Greetings, friends! Friday evening,
Near Bialystok, a national gathering:
Long live Belarus! Putin kaput!
We are Belarusians and we are — here!
Haven't seen many since 2020,
Finally free, together with the people.
And though they broke our bones in prison,
We are Belarusians and we exist!
They banned three Belarusian shops,
Following the points of a punitive program,
We'll open ten and keep buying:
We are Belarusians and you won't get us!
They arrested a priest from Pruzhany,
Scaring parishioners in Brest…
How will we answer them, comrades?
We'll come together to pray in our language!
They banned a hundred Belarusian books,
How will we answer the Kremlin profiteers?
We'll write two thousand more —
They'll get tired of banning in Moscow!
Noses up and no more whining!
For Belarus — without Lukashenkos!
We are not afraid of enemy roars —
We are Belarusians and we will win!
