Prosti menya mladshiy brat
Ya tak pred toboy vinovat
Pytatsa vernut' nel'zya
Togo shto vzyala zemlya
Kto znayet zakon bytiya
Pomog by mne nayti otvet
Zshestoko oshibsya ya
Ot smerti lekarstva net
Milaya mama nezshnaya
My tak lyubili tebya
No vse nashi sily
Potracheny byli zrya
Tebya soblaznil ya
Prekrasnoy nadezshdoy
Vernut'nash semeynyi ochag
Moy brat ya vo vsyem vinovat
Ne plach ne pechal'sya starshiy brat
Ne ty odin vinovat
Doroga u nas odna
Iskupit' vinu do dna
Mne ne v chem tebya upreknut'
I ya ne obizshen nichut'
Tyazshek nash grekh
Hotet' byt' sil'neye vsekh
Milaya mama nezshnaya
My tak lyubili tebya
No vse nashi sily
Potracheny byli zrya
Ya sam soblaznilsya
Prekrasnoy nadezshdoy
Vernut'nash semeynyi ochag
Ya sam vo vsyom vinovat
No chto zshe podelat' kak byt'
Kak vsyo ispravit' zabyt'
Pytatsa vernut' nelzya
Togo shto vzyala zemlya

How can I repay you, brother mine?
How can I expect you to forgive?
Clinging to the past, I shed our blood.
And shattered your chance to live.
Though I knew the laws, I paid no heed.
How can I return your wasted breath?
What I did not know has cost you dear,
For there is no cure for death.
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet,
Once you were gone we were not complete.
Back through the years we reached for you,
Alas 'twas not meant to be.
And how can I make amends?
For all that I took from you?
I led you with hopeless dreams,
My brother, I was a fool.
Don't cry for the past now, brother mine.
Neither you nor I are free from blame.
Nothing can erase the things we did,
For the path we took was the same.
Beautiful mother, soft and sweet,
Once you were gone we were not complete.
Back through the years we reached for you,
Alas 'twas not meant to be.
My dreams made me blind and mute.
I long to return to that time.
I followed without a word,
My brother the fault is mine.
So where do we go from here?
And how to forget and forgive?
What's gone is forever lost.
Now all we can do is live.
