18 Songs and Poems A.Bitvinskas. „Mes nemirę“ „Mes nemirę, mes nemirę!" Naktį juodą, žiaurią, gilią Kelias aukos iš kapų. Nužudyti, nukankinti Skelbia garsiai vieną mintį Dar gyvais balsais žmonių: „Mes nemirę, mes nemirę! Laukiam laisvės atgimimo Sutemų pilnoj šaly, - Dar ir Sibiro ledynėj, Toje lagerių tėvynėj, Mes gyvi, mes dar gyvi! Mes nemirę, mes nemirę, Jei pajėgiam naktį gilią Atsikelti iš kapų"... A.Bitvinskas. "We're not dead" “We‘re not dead, we did not die!“ Night black, fierce, deep Wake up victims from their graves. Murdered, tortured Proclaim loudly one thought With voices of people still alive: “We’re not dead, we did not die! We’re waiting for the rebirth of freedom In the country full of dusk,- Even in Siberia glacier, That lagers homeland, We’re alive, we’re still alive! We’re not dead, we did not die, If we can afford in night deep To wake up from our graves“…

19 Songs and Poems Jei ne auksinės vasaros, Ne mėlynos vosilkos, Nebūtum mes atėję čia, Kur slenka dienos pilkos. Taip tyliai slenka vasaros, Pražydę gėlės vysta. Mes tyliai šluostom ašaras, Palaidoję jaunystę. Paliksime tas kryžkeles Ir viską, ką turėjom - Jaunystę, juoką, ašaras Ir tą, kurią mylėjom. Išeisiu vieną vakarą Ir jau daugiau negrįšiu. Žydės vosilkos mėlynai, Bet jų nebematysiu. If not for golden summers If not for fields of blue We wouldn’t have come here To while away the days So quietly pass the summers And blossoming flowers wilt We quietly wipe away the tears In memory of our youth. We’ll leave behind those crossroads And everything we had Youth, laughter, tears And the one we loved I’ll leave one evening Never to return The rye flower will blossom blue But I will never see it
