Lyrics
My eyes meet every train, as it passes on the track
Which goes to my land when I’m in a far away country.
I dream to go back there, with the yellow fields and green gardens,
Where my parents were born
In far away country I say that I’m from Ukraine
Even though it seems so far away
Chorus
Ukraine, answer me, why?
When I’m so far away
You are living in my dreams
You keep a hold on my heart;
Don’t ever let go of my soul
There is my childhood and my first love
There are my friends and my family
I will return home some day, where my mother waits for me and will never forget
