

What primarily matters

And like catchers in the rye

We'll turn out to have been fighting

Our own shadow.

Mama, I'm back home

Mama, I'm back alive

God has promised us to remit full measure

When the war is over

When the war is over

When the war ends up

With a unified belief in mercy

Love will stand out sole

As the ultimate religion for everyone

From times to times, bereft of love

On this tiny planet,

We've been not enemies at all

But little dumped children

Mama, I'm back home

Mama, I'm back alive

God has promised us to remit full measure

When the war is over

When the war is over

Mama, I'm back home

Mama, I'm back alive

God has promised us to remit full measure

When the war is over

When the war is over
