Story behind the song
An old Ukrainian favourite by Volodymyr Ivasiuk which is now regarded as one of Ukraines mose popular traditional songs. I've added an extra verse, originally to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his death but also as its independence day, as a comment on his uktimate dream which now, thankfully has happened!
Lyrics
Picture for song: Volodymyr Ivasiuks grave memorial statue at Lychakivsky cemetary Lviv, pic used for CD Rokovyny.
You all know the first two verses, so here is my humble addition:
Vy preyznaytes meni, chomy vy mene vbyly.
Za Ridnu Pisnyu strazhdav azh do samoyi mohyly
A Moya pisnya zhyve u serdychni nadiyi
Shcho vona voskresne U Vilni Ukrayini!
