Несчастливая [Neschastlivaya] [English translation]

Chorus

So unfortunate and so innocent

So misunderstood, so unspoken

You don’t say a word, ever lenient

Why are you so sad and so broken?

Day by day, defenseless, you’re being slayed

Almost to the death beaten shamelessly

With the roaring sound of the tolling bells

Your obituaries bellowed baselessly

Generosity of the bound hands

Every scavenger had to peck at it

Watching hopelessness and indifference

Like handouts thrown beneath your feet

Chorus

So unfortunate and so innocent

So misunderstood, so unspoken

You don’t say a word, ever lenient

Why are you so sad and so broken?

Children have grown up into idiots

What they couldn’t burn, squandered quietly

Grabbing everything with their greedy teeth

Mother’s heart are tearing piece by piece

Naked bleeding wounds burning in the wind

Stitched without care or sympathy

Upside-down house is all but ruined

But you take it all with humility

Chorus

So unfortunate and so innocent

So misunderstood, so unspoken

You don’t say a word, ever lenient

Why are you so sad and so broken?

[Solo]

Through the agony of your death and birth

You have now seen almost everything

Burned by those whom you forgave the most

You're fed up with it. Had enough of this.

Sweeping graying hair off your tired face

Muster courage to weep from helplessness

So serene and faithful to very end

Russia, motherland
