Атаман [Ataman] [English translation]

Ugh, ataman, do not miss the mark

So that your hand would not hesitate accidentally

You, don’t charge your arms with blanks

And do not think of hangman’s noose

And then the night wouldn't come

And fields and forests would leave us

Heavens have stopped singing for us

And we will listen to the voices of the Earth

And then the day will come

Everybody will say they do not remember what happened

And we will walk under shepherd’s pipe

In a friendly herd for slaughter

God bore and ordered us - so bear

So, ataman, do not miss the mark

So that your hand would not hesitate accidentally

You, don’t charge your arms with blanks

And do not think of hangman’s noose
