Nouns
ONE RED BERRY TREE
ОДНА КАЛИНА ЗА ВІКНОМ
(Слова В. Куровського музика Р.Квінта)
Listen to the song
It is sad, it’s extremely sad
Don’t look at me, play, musician, play!
It’s chilly, chilly inside my soul
Take away what you want, just leave for me…
Refrain (twice):
One red berry tree outside the window
One family at the table
One path that always gets me home
One love for a whole life
One sorrow to forget
And Ukraine, because we have no other.
It is sad, it’s extremely sad
So, why are you crying? Play, musician, play!
A teardrop won’t wash away your grief
Pour, Cossack, because we still have…
Refrain (the same as before)
I’m sad and I won’t fall asleep
I’d better think about my spring
And I will reach the skyline
For the first time, like for the last time, play, musician, play!
Refrain:
About one red berry tree outside the window
One family at the table
One path that always gets me home
One love for a whole life
One sorrow to forget
And Ukraine, because we have no other.
About one red berry tree outside the window
One family at the table
One path that always gets me home
One love for a whole life
One sorrow to forget
And Ukraine, because we have no other.
One red berry tree outside the window
One family at the table
One path that always gets me home
One love for a whole life
One sorrow to forget
And Ukraine, because we have no other.
