Okean Elzy

A Friend Posted (and Translated the Lyrics) this:

“Not Your War" by the amazing Ukrainian band Okean Elzy (Океан Ельзи)”


This beautiful song has been on my mind as my heart is aching for all the innocent people of Ukraine suffering from the war right now 😢 If anyone is interested, I will put the English translation in the comments.

(English Translation)

Not your war

Battle at dawn.

Smoke and the sun.

Few people know

What will become of them.

What will the young hearts feel tomorrow?

Some will have faith, some will have fear.

Kalina (viburnum) branches are bending.

Mother, who did we pray to?

How many more of your children will she take?

The war that is not yours.

Daughters and sons

Grown old.

Colorful dreams they would see

Kissing the hands of the liars

Giving up days for peaceful nights.

Kalina (viburnum) branches are bending.

Mother, who did we pray to?

How many more of your children will she take?

The war that is not yours.

We all used to be fine.

Living without hardship.

Walking my own life.

Only without a goal, just drifting along.

I can’t do that, and how can you?!

Kalina (viburnum) branches are bending.

Mother, we prayed to the wrong!

How many more of your children will she take away?

The war that is not yours.
