This is the Ukrainian National Choir. They start singing just prior to the 25th minute. These people are us,
they are you. It is heartbreaking.
Curse of the Ukrainian Woman
I shall rain curses on all of Russia
mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
on babies forming in womb and crib
on its lands, its skies, its crops and rivers
never to be raised until the debt
to Ukraine is paid, in full.
I shriek and I shriek the sacred
maledictions to the impassive eye.
I will wake You. I will wake You.
You shall listen.
My people are no less than Russians.
Would you inflict these horrors upon yourselves?
Your humanity dangles in this web
of affliction, silver with bloody dew
it drips and sinks into our sweet land.
Our song will swell in tides of blood
our harmonies will surge and flow
alive, alive - one mute can hum melody,
and the song shall survive.
Putin, damn him, is the neighbourhood
bully. He slits your lover's throat
and now jackboots this dying body.
Have you forgotten the Nazi assault
just yesterday? The tragic slaughter?
You do the same to us.
In Mariupol a wife reaches for her man.
In Kiev a mother searches for her child.
Putin, you putrid black Deceiver
this is no religious war
there is no such speck in the eye
of Eternity. Where is compassion
empathy, love and forgiveness?
There shall be no forgiveness for you.
You shall die by your own hand
the relentless whispers of the dead
in your head, following you.
God hides not in buildings
nor in missile warheads
delivering hate, fear, death
and destruction and the billowing
black smoke of dismay.
I shriek and I shriek the sacred
maledictions to the impassive eye
I will wake You. I will wake You.
You shall listen.
On Putin's religious affiliation/affliction check Tim Costello's article in The Guardian. Quite fascinating.
