In Gedanken an die Ukraine
Aus dem Newsletter des WOMEN'S VOCAL ENSEMBLE KITKA vom 22.12.2022:
OJ, JAK ŽE BULO IZPREŽDY VIKA
(Oh, how it was before time began)
Gruzky village, Kyiv-Svyatošinskyi district, Ukraine
from the repertoire of Žyvytsia
arr. Kelly Atkins, inspired by an interpretation by the Eteria Choir of L’viv
English translation of Ukrainian text:
Oh, how it was before time began
Refrain: Oh, God, let it be...
When there was no sky and earth
When there was only the blue sea
Lights burned on that sea
And the holy ones sat around the lights
Holding a council to decide whom to send into the sea.
"Oh, go, sister, to the bottom of the sea
And bring back some golden sand.
Let us sow it all over the world
So that the sky and Earth will be born.
The sky full with stars,
And the Earth covered with flowers."
Heartfelt thanks to Nadia Tarnawsky for translation assistance.
