Країна Дітей [Okean Elzy version] [Krayina Ditey] [English translation]

So much sadness, so much hassle

And you can't take another step

And your heart stops when counting all the lives lost

We desperately need more good news

In the country where too many kids

Know the meaning of life and the price of death

The bird cage is too small

And spring comes to us way too easily

And the time stops with the morning tide

What's left for us are happiness and laughter

To love is to live for everyone

To believe is to be able to take a lead

Bridges keep burning and walls keep coming up

But what keeps them standing

Are the kids who have grown through the country's sky

The kids who have become the extension of our language

The country that doesn't hold grudge

The country that has always been here

The country with recurring rains

The country in our poems

The country is larger than any evil

Love it for everything that's passed

Love it for every single sunrise

I have a few questions, though

What's holding us here?

There is so few of us left here

The stars are shining so brightly

They are kids coming back

The kids are coming back to their homes

It's us who came here to stay, it's us

And our home is full of voices and guests

The country of kids is breathing quietly

Bridges keep burning and walls keep coming up

But what keeps them standing

Are the kids who have grown through the country's sky

The kids who have become the extension of our language

(lyrics by alyona alyona):

How much more suffering should they endure

To be welcomed anywhere they go

And who should they become for everyone to understand

Why the noise in our head, why black is no longer white

There's fire in our hearts, fire in our eyes, fire

Outside, fire

All is alien around us

How many cranes are looking for home in the spring

How many souls did they take into oblivion in the fall

What is life, what's its price

Tears have dried out, it's just rain pouring down the face

It might wash away all the dirt, all the ash

But it won't wash away the history from the young face.
