Brest (Belarusian: Брэст Brest or traditionally Берасце, Bieraście; Russian: Брест Brest; Polish: Brześć; Ukrainian: Брест Brest, traditionally Берестя Berestia; Yiddish: בריסק Brisk), formerly also Brest-on-the-Bug and Brest-Litovsk ("Брэст-Лiтоўск" in Belarusian), is a city (population 310,800 in 2010) in Belarus at the border with Poland opposite the Polish city of Terespol, where the Bug River and Mukhavets rivers meet. It is the capital city of the Brest voblast.
The city of Brest is a historic site of many cultures. Here were concluded such important historical documents as the Union of Brest and Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The city fortress was recognized by the Soviet Union as the Hero Fortress, a unique award.
The city, during medieval times, was part of the Kingdom of Poland from the tenth century until 1319 when it was taken by Grand Duchy of Lithuania until the Polish Partitions, when it became part of the Russian Empire in 1795. After World War I, the city again returned to sovereign Poland. During World War II the city was first taken by the Soviets and in 1941 by the Nazis. After the war, with the new boundaries of the Soviet Union with Poland, the city became part of the Soviet BSSR until the breakup of the country in 1991, placing the city in the custody of Belarus, where it remains today.

Est-ce que désormais, tu me détestes d'avoir pu, un jour, quitter Brest
La rade, le port, ce qu'il en reste, le vent dans l'avenue Jean-Jaurès?
Je sais bien qu'on y était presque, on avait fini notre jeunesse.
On aurait pu en dévorer les restes, même au beau milieu d'une averse.
Tonnerre, tonnerre, tonnerre de Brest
Mais nom de Dieu, que la pluie cesse!
Tonnerre, tonnerre, tonnerre de Brest, même la terre part à la renverse.
Le Recouvrance que l'on délaisse, la rue de Siam, ses nuits d'ivresse
Ce n'est pas par manque de politesse
Juste l'usure des nuages et de tes caresses.
Ceci n'est pas un manifeste, pas même un sermon, encore moins une messe
Mais il fallait bien qu'un jour, je disparaisse.
Doit-on toujours protéger l'espèce?
Tonnerre, tonnerre, tonnerre de Brest
Mais nom de Dieu, que la pluie cesse!
Tonnerre, tonnerre, tonnerre de Brest
Mais nom de Dieu, que la pluie cesse!
Tonnerre, tonnerre, tonnerre de Brest, même la terre part à la renverse.
Tonnerre, tonnerre, tonnerre de Brest
Est-ce que toi aussi, ça te bouleverse?
Est-ce que toi aussi, ça te bouleverse
Ces quelques cendres que l'on disperse?
