The Ukrainian lyrics in English:
Verba – Willow tree
A lonely willow tree stays in the field.
It is bended above the river.
It let its branches down,
It cries and fights…
Our language is like one of a nightingale.
Our land is the one and only.
Willow tree
A lonely willow tree
Is bended.
A lonely willow tree
Lonely…
Our souls are flying nearby,
They are praising their land.
Its branches are waving in the wind.
There are sprouts – you and me.
Our language is like one of a nightingale.
Our land is the one and only.
Willow tree
A lonely willow tree
Is bended.
A lonely willow tree
Lonely…
MOTANKA about their debut LP:
“For the album we recorded ancient instruments: dulcimer, ocarina and throat singing, combined with modern technologies, new instruments and analog sound. This album is like our child, it grew, it learnt and became stronger and stronger. Every piece of the album is saturated with the mystical nature of Ukraine. We wrote most of the songs in our hometown Lutsk – the mystical center of Ukraine. The power of the region remained and still is the same for ages. We have prepared the album for many years and are very excited to finally present it via Napalm Records.”
