Черные дебри войны [Chernie debri voyni] [English translation]

Hey, Slavs!

Black thicket of war

Again has seized the sacred land.

The wrath of the outrageous wave

Has sown contemptible discord in souls.

There's no face

Of enemy's force.

Hundreds of souls

Sank into the graves!

Who live with the light will be torn apart!

Folk will be captured with the ban.

What is a guilt of children of reprisal

That won't see a daylight?

Where are our will, our force, our State?

Again we go away in the shadow

Fear and thirst for a dirty profit

Bring into nonexistence.

Our families sleep

In the blooded,

Enslaved land!

Here the essence of hopelessness

Corrupts the thought of days.

The splinters of death deprive

Life of your land!

Black thicket of war

Won't leave us in idyll of fear

Souls are full with hope

That we will quit the opaque ashes

We won't fall

Before a black face,

Will bring the call

To the ones resigned to war

Won't be melted

By death's lava

Will take revenge

For their violence!
