Текст песни Артур Лакрба - Абхазия

How many tears have you shed
In the somber silence of the empty night?
How many sorrows have you endured?
All this is known to you alone.
And in your memory—alas!—
Lies only grief, turmoil, filth, and deceit.
You laid bare your soul in love,
Yet they tore it apart, my dearest.
But still, you remain silent;
You love them, and you believe in them.

You stand naked, my Mother;
They tear you limb from limb.
You are brought to your knees, my Love—
Yet you do not bow your head.

Day after day, you awaited this hour—
The very hour that is yours today.
Giving your all for our sake,
You waited for love and fidelity in return.
For the sake of freedom—for your Apsny—
Your finest sons have perished.
You weep, my Mother; you shed your tears—
Yet you cannot bring them back to you.
But still, you remain silent;
You believe in them, and you wait for them.

You stand naked, my Mother;
They tear you limb from limb.
You have risen from your knees, Abkhazia—
Yet you stand on the very threshold of lies.
Oh, uarada uri-i-ida ara, oh, uarado uara...

You stand naked, my Mother;
They tear you limb from limb.
And now—at last—you are free,
My beloved Apsny.
