My generation.

My generation grew in the darkness,
Now the darkness is also the light for it.
My generation grew on the border
With the iron curtain in the soul itself.
My generation is hiding in the shadow,
In the world of dreams, in the days that gone.
My generation plays and drinks,
Stays on its knees, does not love itself.
 
Buy dollars, sell rubles,
And then away from this land.
'We are free birds, it's time, my friend, it's time!'*
On tired wings to the south or to paradise.
My generation is sitting at the table,
Is sitting in prison and is sitting on the needle,**
It is sitting in office and loves to moan,
And one has to stand up and it is difficult to stand upright.
 
We, Belarusians, with brotherly Russia
Were looking for our roads to happiness.
In battles for freedom, in battles for a fortune
The way has won over us.
We are united, by nothing less than
By taking part in the stupid fight.
Glory to Kolas, glory to Kupala!***
But where is my place here beside you?
 
Remorse, suffering of soul.
My generation, my 'nostalgia'.
Your basements, your garages,
Scribbled walls, life on the edge.
 
As if very recently, as if a long time ago
coffee is cold and wine is finished.
My generation is waving its wing,
'Is pecking bloody food by the window.'*
 

Belarusian Way

I am a Belarusian, I love Belarus
I have hope and my faith
I am putting my hand on my heart,
I am a Belarusian, and it has been so for ages
 
Land from the mouth of the Dnieper to the the Bug,
We live here stress-free
Neighbors by our sides, we agree with them,
Glory to you, mild-natured people!
 
I am a Belarusian, Belarusian is my way,
Smoke over the fireplace, a roof on top of my house
It’s good, peaceful and calm in the morning,
Whoever says it's bad is lying
 
There's a stork dangling in the skies,
A bottle of water on the white tablecloth
We have a loaf of bread in our bag,
We will treat and break bread with everyone
 
I am a Belarusian, I don’t need others’ belongings,
I am looking at the sky with clear conscience.
I was born here and I will remain here,
I am proud of my Belarus!
