Day of Forgiveness 2 - Andriy Skakodub (UA)

[Verse 1] Understanding is needed, And also endurance, And also love. Today will be the Day of Forgiveness. We need to let go of everything — everything heavier than a feather from our hearts. Throw away your three sacks of stones that you’ve been carrying behind your back. Throw them where my three sacks lie — of grudges, of memories of dark days. [Chorus] Because we need understanding. And also endurance. And also love. And today will be a Day of Hugs. [Verse 2 – Rap / Spoken-word] Hug me — but sincerely. Only with an open heart. I will hug you, and you must feel the light inside your heart. You must see so much light around us. We are radiating light, and we can be seen far, far beyond the horizon. You’re cooking dinner. I’m cutting the salad. The sounds of sirens don’t scare us, because we look into each other’s eyes. [Chorus variant] Why should we fear the sirens? Today is the Day of Forgiveness... Why should we fear the sirens? Today is the Day of Hugs... Why should we fear the sirens? Today is the Day of Kisses... [Bridge – building] So many kisses under the sound of sirens. How could we live without them today, without the sirens? But we also can’t live without kisses — especially today — no, we can’t. We need understanding. And also hope for tomorrow. And also more love in our hearts. And also God in our souls. That is what we need today. [Verse 3 – Rap / Spoken] And weapons… someone from the public channel tells us that we need lots and lots of weapons, because today we can’t go without them. Someone from the public channel says: “People, what are you doing? We still need more weapons. How could we live without them today, no, we can’t…” Someone’s talking from the feed… We are raising money for drones, raising money for drones, raising money for drones. Outside, the air defence is thundering. Outside, enemy drones are whining and rattling. But I hold her. But I kiss her. We donate for drones… Because we can’t do without them today. [Outro – Calm, cinematic] On our sacks of stones, flowers will grow. We light up the light inside our hearts. We have not a single drop of fear — not of the enemy, not of death, not of tomorrow — because we have lit the light in our hearts, lit the light and faith in a bright tomorrow.
