about

We, Slavalachians, the Ukrainian, Belarusian, and American folk alliance that believes in UNITY through shared music, cultural preservation and propagation, and a spirit of global community, stand firmly with my Ukrainian and Belarusian brothers and sisters. We demand to STOP THE WAR. We STAND WITH UKRAINE!
This is another song from our upcoming album, but awful Russian military aggression and real war forced us to release it earlier. This is an old-times Ukrainian song about a mother mourning the loss of her son to war.
We dedicate this song to Ukrainian Warriors who bravely fought for the freedom, their land, their nation, but left on a battlefield.
Слава Україні! Героям слава!

lyrics

Закувала зозуліна, в вишневім садочку
Оплакала, мати сина на жовтім пісочку

Ой як вона не плакала, як не голосила
Беруть, беруть у солдати хорошого сина

Іди, іди мій синочку, іди не барися
За год, за два, за чотири тай назад вернися

Ой рад би я моя ненько додому вернуться
Подо мною кінь вороний на копит спіткнувсь

Як зачуєш моя ненько, що я тут залежу
Даси товаришу доносить одежу

Ой лучше я мій синочку по тину розкину
Тяжко-важко наряжати чужую дитину

Translation:
Cuckoo sang in the cherry orchard
The mother cried for her son on the yellow sand

She did not cry as she announced
Because her good son was taken to the soldiers

Go-go, my son, go, do not hesitate
Come home in one, two or four years

Oh, I would be glad, my mother, return home
But below me a raven horse stumbled on its hooves

When you'll hear, my mother, that I'm lying here
Give to my friend to wear my clothes

Oh, I'd better scatter it, my son, on the mud
It is very difficult to dress up someone else's child, not mine
