BRUTTO is one of the bands formed from Lyapis Trubetskoy, whom we included several times in our calendar (2014 with “Warriors of Light” and 2011 with “Capital”). Next to a campfire by a lake Siarhei Mikhalok, who is closely connected to the Belarusian opposition movement, signs of partisan fights with a trace of nostalgia.

BRUTTO – 12 monkeys
You dream about changing this crazy world
Feel like a magic king
You pick up ether from the cosmos.
Colourful rainbow, silver rain.
The angels are playing the trumpet
The high notes sound solemnly
You believe in an independent Tibet
Latin Communism and heavenly gardens.
Youth and joy
You, the head partisan
Anarchy and fury
Twelve monkeys.
You believe that a star lies in your hand
Which can awake warm hearts
A city in golden sand
The crystal dream of the warrior
You little Gavroche, naive prince
To you the fight is like a carnival
You were searching for freedom without limits
Dancing and singing on the barricades
Youth and joy
You, the head partisan
Anarchy and fury
Twelve monkeys.
