They did not liberate, they occupied.
Having named the territory their own.
They destroyed the population and deported them —
Took possession of the land.

It remains to erase the memory.
As if it had always been theirs.

So that historical experts fall silent,
In the hurried imperial insolence
They mercilessly destroy culture —
So the enslaved do not remember again
Their age-old nature.
And most of all, so they forget the language.
