Let the sun rise

And give the morning light,

The purest prayer

Will not bring us back.

 

He whose candle was blown out

And was buried in the dust,

A bitter cry won't wake him

Won't bring him back.

 

Nobody will return us

drom the dead dark pit

Here - neither the victory cheer

Nor songs of praise will help.

 

So sing only a song for peace,

Do not whisper a prayer.

Better sing a song for peace

With a big shout.

 

Let the sun penetrate

Through the flowers,

Don't look backward

Leave those who departed.

 

Lift your eyes with hope,

Not through the rifle sights.

Sing a song for love,

And not for wars.

 

Don't say the day will come,

Bring the day

Because it is not a dream,

And within all the city's squares,

Cheer only peace.

 

So sing only a song for peace,

Do not whisper a prayer.

Better sing a song for peace,

With a big shout.

 

So sing only a song for peace....
