BORDER SONG

To my country and to my friends I send this letter:

Fear not of the unknown; have good endurance!

In risk, at the frontiers, I will think about my love,

and remember you, my heart, and remember you.

Dearest, never forget me; stay due to me.

Following the struggle, we will build a future in peace.

All the long, solitary days, all the quiet and meaningless nights —

Overflow it with our love, beloved with our passion.

Above the conflict, lifeblood and weapons another battle —

One of deception, diabolical oppression against fairness.

May the Creator, by love, grant friendship over the years

reign in our homeland, reign borderless in our nation.
