"Mjadzvedz’ zdox – skladaj dudy u mex"
original: Мядзведзь здох – складай дуды у мехLiterally: "The bear has died, pack your bagpipes into the bag" [Everything is over, it’s the end of the party]; NB: In the Middle Ages bagpipes were used also in Belarus to accompany bear performances, so when the bear died, there was nothing left to do.
