Love this reaction. First singer who is singing is actually Jerry and a rapper is Alyona. Fun fact, she actually used to be a school teacher before she became a rapper. Performance basically reflects the song. Jerry appears as a woman who walks through terrainous path, reflecting suffering Ukrainian women (people) went through for decades, culminating in what is happening now, with the phosphorus like bombs falling down as she reaches the top, and (presumably) dies. Alyona Alyona is surrounded by the shadows of the ancestors, who are watching over Ukrainians now. Jerry appears on the screen, presumably becoming Holy and joining ancestors. All women at the end, are Ukrainian women who persevere despite what is happening now. (This is the way I understood the performance, as a Ukrainian- I am sure it goes even deeper than this) 💙💛

[@jukaua]

This is the best explanation, thank you 💔

[@nellkells3290]

As another Ukrainian I totally agree with your interpretation. It also occurred to me that initial scene colours represent out national colours - yellow path and blue water

[@Валентина-и6ч7и]

Альона працювала вихователькою в дитячому садку, в маленькому містечку біля Києва

[@Olesia_MP]

Also, something about water - it's Kahovska dumb, what was destroyed by ruSSians.

[@ishort0967]

Ukraine is well represented ☺️. Thank you for bringing the lyrics..wonderful reaction ☺️❤️‼️

[@Саша-х8я1в]

the translation killed me, original lyrics mean sooo much more. it's about war, life, hope, pain, missiles, ancestors... truly the deepest song of the eurovision

[@Meaningfull700]

Thank you🙏

[@lightefilit]

It's not about any of that LOL. The visual symbolism perhaps, but the song is about women's strength in a face of hardships (such as war, but not specifically).

[@RINA55789]

😘😘😘Thanks for support Ukraine

[@mastermovie5532]

💛💙 Thank you very much for your reaction! The main message of the song (repeated also in English) is that all the divines were born as human beings, so it's up to the individuals how they walk their path, up to sainthood. And in the rap part, it's about overcoming the pressure from the society and obstacles, with the support from ancestors being always with us. "Teresa" is Mother Teresa who was revered all over the world for her humanitarian work, and "Maria" is Virgin Mary (Maria). I will translate: Intro: A spring, spring, spring breaks its way, Whatever happens, the world is on her shoulders. The path, path, path is rocky and winding, But know that your happiness is in your hands. Chorus: With us are Mother Theresa and Virgin Mary, Barefoot, like on the blades, they've walked the Earth. With us Mama Teresa, Diva Maria All the Divas were born as a human being. 1. We were trying to find our way since we were little, But life is like a loop for those who are falling. Even a little girl carries on her shoulders A vat full of pain, and thinks that it's her fault Again she's not the way she should be: too soft, The clothes hang on her bones [too skinny], [looks] half-naked, or getting married. "Where is your child?" "What does your life look like?" "You're not getting younger! And the end is nearing" And if someone wants us to break down, And even if your energy is close to zero, And even if someone hides hate and envy behind a smile, [And even] when you let anger in your heart instead of kindness and love [Know that] there are saints in Heaven, their feet walked this Earth, That's why your walk among thorns isn't fatuous. And even if sometimes it'll be very dark, scary and hard, But your ancestors will always follow you from Heaven. Chorus.

[@twelvetoes-e9n]

Props for recognizing the absolute mastery in Jerry Heil's singing. She has been at it for a while and is actually now studying film scoring at Berkley College of Music. And Alonya Alonya is IMO one of the best rappers to come out of the whole European continent. Go check out her whole catalog. I love that she raps in Ukrainian too because it seems like such a fun bouncy language to rap in. Alot of her lyrics are like a whole metaphor sandwich, layers and layers, which is probably why it doesnt translate very well.

[@nightcat2076]

Personal thanks for your real reaction. There are so many of those out there but 99% of them end up just saying that they love the song, vocals and visuals....but for some reason nobody really is digging into the lyrics. So thank you so much for doing that. Therer are already a bunch of good comments explaining the meaning of the song. so I will leave it to the rest. Thanks again for the proper reaction to the song.

