English Translation:
Brothers
Chorus: VERA
Lyrics: Seiji Mizushima, Tatiana Naumova
Composition: Michiru Oshima

Forgive me, younger brother!
I am so guilty before you.
It is forbidden to try to regain
That which the land has taken.

He who knows the Law of Genesis,
Would have helped me to find the answer.
I was cruelly mistaken:
There is no medicine against death.

Dear mama! How tender!
We so loved you.
But all our strength
Was for naught.

I tempted you
With wonderful hope
To regain our family hearth.
My brother, I am guilty in everything.

Don’t cry, don’t be saddened, older brother!
You are not the guilty one.
We have but one road,
We will atone for this guilt ’til the end.

I don’t accuse you of anything.
And I am not offended in the least.
A burden, our sin
Of wanting to be stronger in everything.

Dear mama! How tender!
We so loved you.
But all our strength
Was for naught.

I myself was tempted
With wonderful hope
To regain our family hearth.
I myself am guilty in everything.

But what are we to do, how to be?
How to repair everything, how to forget?
It is forbidden to try to regain,
That which the land has taken.
