I suffered with You, Belarus, my beloved,
When a police baton *****
You at the police station,
In full drill.
I was there when they fired at You,
When they killed the helpless
On the street without mercy,
In envy, in anger.
I was when they beat with a baton,
When they hit the eyes with a baton
In the police torture
Or in the yard by the wall.
I was when they beat uncontrollably,
When the lying, despite wanting to
Prove his innocence,
Got the fifth stick in the bone.
I was when they took off the woman’s
******* and were pushing a baton there,
And in the man’s ****
It was being inserted - until the whine.
I was when they beat one in the forest,
The spirit still carries me there,
I saw hundreds lying in the alps,
I saw the dead in the halls.
Hospitals ...
It was the baton of Łuka,
Which *****,
Which killed,
Which beat,
Which knocked out teeth,
Which bruised,
It was the baton of Łuka.
The bullets were Łuka’s,
The hands were Łuka’s,
I give the large double doors back to Łuka:
Let you be rotten in a bad way.
The baton was Łuka’s.
It was the baton of Łuka.
The baton was Łuka’s.
It was the baton of Łuka.
You wronged a simple man,
And the walls will collapse anyway,
It's not balderdash,
Oh, you ignoramuses,
Oh, you ... stupid.
Oh you the bows! ...
Oh, you, Łuka (the Bow)!
