White

The village of Bilenke is my grandmother,
The cradle of my childhood.
Once upon a time I was little here,
My youthful life flowed here.

I thank you for your honesty
For simplicity and for warmth,
And for the love of the motherland,
You are my native village.

I am grateful to everyone: parents, family, neighbors,
To all friends, good luck.
I love all of you beautiful people
And you, my little white village.
