EUROVISION CZECHIA *Reaction* Vesna - "My Sister's Crown" Official Video 2023

[@naqiszhalia9334]

This song has really deeper meaning, it is song of sisterhood and empowerment. They sing in Czech, English, Bulgarian and Ukrainian.

The song has two meanings. On the one hand it is an empowerment song for women and celebrates the togetherness of the Slavic cultures (besides English they sing in Czech, the rap is in Bulgarian and the refrain in Ukrainian, and the girls wear alienated national costumes). On the other hand, the song also alludes to the war in Ukraine. The purple men in the video are "evil Russians" who are trying to subdue Ukraine, which frees herself in the video. One of the purple men feeds the band's Russian member a borscht soup that contains letter noodles. A symbol for the Russian propaganda, which the Russian dutifully spoons out. The computer head figures in the video are a symbol for Russian media propaganda. Verses in English: "My sister's crown Don't take it down Don't take it down Nobody has right to do it She's beautiful And capable She is her own queen And she will prove it You can take your hands back No one wants more boys dead We're not your dolls We're not your dolls Life's not a moneybag Blood's on your God's head You can't steal our souls You can't steal our souls" In Ukrainian: "My beautiful sister oh you are strong Brave and the only one The crown is yours" The last sentence of the song "We stand for you" can clearly be understood as a message of solidarity to Ukraine. By the way, this is my favorite entry of this year.

Yeah, such a smart song.

I don’t think it’s necessarily borscht, it contains the “cheap socialist pasta” letters that all Czech children had to eat during communism and you wouldn’t put these into borscht but into cheap disgusting tomato soup that we all remember and hated during communism. However, the letters also form the word “bla” is in “nonsense”, alluding to misinfo, disinfo and propaganda…

Three members of the group are from Czech Republic (lead singer and founder of the group, fiddle player and drummer) one is from Slovakia (bass player), one is from Russia (piano player) and one is from Bulgaria (piano and guitar player). In this song they are using czech, anglish, ukrainian and bulgarian language with big message of support to Ukraine. Ukraine is the sister here...

[@rowaystarco]

Such a great double meaning. Is about female empowerement and sisterhood against violent men, but at the same time also about the sisterhood of Slavic nations, against the violent russia. Brilliant song, I love that there's several anti war songs supporting Ukraine this year.

@@rowaystarco Russia is one of the sisters. in russian all of this nations are female gendered(just like most countries in the world, lol) Slavic sisterhood is about pan-slavism, not "unite against that creep Russia"

[@rowaystarco]

@@MisanthropyFerret yes, there's a russian sister in the song. She's being force fed the propaganda from the monsters ruling russia. Showing that russians also are victims of putin and his corruption.

[@lukasj19999]

the purple stands for (russian) imperialism, it’s about slavic unity embracing Ukraine as their queen currently under attack by imperialism, the feeding of Borscht and the television heads symbolize russian propaganda which they feed to their citizens

top song

[@VerchielxKanda]

The official music video actually has translated lyrics if you want to go back and understand what is going on.

[@jakubslezak4520]

I'm actually really surprised that the message is so obvious to the Slavic, but apparently not the others? That is sad.

[@raggamuffin96]

*Chorus* -My beautiful sister, you are so strong Brave and the only one, the crown is yours.- They are signing about sisterhood between slavic countries, and how the biggest sister Russia doesn't have a right to bully her smaller sister Ukraine. They sing how rest of the slavic sister countries are there for Ukraine to stand by her side. They also sing in 3 slavic languages, one from every slavic language group: Czech (West slavic), Ukrainian (East slavic) and Bulgarian (South Slavic). Video is also full of symbolism referring to what they sing about, so not gonna explain that, enjoy it your way with your imagination 😊 Great reaction btw! ✌🏻

[@Vlada_ytb]

they sing about the freedom of the Czech Republic and about Ukraine, that Ukraine is not afraid to fight with Russia and that the Czech Republic is helping them in the war in Ukraine... (sorry for some mistakes, I am translating through a translator)
