Alyona Alyona — Коли ховають молодих (When The Young Are Buried) (English Translation)
[Intro]
They wanted wings, to live with them on earth
Straightened sails on their ship
Conquered peaks, direct hits on target
But life is an imprint of letters on the flour

[Verse 1]
They carry young wreaths, but we are not in Hawaii
And what was once said makes sense again
In the weeping eyes everything around freezes
They have reached heaven and now they are gone
They take with them the hopes and expectations of their mothers
And the expectant widow is waiting for someone in the yard
Seeing familiar steps, stepping on the threshold
To say something bad about them is a sin

[Pre-Chorus]
They would like to live more! (hey)
They wanted to live their lives in the crowds
Change the world with their ideas
We live on, but they are gone
Only the letters pressed into the stone contain a certain summary of that life
The image there is young, happy, full of energy, suddenly disappeared

[Chorus]
Give some air, give some water
When the young are buried
With a cry in the chest
The universe went silent
When the young are buried
Give some air, give some water
When the young are buried
With a cry in the chest
The universe went silent
When the young are buried
[Post-Chorus]
The young onces, the young onces
(The young onces, the young onces)
When the young are buried
(To live some more)
The young onces, the young onces
(Burried, burried)

[Verse 2]
All desires, dreams and hopes are in the hole
The branches on the family tree are withering
The lifeline has a spot at the end
I look up, have a glance
Another step, we are at crossroads
Let life like a book, and words like yeast
Grow and become villages and cities
A verbal dance for those who are not with us

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that we are pressed and buried
There will be a housewarming party
And let them do with us what they want
Because they don’t know that our bodies are seeds
I know that we are pressed and buried
There will be a housewarming party
And let them do with us what they want
Because they don’t know that our bodies are seeds
[Chorus]
Give some air, give some water
When the young are buried
With a cry in the chest
The universe went silent
When the young are buried
Give some air, give some water
When the young are buried
With a cry in the chest
The universe went silent
When the young are buried

[Outro]
(The young onces, the young onces)
The young are buried
When the young are buried
(The young onces, the young onces)
The young onces, the young onces
