This song is a reminder to the world of what the Ukrainian people are going through right now. It is the song of a mother who was unable to save her child. It is pain and strength at the same time; it is a mother’s love that becomes armor and protection. It is the resilience and courage of the Ukrainian people who, despite all trials, are fighting for freedom not only for Ukraine, but for the whole world.
Song lyrics:
Sleep, my son
Don't open your eyes
Luli, luli, lullaby
I am here, I'm holding you
Through the night,Luli, luli, lullaby
I will beg the world, please
Don't save my life, Luli, luli, lullaby
Just let me hold your soul again
On the other side
Luli, luli, lullaby
Freedom has a name
It's a light the darkness wants to kill
Forgive me, I am made of love, not steel
I couldn't be your shield
Freedom has a name
It is the sound of a broken heart
Forgive my hands, were only warm and soft not cold and heavy armor.
Tonight the mothers sleep a different way.
Luli, luli, lullaby
Holding their children until the day
Luli, luli, luli, ullaby
They cover up life with their bodies like shields
Luli, luli, lullaby
The strongest armor that a human can build is a mother's love
Luli, luli, lullaby
Freedom has a name
It's a light the darkness wants to kill
Forgive me, I am made of love, not steel
I couldn't be your shield
Freedom has a name
It is the sound of a broken heart
Forgive my hands, were only warm and soft
Not cold and heavy armor
So Luli, luli, lullaby
