How many more times will the cold come here, will happen here?

How many more windows will break?

How many more of us will the spring wound while we are still young?

How many more religious icons will we have to put up?

My answer is sewed with wrinkles on my forehead - they are worth a thousand words.

My answer is weaved with white mallows in my memory, forged from mothers' tears.

How many times will the turtledow sing at the dawn?

How many warm days will we have?

How many more ashes will be stabbed by lead?

How many more oaks will be uprooted?

How many more of us will fly off with their dreams to the West?

How many more of us will again depart to the East?

How many times will the apple tree near the hata will bloom...

Until we make it to the other side of the cold winter river?

Мій син Іван у свої 1 рік і 8 місяців знає багато слів. Зараз він дуже любить говорити слова Потяг, Борсук, Їжак, Валіза. Але фаворити змінюються щотижня:) Немає нічого кращого, ніж чути як твої діти починають говорити. Говорити рідною мовою! Це щастя! (до речі, ще одне улюблене слово нашого Івана) Українська мова – це чи не найсильніша наша зброя. Найбільш стратегічна, так точно. З…

Okean Elzy, Travis Barker and Goo Goo Dolls (John Rzeznik) presents: Lighthouse

Ukraine's most beloved and enduring band Okean Elzy will release their first-ever English-language studio album, Lighthouse, on October 11 via Elektra. 

The group herald the record’s announcement with the title track and new single “Lighthouse” featuring John Rzeznik of Goo Goo Dolls out on all streaming platforms now.

Produced by John Feldmann (Blink 182, Avril Lavigne, 5 Seconds of Summer), and co-written by Slava, Feldmann and Eva Arnby Busacker (5 Seconds of Summer, Landon Barker), the track also features Travis Barker on drums. 

A portion of the proceeds from the song will be donated to United24, an initiative launched by the president of Ukraine in support of the country during the ongoing war. 

The video uplif the song.

About the song, Okean Elzy’s lead vocalist Sviastoslav ‘Slava’ Vakarchuk says, "The creative process was a unique experience for me. Working alongside Feldy and Evey was both fun and inspirational. The song came together in a matter of minutes. Having Travis on drums took the vibe up to a whole other level, and is yet another example of how special the human camaraderie and support is on this track.” 

"Lighthouse is a very powerful metaphor for me," Slava continues. "As a Ukrainian I couldn't think of a better metaphor to express our hope for the future, which is part of why the song and album bear that name." About collaborating with John Rzeznik, Slava adds, "I am extremely honored to have John Rzeznik sing in this song. His performance makes the song feel wider. As a legendary artist he takes this collaboration beyond just music. Thank you for your support of Ukraine, John.”

Thank you!!<зз And - ah!o////o It is of a little bit complex question - the quote presented underneath the painting is my rewritten, lingered variation of strophes of a song, translated from ukrainian, named "Гамерицький Край" ("Hameryz'kyy Krai", "Gamerian Land"), in youtube it can be found sung by Khrystyna Soloviy and Svyatoslav Vakarchuk~

You may also listen here, too!~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApP86JFSEFQ

The story within the old song is of a delicately toned historical element spoken ("Gamerian" is, essentially, vocally adapted word of "American", and the song is linked to story about invited by Brasilian monarchy landless or poor families from land of Lemky (Lemkos) to settle and work, ethnic group inhabiting highlands of Carpathian Mountains - land of now Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland o/////o), but within my demure and gentle rendition lyrics are translated as such:

"Could fly to the edge of the world, Just as wind flows around field Into Gamerian land. Yet, such is my grief about you, my hut Of straws made, grief.

For we have a great woe - no bread for us can be earned, I have to go far, then. Yet grief are for you, highs of mine, My green ones, grief.

Grief for you, too, jays gray-feathered, Who'd care of you in three winters, Grief for you too, grief. For for that, too, I'd have to go, Into that land of Gamery.

Grief is for you, my land, Where's my father and mother 're left, Grief are for you, grief. But even so we have woe - I shall not go, Into the land of Gamery."

On my tender moment - it is of the most demure and sole-toned translation, I hope anyone would be loved by heart to share their own and delicate!<ззз

Thank you for asking once more and for your warm words, @ariinamaze!<зз

Could fly to the edge of the worlds, As wind that plays in our land. Such woe for you, too, birds of shade - Who shall care for you so far away if I am at the domes of my tents? Still such woe for you, my dearest home House of dust, nest out of stone, my poor thing.

Continuing the spring songs theme, a slightly more obscure one...

Святослав Вакарчук - Чайка (Seagull)

And you waited for spring so much,

The spring that's tender, strong and bright,

As it's similar to love...
