I see a bright glow in distance
There it burns, the fire of earth
It had born its children and since
Cares them, keeps them and preserves
Our brotherhood is various:
Belorus, Sloven and Ros
We had lived together in peace
Guarding our paternal homes
But the bone of contention
Fell among us. Love is gone
We forgot eternal friendship
Ancient rules... away they've flown
We have cut our land in pieces
Like a tailor with his scissors
Living in hate and discord
Revering our brethren not
But the same sun lights our way
That lit, when we were together
The Slavs shall live once again
All in peace and love... forever
