I opened the window

ART and our life.

I opened the window

sound

Art song performed by Ukrainian mezzo Renata Babak

I opened the window

And spring night touched my face

with fragrant breath of lilac.

In the distance somewhere a nightingale sang wonderfuly.

I listen to it with deep meloncholy

And I remembered my homeland my fatherland

Where my native nightingale sings its own song

not knowing earthy troubles

Singing through the whole night

in fragnant bushes of lilac.
