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!
Written by David Gilmour, Andriy Khlyvnyuk and Stepan Charnetskii

- Comment from author about the poem: Yesterday I heard that Pink Floyd had got back together to record a song to help those suffering in Ukraine, Pink Floyd are one of my favourite groups and it is good to see them together again.
