Соловей, король наших летних певцов, улетает в теплые страны в середине сентября и возвращается к нам 15 апреля.

Как же романтично прекрасно...

Встать рано утром, выйти на улицу и насладится таким прекрасным пением соловья и вдохнуть дурманящий запах сирени...

Давайте забудем, что сейчас 5 утра и я прусь на работу🥺

Hold the world to its best.

With every heartbeat I have left,

I'll defend your every breath,

I

I'll

Eurovision 2020 Song Review: “Solovey” by Go_A (Ukraine)

Bird is the word

Or maybe that word should be “ptakh” as this is would have been the country’s first entry in 100% Ukrainian. Majority of their entries have been in English with the exception of “Wild Dances” and “Razom nas bahato” being partially in Ukrainian; “Dancing Lasha Tumbai” and the withdrawn 2019 entry “Siren Song” having some German; and “1944″ having a chorus in Crimean Tartar. Anyway, off to what matters most.

I did partially follow this national final, and there were some interesting entries. Jerry Heil’s “Vegan” was too out there for me, and I quite enjoyed [O]’s “Tam, kuda ya idu”. I’m not a huge fan of hip hop, yet I’d be cool with Fo Sho’s “Blck Sqr” (sadly didn’t leave the Vidbir semifinals). Khayat was (or should I say is) one of the fan favourites, but I’m not a fan of his vocal style in "Call For Love”.

Ukraine did choose the right entry. As for whether it would have made it to the final I can’t say. The lead singer uses a vocal styling in traditional Slavic music called white voice or white singing and last year the Polish entry featured this heavily. It can sound like someone or a group is shouting which may not be palatable to all ears. Compared to “Fire of Love” which features 4 vocalists, “Solovey” only features one with maybe two female backing singers (and she does break away from this style of singing for a few seconds in the song). Also I’m comparing Poland to Ukraine and it could be a regional difference in styles.

The tune is a mix of traditional folk and modern music. There are two versions of the tune, with the earlier version featuring a guitar near the end of the song (which can be heard in the performance version) while the version linked in the video and what I assume is the official version uses more flutes and and electronic percussion. I tend to like tunes that mixes modern and traditional beats so this is definitely something. It’s not a party tune but you can dance to it, even if it’s just rocking your hips or shoulders.

As for the lyrics, it’s reminiscent of a traditional folk song. Whereas “Da Vidna” by Belarus’ VAL details the story of a woman in a loveless marriage finding solace in the night, “Solovey” details the story of lovers who meet in secret as their possible marriage may not bode well with Ivan’s mother or possibly Katerina’s:

A do mene Vanyusha Ty Katrusia horosha Myla moya Katrusia Ya z toboyu lyublyusia Ya z toboyu lyublyusia Poky ne zna matusia

(and Vaniusha says to me You are beautiful Katrusia My dear Katrusia I’m loving you I’m loving you as long as mother doesn't know)

A little side note, Vanyusha and Katrusia are nicknames for Ivan and Katerina, which they would be calling each other especially if they’re super close.

As for the nightingale, it is a bird that sings at night, or in the early hours of the dawn while it’s dark out. It’s possible that whether they meet during the day or at night, the song of a nightingale signifies time passing and either one of them has to be home before their moms wake up and notice they are missing:

Solovey solovey ne spivay ranenko A meni na serdenku znov ne veselenko Solovey solovey oy yak meni buty Vmila yoho polyubyty ne vmila zabuty

Nightingale nightingale do not sing so early my heart feels no joy again Nightingale nightingale oh what should I do I could fall in love with him I could not forget him

Katerina feels happy when she is with Ivan and feels sad when they have to part. She hopes one day they can run away and have her happily ever after, but if someone discovers their relationship, it’s the end.

Yakby ya toho ne znala Ya b z toboyu ne huliala Ne hodyla v dolynu Ne lamala b kalynu Ya z toboyu lyublyusia Poky ne zna matusia A yak uzna matusia to roziydemosia

If I hadn't known that I wouldn't have gone out with you I wouldn't have gone into the valley I wouldn't have broken the guelder rose I’m loving you as long as mother doesn't know but as soon as mother finds out we will part 

Could it be possible that Katerina is having an affair with Ivan? It’s possible. Kind of makes sense that she may be getting to someone she doesn’t love and eventually become the protagonist in “Da Vidna”. We could also be looking at star-crossed lovers too and their families aren’t exactly friends.

Overall, while I doubt this song would’ve won 2020, it’s definitely one of my favourites.

Oh shit, Ukraine is really bringing it this year! I might’ve found my fave.
