The Elegy of crossing the Sea during the Circassian Deportation
—————————————————————————————————————–
The Great Russian princes bombard us with cannons
Defenders of chivalry fight us
Chorus:
When we were expelled from our country, it was a great tragedy
What we suffered still bleeds our hearts
More than a hundred million people fight us
And the small people they fight are a handful
Chorus:
When we were expelled from our country, it was a great tragedy
What we suffered still bleeds our hearts
The greed of those who sold themselves among us
Because their faces are like cows selling our homeland
When we were expelled from our country, it was a great tragedy
What we suffered still bleeds our hearts
False elders with false preaching
Our homeland is lost and they caused us a great disaster
Chorus:
When we were expelled from our country, it was a great tragedy
What we suffered still bleeds our hearts
Hypocrites amongst us pretending to know all
They pretend they are working for God
Chorus:
When we were expelled from our country, it was a great tragedy
What we suffered still bleeds our hearts
Cold sea waves crash into the dilapidated ship
And the dead fish floundering on the sides of the ship
When we were expelled from our country, it was a great tragedy
What we suffered still bleeds our hearts
