The Motherland 가사

A white velvet winter coat, lay bestowed upon the palace lawn Through the cold, the river Neva flows to the Baltic Sea With regality she winds away from my home, the Russian throne From northern lands under Aurora skies Through vast terrains and through the Volga veins From snowy corners of our nation all the people sing our family's hymn Oh my Rodina, home of the Tsars May you guard the Romanov's rule To thee I vow and pray until the day that I die, my Rodina A smile to the outside world May well deceive one's own soul But no! The truth is ghastly and plain Oh what burden befalls our family? What slithers through our brother's veins that can't be tamed? From northern lands under Aurora skies Through vast terrains and through Siberian plains No one should ever understand our masquerade, the Tsarevich's fate Oh my Rodina, home of the Tsars May you guard the Romanov's rule To thee I vow and pray until the day that I die, my Rodina Oh this curse, cloacked in crimson red Catastrophe lurks on my brother's path Do not revolt I see no reason why he cannot live unbruised and nobly die Tell me why! Oh this curse, cloacked in crimson red Catastrophe lurks on my brother's path! From northern lands under Aurora skies Through vast terrains and through the Volga veins From snowy corners of our nation all the people sing our family's hymn Oh my Rodina, home of the Tsars May you guard the Romanov's rule How divine our name, fortune and fame But the truth, if they only knew Oh my Rodina, home of the Tsars May you guard the Romanov's rule To thee I vow and pray until the day that I die, my Rodina Until that I die, my rodina We must not speak of our brother What plagues him, his agonizing pains For the people they will not condone nor forgive That he inherited a curse he cannot outlive
