UKRAINE
I LIVE IN UKRAINE WHERE I GROW WHEAT.
I HAVE 6 CHILDREN.
MY LIFE’S BEEN SWEET.
I DON’T REMEMBER U.S.S.R.
WE HAVE OUR FREEDOM.
IT’S WHO WE ARE.
YOU ARE INVADERS. THIS IS MY HOME.
I WILL NOT LEAVE HERE. I’LL DIE ALONE
WE HAVE ALL THAT YOU HAVE.
MOUNTAINS, LAKES AND STREAMS.
WE TAKE VACATIONS. WE HAVE OUR DREAMS. THE INVASION TOOK ALL THAT.
IN THE COURSE OF DAYS.
OUR FARMS ARE ON FIRE.
OUR CITIES IN A HAZE.
YOU ARE INVADERS THIS IS MY HOME
I WILL NOT LEAVE HERE I’LL DIE ALONE
I LOVE MY CITY
WE CALL IT KYIV. (Pronounced Keave)
YOU HAVE YOUR CITY.
I HAVE MY CITY.
I WILL NOT LEAVE.
WE ARE SURROUNDED NO AIR SUPPORT
I’M OUT OF GOOD NEWS I CAN REPORT
SO ONE LAST TIME DRINK TO MY HEALTH.
MY WORDS FOR PUTIN- GO F*CK YOURSELF.
