The Undeclared War soundtrack - Под ракитою / Under a Willow (Russian folk song)

[@violetverigo]

Lyrics (RU / ENG): Под ракитою зелёной Казак раненый лежал еее ой да под зелёной Казак раненый лежал Прилетела птица-ворон Начал каркать над кустом Ай над ним вился чёрный ворон Чуя лакомый кусок. Ты не каркай чёрный ворон Над моею головой еее ой да чёрный ворон. Я казак ещё живой! Ты слетай-ка чёрный ворон, К отцу, к матери домой И передай платок кровавый Моей жиньке молодой. Ты скажи-ка, чёрный ворон Что женился на другой, Что нашёл себе невесту В чистом поле за рекой! --- Oh, beneath the weeping willow, Warrior was lying there. Oh-oh, beneath the willow, Warrior was lying there. Raven was there circling over. It was croaking over him. It was thinking, it was over. It was waiting for a meal. Stop your mournful croaking, Raven, Stop you circling in the sky. Oh-oh, stop it, Raven. Fly away. I'm still alive. Fly away, away, you, Raven, There you'll find my parent's house. Take my shawl, soar up and take it To my young and tender wife. Fly away and tell her, Raven - I have married the other girl. In the prairie, I have married - That's what you'll be telling her. lyricstranslate.com

Movie The Undeclared War brought me here. Amazing voice and song!

[@isabellecomby324]

absolutely sublime, so sad and so beautiful

[@josephburns9337]

This is what it sounds like if there is a heaven. I can’t stop watching. Absolutely gorgeous, in every way.

[@violetverigo]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@guyt2030]

This is my favourite russian folk song - you're incredible!

[@violetverigo]

@@guyt2030 thank you so much 🥰

[@bayrockwhk]

Just beautiful! You don't need Russian to appreciate this song. Well done, lady...and thanks for sharing this.

[@violetverigo]

@@bayrockwhk thank you so much for the kind words 🥰

[@TheMurkator]

Even without understanding a single word this choice of song and voices was great. It gave so much underlying emotions to the scenes. Desperation, hopelessness, powerlessness, looming danger. Just the voices gave an understanding of what it's about and hearing them brought tears and goosebumps to my eyes more than once. Thank you for this performance and enrichment of my life.

[@violetverigo]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰

Under the green broom The Cossack was lying wounded Under the green The Cossack was lying wounded A bird has arrived, oh raven He began to croak over the bush A black raven was hovering over him, Smelling a tasty morsel. Don't you croak, black raven, Over my head. The black raven. I'm a Cossack still alive. You fly down, black raven, To my father's to my mother's home. Pass the bloody handkerchief My zhinka is young. You tell me, black raven, That he married someone else. That he found a bride in An open field across the river. There was a quiet-smyrna wedding, Under a broom bush. Quiet, under a broom bush. Matchmaker is the saber of the east. The damask bayonet was a friend. The Sabre of the East The damask bayonet was a friend. The field got married quickly, Married under the ground. The field is fast. Married under the ground.

[@violetverigo]

There are lyrics in the video description (both Russian and an English translation)

[@TheMurkator]

@@violetverigo Thank you. I had already searched for a translation myself. My first comment was referring to me hearing it for the first time without any translation. P.S.: I posted this before but with the wrong account :D

[@Chicken-x6q6d]

I couldn't have put it better myself, I felt the same why which is why I looked it up. This in the scenes gave me that feeling of being sat on a summer evening watching a large thunderstorm on the horizon slowly move in and surround me.

[@cynocephalusw]

A hidden gem in the vastness of the Internet.

[@violetverigo]

Oh thank you 🥰

[@maxenceragot9769]

The first time this haunting beauty came onto the show I went blind I was so consumed listening. It moves me beyond words, lent a depth to a good show that had a sublime synergistic effect. Thank you for what you put into this music. One life ever more enriched. Gratitude.

If this song had been sung on Game of Thrones instead of The Undeclared War, it would have millions of views right now. Just perfect.

Боже ж ты мой, как красиво!!! Пожалуйста продолжай!

Благодарю 🥰

[@jakezig]

C'est simplement magnifique

[@violetverigo]

Merci beaucoup 🥰

[@paladinmaid2334]

I think the most poignant time that this plays is when some soldiers from Royal Signals are the ones hitting the "enter" button on an attack on Russia, and they're doing it cause being in uniform means it's a military act. That blew my mind.

Putin needs to hear this song... Maybe it will make him stop the insane invasion of Ukraine.

[@MatveyGordeev663]

Putin did not build military bases near NATO countries

[@mouss69200]

[@MinMovieMaker]

This song is incredibly annoying and ruins the scenes it is played on. The Undeclared War is excellent but I have to try and ignore it or turn off the sound and read subtitles. The suspense and tension are dissipated by this terrible choice.

[@игорь-ж9т4ю]

You'll never been victory RUSSIAN.
