Айн Рэнд - Гимн - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

I am. I think. I want. My hands. My soul. My heaven. My forest. This is my land. Is it possible to say more? These are the most important words. This is the answer. I stand here at the top of the mountain. I raise my hands, spread them to the sides. This is my body and my soul. Finally I understood. We wanted to comprehend this. I am this meaning. We wanted to find an excuse for our existence. But the excuse is myself. I do not need an excuse or approval. My eyes see, and they give the world beauty. My ears hear, and a song sounds in them. My brain thinks, and only it will be the ray that will illuminate the truth. My will choose, and its choice is the only decree to me, the only thing I respect.

Many words are open to me. Many of them are wise, others are false, but only three holy: "I want this." No matter how dear I walk, the guiding star in me, and the star and the compass, they will show it to me, show me the way to themselves. I don’t know if there is the land on which I stand, the heart of the universe or only a fluff, lost in eternity. I do not know and do not think about it.

After all, I know that happiness is possible for me on Earth. And my happiness does not need a high goal to justify myself. It is not a means to achieve the goal. It is the goal.

And I'm not a means to achieve the goals of others. I do not serve anyone's desires. I'm not a bandage for their wounds. I am not a sacrifice for their altar. I am human. With this miracle of my existence, I own only I, only I protect it and use it, only I bow to him.

I will not give my wealth, I will not divide them with anyone. The treasure of my soul will not be exchanged for copper coins and scattered by the wind, like alms. I protect my wealth: thoughts, will, freedom. The greatest of them is freedom.

I do not owe anything to my brothers, and they have no duty to me. I do not ask anyone to live for me, but I myself live only for myself. I do not harass a nobody soul, but I do not want someone to harass mine. I am not an enemy and not a friend to brothers, a poor spirit. To earn my love, the brothers must do something else other than being born. I do not give love just like that, and no one who accidentally wanted it will receive my love. I give people my love as a great honor. But the honor must be earned.

I will choose friends among people, but not slaves, not masters. And I will choose only those who like me, and I will respect and love them, but do not obey and not order. And we will connect our hands when we want, and let's go alone when we want.

In the temple of his soul a person is lonely. And let the temple of each remains untouched and not desecrated. Let the person reach out to another when he wants, but not crossing this holy threshold.

And people can use the word "we" only when they want, and with great carefulness. And never this word will be the main thing in the soul of a person, for having won us, this word becomes a monster, the root of evil on the ground, the root of human torment and an unheard of lie. The word "we" is a gypsum spilled on people. It freezes and hardens like a stone, and destroys everything into a circle. Both black and white become gray. With the help of this word, dirty stole the virtue of pure, weak - the power of the strong, demented - the wisdom of the smartest.

What is my joy if any, even dirty fingers can touch it? What is my wisdom, even if fools can order me? What is my freedom, even if you are mediocre and weak - my owners? What is my life if I can’t agree to obey? But I committed this disastrous faith. I ended with the monster "We" - the word of slavery, theft, misfortune, falsehood and shame. And so I see the face of God, and I offer Him above the Earth. God, whom man has been looking for since people began to exist. This God will give us joy, peace and pride.

This God is "I" !!!
