Nadezhda Irdorath - More (The Sea) 

So, I'm back after 2 years in Belarusian prison for playing music at protests 2020. Thousands of letters of support from my friends and strangers, not all of which reached me. Long-awaited freedom and emigration. And now... I remember my tradition of publishing one personal song a year during the Christmas season. It's time to continue the tradition. I chose More: a song born in prison. Today it will become free.
Thanks to those who wrote and write letters to political prisoners. Thanks to those who wrote to me, it was a real salvation. And Happy new year.
Thank you Irmi Wolvin for the beautiful cello.
Thanks to Knochenland Studio and Victor Hildebrand for the sound.
Thanks to my beloved Vladimir irdorath for filming and support.
Thanks for the letters to everybody who sent them…

Море
Делай добро на свой риск и страх
Пока страх уснул на твоих руках,
Пока нет на руках твоих слёз чужих
Делай добро за себя и за них.
За тех, кто не встанет рядом с тобой,
За тех, кто не сердцем, а головой,
За тех, кого любишь и будешь любить
Делать добро, добро творить.
Делай добро и готовься платить.
А море полно воды,
А море тебя не ждёт,
А море сотрёт следы
Тех, кто за тобой придёт.
А море здесь так давно,
А море устало быть,
А море запомнит всё,
А ты не забудь забыть.
От школы до шконки как-нибудь,
От перемены не дрогнет суть
Мест слагаемых, прочих мест:
Homo homini lupus est.
Привяжи истину к сапогам,
И когда ты пройдёшь по головам,
будет не сложно её вдолбить:
Делать добро, добро творить.
Делай добро и готовься платить.
А море полно воды,
А море тебя не ждёт,
А море сотрёт следы
Тех, кто за тобой придёт.
А море здесь так давно,
А море устало быть,
А море запомнит всё,
А ты не забудь забыть.

Моre (The sea)
Do good at your own risk and fear
Till fear is asleep in your arms,
Till the tears of others are not on your hands
Do good for yourself and for them.
For those who won't stand beside you,
For those who follow with their heads and not their hearts,
For those you love and will love
To do good, to do good...
Do good and be prepared to pay.
The sea is full of water,
And the sea doesn't wait for you,
And the sea will erase the traces of those
Who will come for you.
And the sea has been here for so long,
And the sea is tired of being
And the sea will remember everything,
And you don’t forget to forget.
It's a short way from school to the prison bed,
From changing places of summation,
The essence will not change:
Homo homini lupus est.
Tie the truth to your boots
And when you've gone over the heads.
It won't be hard to hammer it in:
To do good, to do good...
Do good and be prepared to pay.
The sea is full of water,
And the sea doesn't wait for you,
And the sea will erase the traces of those
Who will come for you.
And the sea has been here for so long,
And the sea is tired of being
And the sea will remember everything,
And you don’t forget to forget.
