Himn studentaŭ (Students’ Anthem)

Students’ anthem: Gaudeamus igitur, 13-14 c. Translated from Latin into Belarusian by Zmicier Sasnouski. Actual English translation by Alena Martsyanava and Volya Dzemka.

Budźma viesialicca
Pokuĺ maladyja,
Budźma viesialicca,
Pokuĺ nie staryja.
Za burlivaj maladosciu,
Za klapotlivaj starosciu
Nas ziamieĺka abdymie.
 
Vivat Academia!
Vivant professors!
Vivat Academia!
Vivant professors!
Kab vykladčyki zaŭsiodna,
Kab i razam, i asobna
Byli ŭ dobrym humory.
 
Chaj usie dziaŭčyny
Svieciacca kachanniem
I palajuć čynna
Pramianiovym zzianniem.
Bliskaciać niby maniety
I panienki, i kabiety,
Pieknasć i milavannie.
 
Viesialosć i radasć
Serca nie pakinie,
Smutak i paharda
Nazaŭsiody zhinie.
Zhinie djabal, zhinie piekla,
Zhinuć vorahi studenta,
Zdzieki zhinuć i kpiny.
 
Aĺmamater ščodra
Nas adukavala.
I, nibyta rodnych,
Siabraŭ zhurtavala.
Ad miastečkaŭ i stalicaŭ,
Z haradoŭ i haradzicaŭ
Razam nas pazbirala.
 
Našaje braterstva
Chaj nia maje spynu.
Hramada studenctva
Chaj kvitnieje slynna.
Musim iscinu adšukvać,
Kab karmila nas navuka.
Uslaŭliajem Ajčynu!
 
Actual English translation:
 
Let’s rejoice
While we’re young.
Let’s rejoice,
While we’re still not old.
When the crazy youth is gone,
After troubled old age,
The soil will embrace us.
 
Long live Academia!
Long live professors!
Long live Academia!
Long live professors!
Let the teachers always,
Either together or apart,
Be in a good mood.
 
Let all young women
Glow with love,
And shimmer brightly
With pride.
Let Dames and ladies
Shine like golden coins,
With grace and tenderness.
 
May joy and happiness
Dwell in our hearts,
And grief and sorrows
Vanish forever.
Perish, Devil. Hell will vanish.
Enemies, who mock us,
All will disappear.
 
Alma Mater gave us all
An exceptional education,
And united all of us
Into friendly family.
From the towns and capitals,
Villages and places,
You’ve gathered us all.
 
Let our brotherhood
Have no ending.
Let the students’ fellowship
Flourish greatly.
We must seek the truth
For the sake of science.
We praise the Motherland!
