As I suggested, they danced on ruins in Charkow. It is a really dramatic performance. Lyrics Oh mother 5Verse 1I can still hear the blastTearing apart my nestViburnum bush in dustIs all that has been leftChorusOh, mother! I need to immerseIn your white flowers Embrace your branchSave me, motherFrom going insaneStop the bleeding, Sooth my painOh mother, mother viburnumVerse 2Ruins became my home Dead dusty airBurned streets, I roamLead me to nowhereChorusOh, mother! I need to immerseIn your white flowers Embrace your branchSave me, motherFrom going insaneStop the bleeding, Sooth my painOh mother, mother viburnumBridgeThe news hurts and poisonsCalm in calamitySirens no longer frightenNightmares of realityChorus…After chorusI don’t need anything more Then what I had before the war.// OR I don't want anything more, than how it was before the warThe old versionOh mother 4Verse 1I can still hear the blastTearing apart my nestViburnum bush in dust Is all that has been leftPre-chorusWalking on debris I reach The blooming bush.ChorusOh, mother! I need to immerseIn your white flowers Embrace your branchSave me, motherFrom going insaneInhibit bleeding, Sooth my painOh mother, mother viburnumVerse 2Ruins became my homeTired, tired of searchingDigging out or asking forEvery necessary thingVerse 3The news hurts and poisonsCalm in calamitySirens no longer frightenNightmares merge with realityChorus…After chorusI don’t need anything more than what I had before the war/ OR I don't want anything more, than how it was before the war
