Я нарадзіўся тут на ідыш - I Was Born Here in Yiddish

August 9, 2020 is the presidential election day in Belarus. There is a lot of hope and a lot of courage taking place in the hearts and actions of Belarusians and all people who care for liberty and dignity. With this modest contribution, Slepovitch family would like to support our compatriots and shout out loud, the darkness will not prevail, the light will win.
9 жніўня 2020 года, адбудуцца прэзідэнцкія выбары у Беларусі. У сэрцах і паступках беларусаў і ўсіх неабыякавых людзей жывуць моцная надзея і адвага. Перакладам песні Лявона Вольскага "Я нарадзіўся тут" сям'я Сляповічаў хоча выказаць падтрымку нашым суачйыннікам. Цемра тут ненадоўга. Святло пераможа.

1. Kh’bin gebOyrn gevorn do,
In dem land untern groyen himl
Kh’bin geboyrn gevorn do –
In dem land fun bulbe,
shvarts broyt un kolvirtn.

Kh’bin geBOYrn gevorn do,
In dem land fun melukhe-kontrol
un geganvete krantn.
Kh’bin geBOYrn gevorn do,
In dem land fun tseshmeterte kloysters
un dibek-geshtaltn.

REFREN:
Kimpet-hoyz, kindergortn un shul,

Ikh veys, az efsher shoyn bald
Af undzere breyte kolvirtishe pashes
Anshtot der bitergroz
Vayse un royte blumen veln oysvaksn.

Kimpet-hoyz, kindergortn un shul…
