Воля

Freedom

Mother, don't cry.
You gave birth to me for the freedom.
And at the cost of our own blood
Sunflowers will sprout on the fields.
 
Mother, I'm starting the journey
Because we've got nothing left to lose.
We never knew how to stay silent
Because there's no such thing as other people's children [1]
 
Instead of air raid siren sounds in the cities
Sing me beautiful songs.
We will wake up one day
From springtime and good news.
 
My mother,
I'm just a small human being,
But I have a family of millions of people
That will win one springtime day.

1 – "There's no such thing as other people's children" means we treat other people's children with the same kindness as our own.

A suggestion: "There are no other people's children" → "There's no such thing as other people's children"

Great suggestion — it makes much more sense. I'll update the translation using your suggestion. Thank you ?
