My Lyrical. Ukraine-and-Russia

I recall... blue skies and yellow fields
I recall your dusty roads and flowered hills
All your fields of yellow wheat and rye,
All your seas... of blue and dreamy sky  *1

I recall... your blue Carpathian hills  *2
I recall... your edgeless harving Fields  *3
All your birches... and wedges of your cranes  *4
I love you... my Russia-and-Ukraine!  *5


I recall... your fields of yellow rye
I recall... your blue and birdy sky  *6
Your blond-yellow hair... and your blue eyes -  *7
Your blue skies... and yellow WHEATS and RYES  *8

I recall... your BEAUTY and your WRINKLES...  *9
In your yellowseas I sailed with my ship-wings  *10
I LOVE your SkyFields, I love both YOU and them!  *11
Et je t'aime, Ukraine. Je t'aime, Russie. Je t'aime! *12


I recall... your looks, your smiles, your hands
I recall... my sweetheart Motherlands  *13
We will be! Again together, me and you.
I love U... Ukraine-and-Russia. I love YOU!  *14

And we ARE the one! United! Don't you see!?
Et je t'aime, Ukraine. Je t'aime, ma chere Russie.
You're mine! Ukraine-and-Russia. You're my pain...  *15
Mais je t'aime, Russie. Je t'aime, ma chere Ukraine.

Author's comments:*

1. Sea or sky? Both sea and sky are blue! And what about "dreamy"... Didn't you ever dream about sea... or sky?
2. Blue Carpathian hills... Or green Carpathian hills? They are both blue and green, indeed! Blue, because they are the Mountains!
And green, because they are full of green... firs! Carpathian firs!
3. Harving? Harvest... breeding... horizonless... and even everlasting. I'll miss any of these words! It's such a pity to loose any of them! But I have to make a choice. The Fields... Let'em be HARVING! I make such a decision. Harving is harvest-breeding. Do you mind?
4. Your birches and your cranes. Aren't you "YOURCRANE", are you? Aren't you a Russian birch? You, the Russia-and-Ukraine!
Do you remember?
5. The Russia-and-Ukraine is one word. It's a Union. The Union of Russia and Ukraine. Like it was erlier. And like it will be in future! I'm sure.
6. Birdy. Didn't you ever fly in the sky? Like a bird. No? Then, fly!
7. Blond-yellow hair... blue eyes... What? As for me, the Ukraine is a quiet nice girl! But... with red lips, blue eyes and... white skin. She is the Ukraine-and-Russia. Have you forgotten that? Shame on you!
8. Wheats and ryes? Yes, they can be in plural form. Since now. It's fields. Wheat fields and rye fields.
Or fields of wheat and fields of rye.
9. Beauty and wrinkles... Is it possible? She is a beauty for whom she is a girl. She has wrinkles for whom she is a mother.
She has beauty and wrinkles for whom she is both a girl and a mother. She is the Mother...LAND!
10. Yellowseas... Don't confuse with the Chinese one! These are seas or wheat and rye. Recall that! Ship-wings? They are sails.
Or else, you can sail with sails!)
11. SkyFields... Look at the Flag! Both Sky and Field... Do you understand me?
12. Oui. C'est en francais. Un peu. L'amour en francais.
13. Fatherland? Or sweetheart Motherland? Sweetheart MOTHERLANDS! I have two mothers! The Ukraine and the Russia. Motherlands. In my childhood it was the one! So, let it be! The one Russia-and-Ukraine!
14. Ukraine-and-Russia... or Russia-and-Ukraine? Is there any difference? No! No difference.
U...Ukraine... I'm bumbling. A little.)
15. You're my pain... Because you're not the Russia-and-Ukraine. Now. But we can change the situation.
               I CAN! And what about you? Can YOU?
                Sincerely yours, RUS
