Чорнобиль форева [Chornobylʹ foreva] [English translation]

Do not break, do not saw, do not bring down

Tree branch, which you are sitting on.

Do not wait, do not keep silent - who won't speak,

Will get a trouble one day.

Do not litter and do not spit into the river -

You still will come there for water many times.

You live and will leave, so leave

After yourself at least some life.

Refrain:

Chornobyl1 - forever!

We do not need any more of such luck!

Chornobyl - forever!

Go away and rest in peace!

You think, consider, do not dig

the hole for yourself and for other people.

Boomerang will go and will be back every time.

Do not say that you did not hear about this!

Look down - there is no visible

ground behind our traces.

Look closely at the world,

Do not say you did not want this.

Refrain.
