[Intro — very low raspy male voice, almost whispered, no music]
Сім чоловік…
Sim cholovik…
Seven men…
Одна дорога…
Odna doroha…
One road…
Ми думали, повернемось усі…
My dumaly, povernemos' usi…
We thought we'd all return…
Блядь…
Blyad'…
Fuck…
Як же ми помилялись…
Yak zhe my pomylalys'…
How wrong we were…
[Verse 1 — slow dark rap, raw voice, heavy pauses]
Сім душ на одному напрямку, один на всіх наказ,
Sim dush na odnomu napryamku, odyn na vsikh nakaz,
Seven souls on one front, one order for all,
Ми ще жартували разом, не знаючи, що чекає нас.
My shche zhartuvaly razom, ne znayuchy, shcho chekaye nas.
We were still joking together, not knowing what awaited us.
Перший штурм, земля горить, над головою чорний дим,
Pershyy shturm, zemlya horyt', nad holovoyu chornyy dym,
First assault, the earth burns, black smoke overhead,
І ніхто не знає, хто з нас повернеться живим.
I nikhto ne znaye, kho z nas povernet'sya zhyvym.
And no one knows which of us will return alive.
Академік — лейтенант, він повів нас у той бій,
Akademik — leytenant, vin poviv nas u toy biy,
Akademik — the lieutenant, he led us into that battle,
Не ховався за спинами, сам показував, як стій.
Ne khovavsya za spynamy, sam pokazuvav, yak stiy.
He didn't hide behind backs, he himself showed how to stand firm.
Він не вчив нас бути героями красивими словами,
Vin ne vchyv nas buty heroyamy krasyvymy slovamy,
He didn't teach us to be heroes with beautiful words,
Він ішов попереду — і ми тримались за ним.
Vin ishv poperedu — i my trymalys' za nym.
He went ahead — and we followed him.
Лео — теж лейтенант, але з іншого взводу,
Leo — tezh leytenant, ale z inshoho vzvodu,
Leo — also a lieutenant, but from another platoon,
Та за друга був готовий іти в пекло знову.
Ta za druha buv hotovyy ity v peklo znovu.
But for a friend, he was ready to go to hell again.
Академік для нього був не просто командир,
Akademik dlya n'oho buv ne prosto komandyr,
Akademik was not just a commander for him,
То був близький, справжній друг — за якого він стояв.
To buv blyz'kyy, spravzhniy druh — za yakoho vin stoyav.
He was a close, true friend — for whom he stood.
Не за славу, не за погони, не за довбаний метал,
Ne za slavu, ne za pohony, ne za dovbanyy metal,
Not for glory, not for insignia, not for damned metal,
Він ішов туди, де кожен своє життя ховав.
Vin ishv tudy, de kozhen svoye zhyttya khovav.
He went where everyone hid their lives.
І тепер я розумію, що тоді нас всіх тримало:
I teper ya rozumiyu, shcho todi nas vsikh trymalo:
And now I understand what held us all together then:
Не наказ і не погрози — братство, що міцніше за страх.
Ne nakaz i ne pohrozy — bratstvo, shcho mitsnishe za strakh.
Not orders and not threats — brotherhood, stronger than fear.
[Verse 2 — slower, rough voice, sparse beat]
А потім все пішло не так…
A potim vse pishlo ne tak…
And then everything went wrong…
І я залишився там.
I ya zalyshyvsya tam.
And I was left there.
Біль розривав мене на шмаття,
Bil rozryvav mene na shmattya,
Pain tore me to shreds,
А навколо — дим і бруд.
A navkolo — dym i brud.
And around — smoke and dirt.
Час тягнувся, наче вічність,
Chas tyahnuvsya, nache vichnist',
Time stretched like eternity,
Я вже збився, скільки годин.
Ya vzhe zbyvsya, skil'ky hodyn.
I'd already lost count of the hours.
І коли всі відмовились —
I koly vsi vidmovylys' —
And when everyone gave up —
Я лежав там сам один.
Ya lezhav tam sam odyn.
I lay there all alone.
П’ять годин…
P'yat' hodyn…
Five hours…
Блядь, п’ять годин…
Blyad', p'yat' hodyn…
Fuck, five hours…
Хто не був там — не зрозуміє,
Khto ne buv tam — ne zrozumiyeyu,
Whoever wasn't there — won't understand,
Що робиться всередині.
