SLAVALACHIA - Which side are you on?

An ocean apart, SLAVALACHIA comes together with a new rendition of the historic Appalachian protest song "Which side are you on?" in support of the fight against authoritarian regimes in Belarus and the world over.
Three countries. Three languages. One collective dream.

LYRICS:

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Come, friends of all the nations,
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how all Slavalachia
Has come in here to dwell

Which side are you on?
На чыім ты баку?
Which side are you on?
На чиєму боці ти?

Вялікаю сям'ёю
Шахцёры робяць дым:
І над і пад зямлёю
Стаім мы на сваім.

Ми чули обіцянки
Про щастя та аванс,
Пускаємо коріння
Земля тримає нас.

Oh workers can you take this?
Oh tell me how you can
Will they take your ears and eyes
Or will you take a stand?

Стаміліся ад казак,
Мы ведаем, дзе дно,
Трымае плошчу разам
Працоўнае звяно.

єдине, що нам треба,
Потужним, як граніт, --
Зміни себе самого
Щоб змінити світ..

Don't bow to the bosses
Don't listen to their lies!
Us poor folks we have not got a change
Unless we organize
