Belarus National Anthem: Мы, Беларусы - We, Belarusians

Показать описание

"My Biełarusy" is the unofficial title of the national anthem of Belarus and the first line of its lyrics. It was originally written in the 1940s and adopted in 1955 for use in the Belorusian Soviet Socialist Republic. The music of the Belorusian SSR's regional anthem was composed by Niescier Sakałoŭski and the lyrics were written by Mikhas Klimkovich. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the music composed by Sakałoŭski was kept and the lyrics were discarded. New lyrics, which were written by Klimkovich and Uladzimir Karyzny, were adopted by a presidential decree issued on 2 July 2002. The lyrics of the anthem now sing of a friendly Belarus, honoring past military battles and looking forward to the future. The music was kept due to the historical connections it has to Belarus.
