Prosti menya, mladshiy brat!
Ya tak pred toboy vinovat
Pyitatsya vernut' nyelzya
Togo, chto vzyala zyemlya

Kto znayet zakon Byitiya,
Pomog byi mne nayti otvet
Zhestoko oshibsya ya;
Ot smerti lekarstva nyet

Milaya mama! Nyezhnaya!
Myi tak lyubili tebya
No vse nashi silyi
Potrachenyi byili zrya

Tebya soblaznil ya
Prekrasnoy nadezhdoy
Vernut' nash semeynyiy ochag
Moy brat, ya vo vsem vinovat

Nye plach', nye pechal'sya, starshiy brat!
Nye tyi odin vinovat
Doroga u nas odna,
Iskupim vinu do dna

Mnye nye v chem tebya upreknut'
I ya nye obihen nichut'
Tyazhek, nash gryekh
Khotet' byit' silneye vsekh

Milaya mama! Nyezhnaya!
Myi tak lyubili tebya
No vse nashi silyi
Potrachenyi byili zrya

Ya sam soblaznilsya
Prekprasnoy nadezhdoy
Vernut' nash semeinyiy ochag
Ya sam vo vsem vinovat

No chto zhe nam delat', kak byit'?
Kak vse ispravit', zyabyit'?
Pyitat'sya vernut' nyel'zhya,
Togo, chto vzyala zyemlya

[English Translation:]

Forgive me, little brother
I am so sorry before you
It's forbidden to try to return
One taken by the earth

The one who knows the law of existence
Could help me to find the answer
I was very mistaken
There's no cure for death

Dear Mom, sweet Mom!
We loved you so much
But all our efforts
Unfortunately were in vain

I tempted you
With the wonderful hope
Of returning our home
My brother, it's all my fault

Don't cry, don't be sad, big brother
You're not the only guilty one
There's only one road before us,
We will purge our sins completely

I cannot blame you,
I am not hurt at all
Well, we sinned
By wanting to be stronger than everyone else

Dear Mom, sweet Mom!
We loved you so much
But all our efforts
Unfortunately were in vain

I was tempted
With the wonderful hope
Of returning our home
I'm guilty for all of it

But what should we do, how should we be?
How to fix everything, to forget?
It's forbidden to try to return
One taken by the earth
