Кнут засвистел над ним -

Holy Island
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
Our son has left for the islands
Which are called “Holy.”
By force they severed him -
ayue!
From home and native land.
Our son has left for the islands
Which are called “Holy.”
They forced our son to work -
ayue!
The whip whistled over him -
ayue!
Our son has left for the islands
Which are called “Holy.”
On his back they put a burden -
ayue!
One burden alone, like ten.
Our son has left for the islands
Which are called “Holy.”
He passed away.
He will not return home.
Ayue!
