My beloved country

oh my beloved country

oh my beloved people

what used to be great

is now destroyed

what used to be beautiful

is now ugly

what used to be honour

is now disgrace

what used to worthy

is worthless

what used to be a tall beautiful building

is now a ruble

what used to be street

is now a ragged derail

what used to be school

is now a cemetery

torn by two

the tribes are multiplying

before end of the decade

there will be millions

you were once feared by your neighbors

now they walk in and out of your borders

oh my people what have you done

oh my people what have you done

oh my people what have you done.
