Sunray
A project by Paweł Althamer
In Minsk, capital of Belarus, a random encounter with a few friends on the street can be considered as an illegal assembly. In Minsk, you can end up in prison for clapping your hands on the street. In Minsk, the government wants to control everything. Yet, more than 150 people in golden suits walked two miles to welcome the sun. These people have freed themselves from their fears and walked towards the hope for a better future.
On the foreday of the march the bands Amaroka, Paprika Korps and NRM gave concerts. The last band played a song especially written for the project "Sunray."

Sunray
It seems that winter will forever
Remain in our city
It seems the sun will never warm us
Forever, another month
This mud, this cold and this wind
Probably the sun will never warm us
Probably never
The disc of the sun is smoldering like coal
The sky is red
Through the gloomy morning we can see the day
The ray, we're waiting for the first ray
Heaven
Through the dim morning - a ray, we're waiting
The morning gapes like a wound
In the squares, in the streets
Do you remember how warm it was from the sun?
I know.
The disc of the sun is smoldering like coal
The sky is red
Through the gloomy morning we can see the day
The ray, we're waiting for the first ray
Heaven
Through the dim morning - a ray, we're waiting
It seems that winter will forever
Remain in our city, in our hearts
The disc of the sun is smoldering like coal
The sky is red
Through the gloomy morning we can see the day
The ray, we're waiting for the first ray
Heaven
Through the dim morning - a ray, we're waiting
