Группа Арфочки – Посмотрите

This is my first translation in English without the support of my dad or my big brothers. In these hard times, it is my way to speak my feelings. Ukraine is the most beautiful country I have visited. I can not understand how anyone would not only wish to destroy it but even truly does so. Adults show us so often how we should not become. So much lack of care and understanding of how the world should work. False promises of making the world better for us, children. I just hope our generation will do better once we are old enough to take over. All the hurt and hatred need to end.

Official Ukrainian lyrics

Кто Скажите придумал войну
Хто її може припинити?
Кто может руку любви протянуть
Хто перший би зміг простити?

Кто Скажите дал право решать
Хто дозволив життя забирати?
Все хотят жить а не умирать
Це гріх невинних людей убивати.

Мы не хотим больше слез, потерь
Услыште нас, детей
Ми перед небом однакові
Не вбивайте нас автоматами….

Посмотрите на себя люди
Протяните руки друг другу
Поднимите флаг перемирья
Вашим детям так нужен мир.

Подивіться — небо чудове
Не фарбуйте небо це кров’ю
Нам потрібні мама і тато
Братик сестричка та просто «Мир».

Кто сумеет вас остановить
Щоб не йшли із бідою до брата
Кто вас взрослых научит любить
Не нести смерть до хати.

Мы все люди планеты одной
Мм перед Богом всі є однакові
Не губиие друг друга войной
Не вбивайте нас автоматами.

My English translation

Tell me, who invented war?
Who can stop it?
Who can extend the hand of love?
Who would be the first to forgive?

Who gave you the right to decide?
Who is allowing life to be taken away?
Everyone wants to live, not die.
It’s a sin to k**l innocent people.

We don’t want more tears of loss.
Hear us, children.
We are the same before Heaven.
Don’t k**l us with machine guns…

Look at yourselves, people.
Hold out your hands to each other.
Raise the flag of truce.
Your children need peace so much.

Look, the sky is wonderful.
Don’t paint the sky with blood.
We need our mom and dad.
Little brother and little sister and just peace.

Who can stop you?
So that they don’t go to their brother in trouble.
Who will teach you, adults, to love?
Do not bring death to our home.

We are all people on the same planet.
We are all the same before God.
Don’t destroy each other with war.
Don’t k**l us with machine guns.

I came into this world in Belarus and am growing up in Poland. Dancing, football, and going to new places are some of my favorite things to do! I believe strongly in diversity, mutual respect, and greater rights for children and women. Use whatever pronouns you want to use for me, it really shouldn't matter.
