Prosti myenia, mladshij brat!

Ia tak pryed toboj vinovat.

Puytatjsia vyernutj nyeljzia

Togo, chto vziala zyemlia.

Kto znayet zakon Buytiya,

Pomog buy mnye najti otvyet

Zhyestoko oshibsia ia:

Ot smyerti lyekarstva nyet.

Milaia mama! Nyezhnaia!

Muy tak lyeiubili tyebia.

No vsye nashi siluy

Potrachyenuy buyli zria.

Tyebia soblaznilia

Pryekrasnoy nadyezhdoy

Vyernutj nash syemyeynuyy ochag.

Moy brat, ia vo vsyom vinovat.

Nye plachj, nye pyechaljsia, starshiy brat!

Ne tuy odin vinovat.

Doroga u nas odna,

Iskupim vinu do dna.

Mnye nye v chyem tebia upryeknutj.

Iia nye obizhyen nichutj.

Tiazhyek, nash grekh

Khotyetj buytj siljnyee vsyekh.

Milaia mama! Nyezhnaia!

Muy tak lyeiubili tyebia.

No vsye nashi siluy

Potrachyenuy buyli zria.

Pryekrasnoy nadyezhdoy

Vyernutj nash syemyeynuyy ochag.

Iasam vo vsyom vinovat.

No chto zhye nam dyelatj, kak buytj?

Kak vsyo ispravitj, zabuyitj?

Puytatjcia vernytj neljzia,

Togo, chto vziala zyemlia.

translated

Forgive me, the younger brother!

I so pred you am guilty.

To try to return it is impossible

That the ground has taken.

Who knows the law of Life,

Would help me to find the answer.

Severely I was mistaken:

From death of a medicine is not present.

Lovely mum! Gentle!

We so loved you.

But all our forces/efforts

Have been spent in vain.

To be puzzled by our strong hope

Dream to return to our family .

My brother, I in all is guilty.

Do not cry, not despair, big brother!

Not you nor I is guilty.

It is dear at us one,

Let's expiate fault to the bottom.

I have nothing you to reproach

Beacsue it is not offended at all.

It is all our sin

To want to be the strongest.

Lovely mum! Gentle!

We so loved you.

But all our forces

Have been spent in vain.

To be puzzled by our strong hope

To return our family .

My brother, I in all is guilty.

But what to us to do how to be?

How all to correct, forget?

To try to return it is impossible

That the ground has taken.
