LELÉKA - Suchyj Dub (LIVE MUSIC VIDEO)
This song is about aching for me. When no one in the family understands anyone, when all the relatives seem to be playing some kind of endless war and accumulate only envy and hatred to each other. The lyrics of the song include the following dialogue between a brother and a sister:
“Oh you, sister, sister, you have become so proud,
For I said "Hello!" and you stayed silent.”
“Oh my brother, brother, I did not become proud,
I didn't recognize you from behind my own tears.”
In these two sentences lies the whole truth. One is offended by his own interpretation of the behavior of another. And the other has no idea that his grief or fatigue is taken for arrogance. This is how our dramas erises of some stupid misunderstandings that we carry in our hearts for years. But somewhere deep inside, where our unchanging wise soul lives, we love each other and miss each other very much. I really believe in sun in the heart, that each of us have.
This is a very old Ukrainian folk song that we arranged for our new album "Sonce u Serci" (sun in the heart)

LYRICS:
Oh, a dry oak has grown in the field, in the field,
One brother had love for his sister until he got married.
And as he got married, and took the widow,
Then he began to cast out his own sister.
“Didn't I cook for you, brother?
Why are you casting me out so that I have to go to serve?
Didn't I wash your shirts, brother?
Why are you casting me out so that I have go and suffer?”
Oh, the sister worked in the field, in the field,
The brother rode by on a horse – unrecognized by his sister
“Oh you, sister, sister, you have become so proud,
For I said "Hello!" and you stayed silent.”
“Oh my brother, brother, I did not become proud,
I didn't recognize you from behind my own tears.”
“Oh, you sister, sister, why did you become so old?
Have you already married off your sons and daughters?”
“I haven´t married off neither my sons nor my daughters,
For someone else’s rye I harvested, someone else’s dowry I tended.”
