Skolot - Podnimi Glaza (Подними Глаза) Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

Lift up your eyes

We wandered off, we went astray,
Gave up trying, our souls dejected
Seeing no light along the way,
With dark unrest we were infected
And young and old take arms, and die,
Number of brave men ever falling,
Brother ‘gainst brother raising battle cry,
Betraying kinship’s age-old calling
 
Oh, lift up your eyes!
Dawn is near at hand!
Answer me! For you
Were born here in this land
How long will the dark
Drink its bloody fill?
How long will your heart
Be home to fear’s deep chill?
 
Ah, but our fathers were free, and they
Called us to rise, and no longer kneeling,
We shed the yoke that on us lay,
In their wise counsel we found healing
In heart and soul we joined as one
The force of concord comprehending -
Of another man’s land need we none!
Oh, may our borders know peace unending!
 
Oh, lift up your eyes!
Dawn is near at hand!
Answer me! For you
Were born here in this land
How long will the dark
Drink its bloody fill?
How long will your heart
Be home to fear’s deep chill?
 
Of blood and tears our Mother Earth
Has rivers seen descending,
She recalls the battle plains,
Sword in Livonian hand
But in spite of all her pains,
She proudly stood unbending
Now the time has come for you
To love and care for your native land!
 
Oh, lift up your eyes!
Dawn is near at hand!
Answer me! For you
Were born here in this land
How long will the dark
Drink its bloody fill?
How long will your heart
Be home to fear’s deep chill?
