@snailboat She is sweet ))

Ukrainian song of the day:

Зажурились Галичанки (Українська Стрілецька пісня)

►

A Galician song from 1914 really, when Galicia was not part of Ukraine yet

But they spoke Ukrainian

>
- Why oh why, Galician sweethearts, are your hearts so heavy?
- Cause you're leaving for Ukraine, riflemen by levy.
Who will kiss our hazel eyes now, who will make us merry,
Who will kiss our sable brows and our lips of cherry?

The riflemen reply: "hey, there's the standing army, and they can kiss just as well"

So it's a jolly song

Hey, I remodeled it a bit to suit the song's meter

(Who will kiss our sable brows and lips of cherry?
Who will marvel at our eyes and make us merry?")
