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