about

Fall of USSR brought freedom to many. To some though, it brought the collapse of their previous ways of life. Where the state-owned coal mines of Donbas once thrived, now their impoverished ex-workers try to make meets end by crawling into 50 cm. high, 100 meters long crack between two rocks, and mining coal for sale. They are free to do it.

lyrics

Spogląda na nas z nieba
Na nasz ponury trud
Trud, który nic nam nie da,
Bo gdzieżby on coś dać mógł?

Spogląda na naszych władców
Tych, co pili z nas krew
Tych beznadziejnych starców
Co sztandar swój wloką przez śnieg

Mir
Ostatni jasny punkt
Mir
Na nocnym niebie Sojuza

Spogląda na nas z sympatią,
Nas, których nic już nie czeka
Bo naszej pracy nie zechce
Już nigdy żadna fabryka

Mir
Ostatni jasny punkt
Mir
Na nocnym niebie Sojuza

Gwiazda czerwona gaśnie
Komuna umiera
Czerwone dzieci
Czeka zagłada

Mir
Ostatni jasny punkt
Mir
Na nocnym niebie Sojuza

Patrzy z góry spokojnie
Na upadły eksperyment
Ma więcej szczęścia od nas
Bo udało mu się stąd uciec

english:

It looks at us from the sky
At our pointless struggle
A Struggle that will bear no fruit
For how could it bear anything?

It looks at our masters
Those, who drank our blood
Those hopeless old men
Who drag their banner through the snow

Mir
The last bright point
Mir
On the night sky over the union

He looks at us with sympathy
Us, that have nothing to look up to
For no factory
Will ever want our work

Mir
The last bright point
Mir
On the night sky over the union

The red star is fading
Communism dies
And its red children
Await their doom

Mir
The last bright point
Mir
On the night sky over the union

It glances down calmly
At the failed experiment
It's luckier than we are
For it has managed to escape this place.
