I note that both Ukraine and the Naval Academy use the colors Blue and Gold, and I also note the use of the Trident by both. God bless Ukraine !

One Translation - Oh, duckling floats on Tisyna* Duckling floats on Tisyna. My mother, don't weap for me, My mother, don't lament for me. Oh, if you will swear me at the darkest hour, If you will swear me at the darkest hour. I don't know where I'll die, I don't know where I'll die. Oh, I'll die in foreign lands I will die in foreign lands. Who will prepare a grave for me? Who will prepare a grave for me? Oh, strangers will bury me, Strangers will bury me Won't you regret it, mother? Won't you regret it, mother? Oh, my son, how could I not regret? My son, how could I not regret? You were laying on my heart, You were laying on my heart. Oh, duckling floats on Tisyna Duckling floats on Tisyna. *Tisnya is a river in western Ukraine

Wow.......tears in my eyes. While I know nothing about Ukraine, my love and respect for the people and the armed forces of Ukraine are foremost. I would gladly serve if I could to help secure your country. Yours is a fight for freedom of all free men and women.

[@arsenya1]

Thank you for Ukrainian culture! 🇺🇦❤️

[@aserdogman]

Just thank you. Flawlessly expressed how haunting the Pikardiyska Tertsiya version is

[@UsmihNeHasne]

Powerful! Thank you guys!

[@MarthalieThurstonSachemPiper]

Hauntingly comforting with wonderful harmony

As an Englishman living now in Romania, next to the war and being a 15 year Army veteran myself, this was moving. I know the song, as it also became an anthem after the Maidan murders, but it is so significant now, its a beautiful haunting tribute to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. I have been in and out doing aid runs and heading back in a couple of weeks, and seeing members of the USN singing such a symbolic song in Ukrainian is just an awesome tribute, keeps me motivated too. Its things like this that also help motivate those in Ukraine to keep fighting despite being tired, they get the sense they are not alone. Salute to you guys, we need to show Russia we are united against them and that in 2022 you can't just walk into a country, kill its people and destroy it. God Bless to you all who continue to serve and LEST WE FORGET those in Ukraine who have already given their lives. Bravo guys 👍

[@ЕленаБеребелюх]

After many years of war, Ukrainians have become not as emotional as they were before, but there are a couple of songs that you turn on and cry like a little girl every time, this is one of them, thank you for the wonderful performance and thank you to all the people who help us and worry about us 🙏

according to the BBC’s Irena Taranyuk. She translates two of the most moving lines of the song this way: “My dear mother, what will happen to me if I die in a foreign land?” “Well, my dearest, you will be buried by other people.”
