sad?
-Ferocious executioner!
My life passed in abundance
and to what it led me?
to die terrible death,
die like no beggar dies
to see love that I couldn't imagine
Forgive my sids, Virgin Mary
-You will not die
You will not die
Not you
Swear of my birth, you will not die
And if neither force nor prayer
can not help to avoid death
we will die together
Nothing can sever us
-Don't lie, knight
neither me nor yourself
I know that you may not love me
You are waited by father,
comrades, motherland
We are your enemies
-Who is father?
Comrades?
Motherland?
I don't have them
Noone!
Who said that Ukraina is my motherland?
Who gave it me as the motherland?
Motherland is what our soul seeks
What is dearer for it
Here is my motherland
You are my motherland
And I will bring this motherland
deep in my heart
While alive
And Cossacks are not hindrance
For such motherland
I'll give up everything
or sell
or ruin
-Did you see Andriy?
-No
Maybe he was taken to captivity?
-Andriy - no!
Between killed he was not found
Examine around
-That is what has happened this night
Whole Pereyaslav kuren was drunk
So no surprise
that half of it was slaughtered
and another half taken to captivity
That's the profanation from our enemy
-Wait, father
it is not true to say it
about whole Christian army
Cossacks were guilty if became drunk
on march, war or hard work
and we were idle
sitted around stronghold for nothing
The fast and other Christian abstentions are absent
So how can
an idle man be sober?
-Wise words said older Bul'benko
-So no sin
Better we will
pay for attacking guiltless people
We beat them well,
and now we'll beat them even better
-Comrade colonel!
Comrade colonel!
Comrade colonel
I was inside the stronghold
-What enemy took you there?
-When I heard the noise
and Cossacks began to shoot
I ran to gates when Polish forces
entranced the stronghold
And in the front of detachment
cornet Galyndovich
he owes me 100 coins for three years
I ran to him to get money back
and entranced stronghold
-You entranced to get money back?
Didn't he order
to hang you like a dog?
-Yes, he wanted to
even put the rope on my neck
but I prayed to him,
I promised
to lend hime more.
Cornet has no money
that is why he was absent on Seim
-What did you do inside?
Have you seen our men?
Yes, of course, Ivitsko, Samuilo, Rahu
-Nobody cares about them
I ask you about Cossacks
-Cossacks
I saw
Andriy
-You saw
Andriy
How?
Where?
In basement?
In pit?
Disgraced?
Binded?
-Noone may bind him
He is so important
and knight!
I didn't recognize him
His shoulder straps are in gold
oversleeves in gold
cap in gold
Gold is everywhere
tie in gold
Everything in gold
General gave him a horse
One horse costs 200 coins
that is
-Why he wears enemy's equipment?
-He went across to them
-To whom?
-He went over to their side
He is now their
-You lie, pig's ear!
-How can I lie
Don't I know
that Jew will be hanged like a dog
if he lies to gentleman
-So you say he sold motherland and faith?
-No, I don't say he sold something
I just said
That he went across to their side
-You lie, damned Jew
That was not in Christian land
you confuse, dog!
-The grass will not grow
near my home
people will spit
on grave of my father, mother,
father-in-law, grandfather
if I confuse
If you want
I can say why he went over
-Why?
General
has beautiful daughter
very beautiful
She is the reason
I asked
her servant-Tatar
marriage comes
now, after they drive away
Cossacks
Andriy promised to drive away Cossacks
-Why didn't you kill that devil's son?
-Why kill?
What is his guilt?
They are better for him,
so he went across
-You
Did you see him?
Face to face?
-Yes, face to face
He approached me
he recognized me
and said:
Yankel'
-What did he say?
-'Tell
father, tell brother
tell Cossacks
tell Zaporozhets'
tell everybody
that
now
father is not father to me
brother is
