[Verse 1]
Вони не знайомі, не знали імен,
They didn't know each other, didn't know names,
Не ділили доріг серед битв і проблем.
Didn't share paths amidst battles and problems.
Та Вербове з'єднало дві долі в одну,
But Verbove united two fates into one,
Дві родини зустрілись у спільнім болю.
Two families met in shared pain.
Лісовик і Джокер — два імені в строю,
Lesovyk and Joker — two names in the ranks,
Дві різні історії, одну боротьбу.
Two different stories, one struggle.
Вісімдесят друга, третій батальйон,
Eighty-second, third battalion,
Де десята й дванадцята залишили свій слід.
Where the tenth and twelfth left their mark.
[Куплет 2] · Verse 2
Наташа шукає свого Джокера, брата,
Natasha is looking for her Joker, her brother,
Її серце не вміє надію втрачати.
Her heart doesn't know how to lose hope.
А Лісовика вдома чекають батьки,
And Lesovyk's parents are waiting for him at home,
Дружина і діти рахують роки.
Wife and children are counting the years.
Дві родини, дві долі, одна боротьба,
Two families, two fates, one struggle,
Їх об'єднала не дружба — надія жива.
They were united not by friendship — but by living hope.
Вони стали рідними в пошуках своїх,
They became family in their search,
Бо біль за коханих — тепер спільний для всіх.Два імені — одна боротьба,
Because the pain for loved ones is now common to all. Two names — one struggle,
Два серця чекають, жива надія жива!
Two hearts are waiting, living hope is alive!
Лісовик і Джокер, почуйте крізь час,
Lesovyk and Joker, hear us through time,
Ваші рідні не припиняють шукати вас!
Your loved ones do not stop looking for you!
Наташа чекає, дружина чекає,
Natasha is waiting, the wife is waiting,
Батьки і діти додому благають.
Parents and children beg you to come home.
Зниклі безвісти — не означає забуті!
Missing in action — does not mean forgotten!
Ми будемо шукати, ми будемо вас чути!
We will search, we will hear you!
[Куплет 3] · Verse 3
Третій батальйон, десята, дванадцята,
Third battalion, tenth, twelfth,
Вербове не дає спокою вночі.
Verbove gives no peace at night.
Скільки запитань, скільки болю і сліз,
How many questions, how much pain and tears,
Скільки надії між небом і землею зависло.
How much hope hangs between heaven and earth.
Неважливо, хто з ким знайомий не був,
It doesn't matter who didn't know whom,
Бо кожен із них для когось — цілий світ.
Because each of them is a whole world to someone.
І тепер дві родини, мов одна сім'я,
And now two families, like one family,
Не дозволять забути жодного імені.
Will not allow any name to be forgotten.
[Бридж — емоційно, наростання музики] · Bridge — emotional, music building
Наташо, тримайся, твій біль нам знайомий,
Natasha, hold on, your pain is familiar to us,
Ти шукаєш брата, щоб привести додому.
You are looking for your brother to bring him home.
Батьки Лісовика, дружина і діти
Lesovyk's parents, wife and children
Не перестануть на повернення вірити.Фінальний приспів — потужно, чоловічий хор]
Will not stop believing in their return. [Final chorus — powerful, male choir]
ДВА ІМЕНІ — ОДНА БОРОТЬБА!
TWO NAMES — ONE STRUGGLE!
ДВІ РОДИНИ — ОДНА СІМ'Я!
TWO FAMILIES — ONE FAMILY!
ЛІСОВИК І ДЖОКЕР — МИ ЧЕКАЄМО ВАС!
LESOVYK AND JOKER — WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!
НЕ ЗАБУДЕМО, НЕ ЗАЛИШИМО ВАС!
WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU, WE WILL NOT ABANDON YOU!
82-ГА БРИГАДО, ПОЧУЙ НАШИЙ КРИК!
82ND BRIGADE, HEAR OUR CRY!
ВЕРБОВЕ НЕ СТЕРТИ З ПАМ'ЯТІ НАВІК!
VERBOVE CANNOT BE ERASED FROM MEMORY FOREVER!
ЗНИКЛІ БЕЗВІСТИ — НЕ ЗАБУТІ!
MISSING IN ACTION — NOT FORGOTTEN!
МИ БУДЕМО ШУКАТИ, ДОКИ НЕ ПОВЕРНЕТЕСЬ ДОДОМУ!
WE WILL SEARCH UNTIL YOU RETURN HOME!
[Завершення — тихо, голосом із надією] · Outro — quietly, with a voice of hope
Вони не знали один одного…
They didn't know each other…
Але тепер їхні родини — рідні.
But now their families are kin.
Бо є імена, які не можна забути.
Because there are names that cannot be forgotten.
Є люди, яких не можна перестати шукати.
There are people whom one cannot stop searching for.
Лісовик… Джокер…
Lesovyk… Joker…
Ваші чекають. Ваші борються.
Yours are waiting. Yours are fighting.
ПОВЕРТАЙТЕСЯ ДОДОМУ!
COME HOME!
Lines explained
“Та Вербове з'єднало дві долі в одну,”
But Verbove united two fates into one,
Verbove is a village in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine, which has been a site of intense fighting during the 2022 Russian invasion, making it a place associated with loss and sacrifice.
“Їх об'єднала не дружба — надія жива.”
They were united not by friendship — but by living hope.
This line emphasizes that their bond is not casual friendship but a profound connection forged by shared hope for the return of their loved ones.
“Зниклі безвісти — не означає забуті!”
Missing in action — does not mean forgotten!
This is a powerful statement of defiance against the finality of 'missing in action,' asserting that absence does not equate to being forgotten or abandoned.
