Below is a free translation of the lyrics:
“With You and Thanks to You”
“I know it isn’t easy to understand,
what we went through, far away during the nights, And it’s hard even for me to believe, That it hurts even when your eyes are shut, But we fought for you our country, Songs say you’re the one and only one, The memories are still painful every minute, It’s your turn now to say you’re not giving-up on me, We’re here with you and thanks to you We’ll remain with you, there are no time limits, You gave your body and soul, Now we are here with you and thanks to you, growing strong, We won’t leave you alone in your battle, To deal with the pain in your souls, For us you’ll always be the heroes, We are here with you, and thanks to you… …We are alive Now you’ve started your life anew, You are here to stay for good, Remember all those friends, Who are there to help you overcome, With each journey, we’ll reach new peaks of success, Nothing will stand in our way, You will always give us inspiration, Thanks for standing by us, We’re here with you and thanks to you We’ll remain with you, there are no time limits, You gave your body and soul, Now we are here with you and thanks to you, growing strong, We won’t leave you alone in your battle, To deal with the pain in your souls, For us you’ll always be the heroes, We are here with you, and thanks to you… …We are alive
This wonderful collaboration is a true testimony that despite the difficulties and hardships, there is a lot of hope, inspiration and excellence.
