However, there were attempts to adapt the lyrics to the communist ideology by replacing mentions of the national Belarusian white-red-white flag with those of the Soviet red banner.

In particular, the renowned writers Vasil Bykau, Ales Adamovich and Ryhor Baradulin issued a public appeal in favour of making "Vajacki marš" the national anthem of Belarus.

Today, "Vajacki marš" enjoys certain popularity among the Belarusian democratic opposition and is traditionally mentioned as one of the possible alternatives to the current official anthem.

Хай воля вечна будзе з намі, А гвалту мы дамо адпор!

Імя і сілу беларуса Няхай пачуе й (у)бачыць той, Хто сьмее нам нясьці прымусы I першы выкліча на бой.

Браты, да шчасьця мы падходзім: Хай гром грыміць яшчэ мацней!

Imia i siłu biełarusa Niachaj pačuje j (u)bačyć toj, Chto śmieje nam niaści prymusy I pieršy vykliča na boj.

Braty, da ščaścia my padchodzim: Chaj hrom hrymić jašče macniej!

May happiness and freedom For our brave people in the fight be won; Too long in torment we were bleeding... To battle, each and everyone!
