[Verse 1]
V nochi, gde smolknul les,
Ya slyshu imya tvoe.
Na kamne chernyy kres,
Na lbu u menya ogon'.
Sul de zhizn' — v moey krovi,
Sul de dush — v moey ruke.
Ya nesu tvoi staryy znak,
Kak ten' na raznom meste.
[Pre-Chorus]
I kogda vetra krichat,
Ya ne otdam ego.
Pust' tma govorit za nas,
My sverkh zemli odno.
[Chorus]
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Moya krov' khran it znak,
Moya krov' ne speshit v zad.
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Poddannye derzhat svet,
Kogda mir idet na kholod.
[Verse 2]
Vremenami zvezdnyy peshchur,
Tishina sadytsya nizko.
Tsar' stoit, kak kamennyy krug,
A v glazakh yego — iskry list'.
Material'nyy oblik v temi,
Dukhom khranitsya narod.
I kogda podnimetsya shum,
On vedet ikh v chernyy khod.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ne dlya slavy, ne dlya slov,
Ne dlya zlata i koron.
Tam, gde plachet zhenskiy volk,
My derzhim odin zakon.
[Chorus]
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Moya krov' khran it znak,
Moya krov' ne speshit v zad.
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Poddannye derzhat svet,
Kogda mir idet na kholod.
[Bridge]
Ya slyshu shorokh zhertv,
Ya pomnyu ikh imená.
No v sumrake etikh derzhav
Zhivet ne tol'ko t'ma.
Pust' drevniy veter paidet,
Pust' razvernetsya trava.
Ya vyzovu ikh iz vody,
I krov' skazhet: "Ya zhiva."
[Final Chorus]
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Moya krov' khran it znak,
Moya krov' ne speshit v zad.
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Sul de znamia, evo-vo!
Poddannye derzhat svet,
Kogda mir idet na kholod.
