We sympathize with your grief
from the explosions of “brotherly” missiles.
From the air, from land and from the sea
Russia sends you a “privet.”

Her love is boundless,
ready to strangle.
False and hypocritical
she rapes. She longs to kill.

She smashes cities and villages,
whatever lives — she destroys it all
and grieves, unmerry —
why is she not loved?
