Sympathy Seeker

I haven't got anyone, except my motherland... yes!
I haven't got anyone, except the wind - my friend.
Oh, pray for me, an orphan, father(1)...
You pray for me, pray for me, yes, yes, yes...
 
Orphan of Kazan(2)!
Succeed in life to spite it all!
Grandfather died during the Civil war(3) -
he got lucky.
 
I haven't got anything, except my honour and my conscience.
I haven't got anything, except old grudges.
Oh, what's the point of suffering, it'll probably all work out.
Yes, I want to believe that, but my soul forbids me to.
 
Orphan of Kazan(2)!
Succeed in life to spite it all!
Grandfather died during the Civil war(3) -
he got lucky.
 
I haven't got anyone, and no one to bid myself to...
I haven't got anything, so there's no point to worry.
Oh, the sad sad sorrow rolls on the road.
And I'm not that man to tear my soul apart(4), yes, yes, yes...
 
Orphan of Kazan(2)!
Succeed in life to spite it all!
Grandfather died during the Civil war(3) -
he got lucky.
 
Orphan of Kazan, the night(5) is dark,
Orphan of Kazan, this poor country.
