Для *украинцев, проживающих в Великобритании хороший урок освоения английского:
Dearest Mother of Mine
Dearest Mother of Mine, you had many sleepless nights
You led me to the fields next to the village
And on my long journey, you saw me off at dawn
And gave me an embroidered towel for luck
And on my long journey, you saw me off at dawn
And gave me an embroidered towel for luck and destiny
Let the dewy road blossom on it
Along with the green glens and groves full of nightingales
And your faithful, kind, motherly smile
And your sad, dear eyes
And your faithful, kind, motherly smile
And your sad, dear, blue eyes
I'll take this towel, and unfold it as if destiny
In the quiet, rustling meadows, and chirping oak-woods
And on this little towel, will live the familiar pain
My childhood, separation, and unconditional love
And on this little towel, will live all the familiar pain
My childhood, separation, and your motherly love.
