Hey - Hey Rise Up,

It brought tears to my eyes,

Pink Floyd were back,

Back for a reason.

Ukraine had moved them

As it has moved me.

A song had to be written,

Written and recorded,

Showing this world

That Ukraine is alive

Despite the ravages of war.

I listened to the song,

Read the words

And the tears streamed,

Streamed from my heart.

They will rise from the war,

And peace will come,

Come to them all,

As Pink  Floyd sing,

Sing Hey – Hey Rise Up.

 

Translation of the song on the video.

In the meadow a red viburnum has bent down low
Our glorious Ukraine has been troubled so
And we’ll take that red viburnum and we will raise it up
And we, our glorious Ukraine shall, hey – hey, rise up – and rejoice!
And we’ll take that red viburnum and we will raise it up
And we, our glorious Ukraine shall, hey – hey, rise up and rejoice!
