An anti-Putin song released a year on from the death of Alexei Navalny.

I love it. Could someone who is native in English post the lyrics, please? I'd like to post them on facebook at the same time with the video.

Every time I see the video of PSB performing Go West in the Red Square for the Live 8 in 2005, I wonder if Russia will ever be free, at least at the level of that year...

Free Russia
Let Russia be free
from its past and its present
and its bleak cruelty

Free Russia
Let Russians agree
that power is pointless
if no one is free

Free Russia
Let Russia be free
from its pain and its conflicts
and its endless enmity

Free Russia
Let Russia be free
from the lies of its leaders
and its autocracy

Free Russia
Let Russia be free
From the poison of Putin
may it win liberty

Free Russia
Let poets decree
the secret is love
for Russia to be free

They can change some words for an update after waking Up …

Free Europa
Let Europa be free
from its past and its present and its bleak cruelty
Free Europa
Let Europians agree that power is pointless
if no one is free
Free Europa
Let Europa be free
from its pain and its conflicts and its endless enmity
Free Europa
Let Europa be free
from the lies of its leaders and its autocracy
Free Europa
Let Europa be free
From the poison of von der Leyen may it win liberty
Free Europa
Let poets decree the secret is love for Europa to be free

I think it's beautiful. It does sound like it's going to turn into a stomper towards the end, but that wouldn't really feel right in the circumstances. Lovely melody and chords, though.

Oh, thank you for your effort

No worries - no effort involved, I copy-and-pasted from YouTube...

I didn't notice someone had posted the lyrics there

it is triggering the comments section, they will be banned like they did All the young dudes, where I read people were disliking the video and song so much and so they turn that off for good.

For the person who asked the lyrics it is usually on the same video, where you click "...MORE" just below Subscribed. Hope it helps.

The lyrics seems written from a 5 year old person POV , Europe is in great trouble, more than it has been since ww2, if you dig a little and dont just consume one channel of information you will see a pattern, that is called propaganda. You will do what you will what that info. USAID can tell you all what you need. Truth hurts.

Thank you, I thought that this being a new video, it was too soon to find the lyrics already posted there.

Should have been part of annually.

How could it have been part of Annually when they said they literally wrote it ‘in the last few days’?

Didn’t see that!

From an outside perspective, I'm inclined to agree. The propaganda makes it difficult to unpick the truth and people's agendas though. A lot needs to come to light yet before that's possible, yet European officials seem to be conspiring against that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bMzFDpfDwc