Shcho robyt'sya vseredyni.
What happens inside.
[Beat stops — silence]
Але Лео…
Ale Leo…
But Leo…
І Псіх…
I Psikh…
And Psykh…
Прийшли удвох за мною.
Pryishly udvokh za mnoyu.
Came together for me.
[Verse 3 — emotional, almost spoken, voice breaking]
Коли інші відвернулись, коли шансів майже нуль,
Koly inshi vidvernulys', koly shansiv mayzhe nul',
When others turned away, when chances were almost zero,
Лео й Псіх пішли по мене крізь той клятий біль і бруд.
Leo y Psikh pishly po mene kriz' toy klyatyy bil' i brud.
Leo and Psykh went for me through that damned pain and dirt.
Не питали, чи є сенс, не шукали виправдань,
Ne pytaly, chy ye sens, ne shukaly vypravdan',
They didn't ask if there was sense, didn't look for excuses,
Просто прийшли мене забрати — всупереч усім словам.
Prosto pryishly mene zabraty — vsuperech usim slovam.
They just came to get me — despite all words.
Я не знаю, скільки треба мати сили всередині,
Ya ne znayu, skil'ky treba maty syly vseredyni,
I don't know how much strength one must have inside,
Щоб піти за тим, хто, може, вже не встане на землі.
Shchob pity za tym, kho, mozhe, vzhe ne vstane na zemli.
To go for someone who, perhaps, will no longer rise from the ground.
Але ви прийшли, два брати, і я цього не забуду,
Ale vy pryishly, dva braty, i ya ts'oho ne zabudu,
But you came, two brothers, and I will not forget this,
Скільки б років не минуло — я за вас стояти буду.
Skil'ky b rokiv ne mynulo — ya za vas stoyaty budu.
No matter how many years pass — I will stand for you.
[Chorus — very slow, raspy, restrained anger and grief]
Коли всі сказали «ні» —
Koly vsi skazaly «ni» —
When everyone said "no" —
Ви удвох пішли в вогні.
Vy udvokh pishly v vohni.
You two went into the fire.
Коли світ поставив хрест —
Koly svit postavyv khrest —
When the world wrote me off —
Ви прийшли забрати мене.
Vy pryishly zabraty mene.
You came to get me.
Лео… Псіх…
Leo… Psikh…
Leo… Psykh…
Я пам’ятатиму цей день.
Ya pam'yatatymu tsey den'.
I will remember this day.
Хай мене розірве пам’ять —
Khay mene rozirve pam'yat' —
Let memory tear me apart —
Я не зраджу вас, повір.
Ya ne zradzhu vas, povir.
I will not betray you, believe me.
Ми без руки, ми без ноги,
My bez ruky, my bez nohy,
We are without an arm, we are without a leg,
Та не продали братерство.
Ta ne prodaly braterstvo.
But we did not sell our brotherhood.
Хай нас добивають ці сни —
Khay nas dobyvayut' tsi sny —
Let these dreams finish us off —
Ми пройшли крізь пекло разом.
My proyshly kriz' peklo razom.
We went through hell together.
[Verse 4 — intimate, low voice, no melodic singing]
А Матвій…
A Matviy…
And Matviy…
Брате, пам’ятаєш, як жили?
Brate, pam'yatayesh, yak zhyly?
Brother, do you remember how we lived?
Ми ділили все на трьох — і хліб, і ночі, і думки.
My dilyly vse na tr'okh — i khlib, i nochi, i dumky.
We shared everything among three — bread, and nights, and thoughts.
Наші плани до світанку, наші жарти у дворі,
Nashi plany do svitanku, nashi zharty u dvori,
Our plans until dawn, our jokes in the yard,
Ми не думали, що стільки болю буде у житті.
My ne dumaly, shcho stil'ky bolyu bude u zhytti.
We didn't think there would be so much pain in life.
Спільний побут, спільна їжа
Spil'nyy pobut, spil'na yizha
Shared daily life, shared food

“Коли світ поставив хрест —”
Koly svit postavyv khrest —
When the world wrote me off —

“Та не продали братерство.”
Ta ne prodaly braterstvo.
But we did not sell our brotherhood.
This line highlights the ultimate sacrifice and loyalty, stating that despite losing body parts (a common consequence of war injuries), they never compromised their bond of brotherhood.