[@tanitauk8888]

В словах пісні та в перформансі багато відсилань до війни, яка продовжується: частини лат на одязі співачок; підйом, який символізує подолання труднощів; фейерверк - це відсилання до фосфорних бомб, якими обстрілюють українців. Наприкінці виступу - це зображення янголів, в яких перетворились вбиті та замучені українці. Тому вони і розташовані, як на куполі у храмі. Ми всі перебуваємо під загрозою, тому що ворог ще не подолан.

[@gardenlove6356]

Thank you my friend Thank for support Ukraine 🇺🇦 The best performance this year. Winner 2024 🏆

[@ИринаГоловач-в2ы]

Thank you so much for your reaction! Thank you for supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦 I think the main message of the song is that all the divines or strong female figures in the world were first of all human beings, so it's up to the individuals how they walk their path, up to sainthood. This song is about sisterhood, female solidarity. Intro: A stream, stream, stream breaks its way, Whatever happens, the world is on her shoulders. (When Jerry start to sing about stream, the water started to flow on the scene under her feets through the rocks. Water makes its way like every human its own life). The pathway, pathway, pathway is rocky and winding, But know that your happiness is in your hands. (You will have testings, obstacles, difficults on your way, but remember, your happiness is in your own hands - in this moment Jerry king it over the river). I’m not holy, A’m alive. (I think it means every person is not perfect, not holy, we make mistakes). Chorus: With us are Mother Theresa and Virgin Mary, Barefoot, like on the blades, they've walked the Earth. With us Mama Teresa, Diva Maria All the Divas were born as a human being. (At this moment Jerry started to climbing the mountain, which means difficults in life, struggle. Also the visions may symbolizing phosphor bombs - struggle of our nation (Ukraine) nowadays, in particular women. "Teresa" is Mother Teresa who was revered all over the world for her humanitarian work, and "Maria" is Virgin Mary (Maria). Boht of them were human beings, but there life, and how they pass life tests were incredible and made them Divas). The rap part: We were trying to find our way since we were little, But life is like a loop for those who are falling. Even a little girl carries on her shoulders A vat full of pain, and knows that it is a fault (it's about overcoming the pressure from the society) . Again she's not the way she should be(expectations of other people, of society) : too soft (plus size), The clothes hang on her bones (too skinny), [looks] half-naked, or getting married (lot of clothes - too shy). "Where is your child?" "What does your life look like?" "You're not getting younger! And the end is nearing" (the idea that woman will be realized in her life only when she have husband and children). And if someone wants us to break down, And even if your energy is close to zero, And even if someone hides hate and envy behind a smile, [And even] when you let anger in your heart instead of kindness and love [Know that] there are saints in Heaven, their feet walked this Earth, That's why your walk among thorns isn't fatuous. And even if sometimes it'll be very dark, scary and hard, But your ancestors will always follow you from Heaven. (The shadows on the screen (female siluets) symbolize our ancestors, our mothers, grandmothers that look after us from heaven). In this moment Jerry and Alyona go towards each other halfway, give each other a hand that means solidarity, then turn around back to back to each other which means that they protect each other's rear. And finaly they lay on a scene where we see a lot of females - symbol of women all over the world - very different, but very unic.

4:06 - Those shadows represent Ukrainian prisoners of war that are being kept and tortured in russia.

[@argumentativelysound2001]

Ukrainian is a painful language to translate to English and word per word translations almost never work. To answer your question, I'll try to convey the exact meaning: and stick to original tekst as much as I can: "And even though there are those who wish us broken (wish to break us), As you are on your last drop of strength, (elbow - finger part) Let them hide their hatred and envy behind smiles, If your heart accepts anger instead of love and compassion." Though it's still a bit rough, in Ukrainian it all sounds smooth, It should give you a better idea.

[@yuki_hikariko99]

Teresa and Maria are Italian names

[@margit6521]

They are names of saints (Mother Teresa of Albania and Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus (also known as Holy Mother). Both strong women who suffered in their lives but also took care ox others, like ukrainian women are doing now, raising childeren, nursing the wounded etc.

