A Ukrainian Girl
Lyrics by Andriy Demydenko
Music by Gennadiy Tatarchenko
Lots of various khanes
Took me captive, using guns.
They whipped and mauled me.
Many times enthralled me.
They whipped and mauled me
They failed to make my hair curl
I revived from my tear, a pearl.
it occurred since I am a Ukrainian girk.
Refrain:
Out fellows used to say I’m a blooming beed
And my phrases sing and play, words like spring
streams sceed.
That the music from my heart makes them dance and whirl.
But I’m just my nation’s part, a Ukrainian girl
Translated from Ukrainian by Olexandr Gawinskiy
