Rome, 15 May 2022 – Ukraine’s success at Eurovision was also not well received by Moscow. And after the cluster, thermobaric and phosphorus bombs, now on the Azovstal they could be dropped those with the words of the Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra, uttered by the band precisely to save those barricaded in the steel plant, according to Ukrainian media.
kyiv: pump your Azovstal to phosphorus
The complaint came from the councilor of the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andriushchenko, who published some (unverifiable) images on Telegram showing the bombs still intact, with written in English and Russian made with a black marker and yesterday’s date. Among these there are the words of By Psjukfrontman of the Ukrainian band, pronounced at the end of the song contest: “Help Mariupol, help Azovstal, now.” The Ukrinform site also speaks of a Russian inscription: “Kalush, as you asked. On Azovstal”, while another bomb reads “Eurovision 2022 and ‘Azov’. While in English it reads” Help Mariupol – Help Azovstal right now “.
“Ukraine can win the war”. What the NATO secretary said
Eurovision was a parenthesis during the war, but nothing else: the same members of the Ukrainian band after winning declared that they will return to their homeland immediately to fight. “It’s hard to say what’s going to happen now, it’s the first time we’ve won Eurovision. We have a temporary permit to be in Turin: tomorrow we must be back and like every Ukrainian we are ready to fight, as we can and for as long as we can. “A win that is useful in any case:” Every success at this moment is full of meaning for Ukraine. Our culture has been attacked and we are also here to show that it is alive and has its own distinctive mark. ”
The appeal to help Mariupol risked costing Ukrainian musicians their elimination, but the organization turned a blind eye and considered it a humanitarian message. But that TV call for help for the Azovstal would now be written about the bombs that are supposed to rain over the steel mill.
The Kalush Orchestra’s success at Eurovision was greeted with great joy at homeOlena Zelenska, the first lady of Ukraine, the band exalted: now “the whole world will sing the song about the Ukrainian mother”. “Mrs. Stefania, mother of Oleh Psiuk”, wrote Zelensky’s wife referring to the lyrics of the song thought of as a love letter to her mother, “together with you we are proud of your son. Together with you we rejoice in the incredible victory of the Kalush Orchestra at Eurovision “. “I congratulate the Kalush Orchestra and all Ukrainians on this victory,” added the First Lady.
The song ‘Stefania’ translated
Mother Stefania, Stefania my mother
The field is in bloom, but her hair is turning gray
Madre, cantami la ninna nanna
I want to hear your dear word
It rocked me as a child, it gave me a rhythm,
And you can’t take the willpower out of me, like I took it from her
I think he knew more than King Solomon.
I will always find my way home, even if all roads are destroyed
He wouldn’t wake me even if there was a storm outside
Or if there was a storm between her and her grandmother,
he trusted me more than anyone else
even when she was tired, she continued to rock me
Ninna nanna, ninna nanna
Mother Stefania, Stefania my mother
The field is in bloom, but her hair is turning gray
Madre, cantami la ninna nanna
I want to hear your dear word
I am no longer a child, but he will always treat me as such
I’m no longer a kid, but he keeps worrying about me every time I go out
Mother, you are still young. If I don’t appreciate your kindness, I’m heading for a dead end
But my love for you has no end.
Mother Stefania, Stefania my mother
The field is in bloom, but her hair is turning gray
Madre, cantami la ninna nanna
I want to hear your dear word
