Вы жертвою пали [Vy zhertvoyu pali] [English translation]

You fell victim into a fatal battle of selfless love for the people

You gave away all that you could for it, for its life, honor, and freedom

At times you languished in harsh prisons; their merciless judgement over you

The enemy-executioners already pronounced long ago and you went, rattling your shackles

The chains are hot with glowing searing rays they have clasped your flesh like snakes

And your warm blood is oozing on the ground from wounds engraved with chains

But you silently bear your fetters, you suffer for the cause of love

Because you cannot bear seeing ndifferent, how your brother dies in wretchedness

And the despot feasts in his luxurious palace, watering discontent with wine,

But menacing letters long ago upon the walls by the hand of fate have already been drawn

Arbitrariness will fall, and the people will rise: great, mighty, and free

Farewell to you, then, brothers; you passed with honor along your valorous noble path
