And every child in the world knows This black-and-red stave On which the Requiem for non-survivors bleeds with blood. Smelling of gunpowder and ashes, - Silk, trampling down the yoke of steel shackles, - A ribbon that does not accept fear, A noose ribbon for enemies, A great military shrine Let it fly over my heart - A ribbon of the color of flame and smoke, A ribbon of the color of smoke and fire.
