Lviv, Ukraine: "Mama"

A beautiful evening in Lviv, Ukraine, where a military band is performing "Mama" on a public square.  The song is about a young man apologizing to his mother for going to war, and promising he will return to her.  The audience, both young and old, grew as he sang, listening intently.


Lyrics in this clip:

I'm packing my things into a backpack

And of course you didn't sleep last night

I see the sadness in your eyes

I know Mama, you wouldn't want your son to get his hands' dirty

But Mama you blessed me when the time came for battle

Mama, I'm sorry

Mama, don't cry

Mama, believe me, I am always yours

Mama, I'm sorry

Mama, time to go

Bless [me] and let me go
