about

My Baba bids farewell to my Dido at the end of his life. A choir sings a Ukrainian stanza from Думи Mої (Dumy Moye), an old folk song by Ukrainian poet/folk hero, Taras Shevchenko.

lyrics

For all the light that you showed me
For all of the stars in your eyes
For all of the places we’ll never see
For all that we left behind

For every thought where you hold me
For every night you were here with me
For the life that you gave to our family
Generations in our eyes

You’re just a place that I know
You’re just a place that I know
You’re just a place that I know
For now

For the country buried inside you
For the village still in your bones
For the old songs we laid beside you
And the motherland calling you home

You’re just a place that I know
You’re just a place that I know
You’re just a place that I know
For now

Думи мої, Думи мої
Квіти мої, діти!
Виростав вас, доглядав вас
Де ж мені вас діти?
