Long Live Belarus!

The motto is aimed at awakening the national civil sense, the consolidation of the Belarusian people to protect the freedom and independence of their country, language, and national culture.

[1] Belarusian poet Janka Kupała ended his 1905–1907 poem "This is a Cry That Belarus Lives" with this phrase.

[2] In December 1917, the First All-Belarusian Congress displayed the flag with the inscription "Long Live Free Belarus!".

[3] It is displayed on the logo of a major state-owned newspaper, Narodnaya Gazeta.

[4][5][6] The phrase has been widely used by opponents of President Alexander Lukashenko, both inside and outside of Belarus, during the 2020 Belarusian protests.

Сьвятло Пагоні будзе сэрцы нашы акрыляць.

Век у шчасьці жыві, ты Радзіма мая!

Магутны Божа, беражы Айчыну з году ў год.

Śviatło Pahoni budzie sercy našy akrylać.

Budzieš viečna na ziamli paspality naš Rod.
