Почни з себе

Якщо вважав, що люди різні,
Життя - театр, а очі - призма,
Чому тоді радіє серце
Коли інше поруч б'ється?
 
Коли на колінах вже до Бога
Кричить душа, зірвавши голос.
А вже кінець, а як сказати:
Я ж твоя сестра, брате!
 
Де твоя душа, людство?
Ми всі забули, хто ми є,
Кожного любов іде в люстро
Так там і зникає.
 
Ну хто із нас не хотів змінити
Війну на мир, темінь на світло,
А що з себе треба починати
Ніхто і не хоче визнати.
 
Бо ми ж всі святі, такі всі чисті,
А правда має гіркий присмак
Коли чорне серце вже не чує
Брате, як тебе люблю я!
Це ж я!
 
Humanity please no more war
We have forgotten who we are
All our love goes into the mirror
And there disoved in the dark
 
Translation

Start with yourself

If you thought that people are different
and our life is like a theater, our eyes is like a prism
Why then one's heart becomes happy
Once an another heart beats next to it?
 
When soul is begging God on its knees
shouting so loud, and getting an abortive voice.
The End has come, but how to tell now:
I am you sister, oh, my brother!
 
Oh humankind, where is your soul now?
We have forgotten who we are
All our love goes into the mirror
And there disoved in the dark
 
Who would not like to change
a war to a peace, a darkness to a light
The thing that is no one wants to admit
that you should start with yourself
 
We're thinking we're so saint, we're so pure
But our truth has a bitter taste
It's when a heart of black doesn't hear:
"My brother, oh, how I love you!
It's me!"
 
Humanity please no more war
We have forgotten who we are
All our love goes into the mirror
And there disoved in the dark
