Знают ли мамы в #России?

Do mothers in Russia know,
The awful cost of terror,
Their sons sent into the meat grinder,
So much senseless slaughter?
 
Знают ли мамы в России,
Ужасная цена террора,
Их сыновья отправили в мясорубку,
Столько бессмысленной бойни?
 
Do mothers in Russia know,
Are they aware of the carnage,
How many sons have died in vain,
For no territory, no glory?
 
Знают ли мамы в России,
Знают ли они о резня,
Сколько сыновей погибло напрасно,
Ни за территорию, ни за славу?
