To The DNR Unforgettable Leader 
Tribute to Alexander Zakharchenko

By Tatiana Pahlen
 
The tragedy repeats itself:
We lost the modest, heroic soul
Of the DNR independent Republic, 
Alexander Zakharchenko.
 
His body was blown up by a bomb,
Wickedly planted in the Café Separ,
Where he paid tribute to the grandeur– Joseph Kobzon, 
The beloved son and glorious baritone of Donbass. 
 
No prayers or tears can release the pain
Two legends were mourned on the same day.
Donbass lost another brave man, 
The uncompromising Leader of the DNR. 
 
The rumors that one of his bodyguards 
Went missing after the blast; 
Another was murdered along with him,
Showing an ultimate trust. 
 
My heart will always be with you, 
The Resistance Army of a beautiful land.
Don’t let Poroshenko sell parts of Donbass 
To the European countries to pay Kiev’s debt. 
Revolt and fight for it till the end!