Ukraina 🇺🇦🔥🔥🔥🥹

[@Anticnij]

This song has two parallel meanings. A woman is like a person on whose shoulders fall the hardships of this world and a Ukrainian woman who is experiencing destruction from the enemy. But the saints, Teresa and the Virgin Mary will not abandon those in need. And no matter how hard it is for you, you will get up, spread your wings and resurrect. The falling lights are phosphorus shells falling on the heads of Ukrainians. And the people in the cages are the souls of tortured and killed Ukrainian soldiers in Russian captivity.

💛💙 Hi! I'm from Kherson, a city in the south of Ukraine. You all know about us... You know about the occupation, then about Chernobayevka, then about 11.11.22 (about the liberation of Kherson), then about the blowing up of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station by Russian troops and the major flooding, all this time 24/7 russian troops (we call them "orcs") systematically destroy my city. I was and remain here. I'm a volunteer. It's impossible to convey in a few sentences all the pain that russia has caused us. And of course, not only to Kherson, but to the whole, ALL! of Ukraine! Many have died, many are fighting and will continue to fight. Our girls, mothers, grandmothers - they are the ones who deserve to bear the title of saints, they are our rear, they always think about those who are at the front. This is what this composition is about! I am very grateful to our representatives at Eurovision for sending such a message! You all - all the people of Europe, all the people of democratic countries must understand that EVIL is happening now, it needs to be stopped! Ukraine is now an outpost. If this is not done - there may not be another Eurovision. There will be a world war. This is the depth of this song! Please take this seriously! Otherwise, you will hear air raids and exploding shells nearby, just like I hear them now and all the time since 24.02.22! Thank you. Thank you for talking about us! Thank you for remembering us! Thank you for helping us! Glory to Ukraine!

Thank you for an amazing reaction! The rap part is sang by Alyona Alyona) This song is about strong women of Ukraine who despite the realities of war have to work, raise their children and wait for their sons and husbands who protect our land. In a rap part it is about all the expectations that a modern woman has to face: to look pretty, to be successfull, to be a wife and a mother and to have a beautiful body...which is basically a demand and noone should face these struggles because each woman must decide her own fate!

Proper translation of the song for you❤️ Much love from Ukraine! Jerry Heil and the chorus: *** Water source makes way for itself Whatever happens, she carries the world on her shoulders The pathways are winding and rocky But remember your happiness is in your own hands Ooooh burn baby burn I’m not holy, I’m alive With us mother Teresa and Virgin Mary Barefoot they walked on earth as if on a blade With us mama Theresa and Diva Maria All the divas were born as human beings Hey ya hey ya hey ya Hey ya hey ya hey ya Hey ya hey ya hey ya Hey hey hey hey Alyona Alyona: *** From a young age, we were looking for a way to be But life is a loop rope, as if for those who fall A girl that is still little Carries a bucket of pain on her shoulders and thinks it’s all her fault There’s always something wrong with you, you’re either too soft Or skinny, or naked, or should’ve been married already Where’s your baby? Your life is worthless! The years fly by! The end is near! So someone always wants to break us down And sometimes your battery runs really low And sometimes people hide hatred and envy behind a smile When you let kindness and love into your heart instead But there are saints in heaven, their feet walked this earth you know your path is thorny, and that’s why it’s the one worth taking And even when it’s very scary and dark and sometimes hard Our ancestors will always watch over us from heaven

The song and the performance itself are full of symbolism. Jerry Hale's outfit is a burnt dress (a symbol of the fire of war). The river that spills under your feet is blown up by the explosions of the Ikakhovka hydroelectric power station. Яскраві жовті вогні це не салют, а фосфорні,заборонені, бомби, які неможливо загасити поки вони не вигорять самі.. це пісня про стійкість, насамперед - жінок. Вони вільні обирати свій шлях, можуть стати святою дівою і цілителькою Терезою. Все у їх руках..миру всім❤
