not submissive,
but an equal, a fire
a fellow Slav, a river
a noble brother, partner,
only together, Slavic rivers
one to another, hand in hand,
seeing each other as one people,
seeing each a brother, as family…
different peoples, but one people,
united, only then shall we gather
may we tarry, assemble, travel
in a group, as neighbors
only a people, kinsman,
though we are many,
together as one family,
one common blood…
