If you saw Majdanek, then you saw those walls | |||
Which silently listened as a boy sang his song. | |||
He wrote it exactly, as his heart wrote it, | |||
He sang it exactly, as his heart sang it: | |||
!Chorus: | |||
::Momma, can you hear me cry to you, momma. | |||
::Momma, I want to come to you, | |||
::Momma, I'll break through to you, my momma. | |||
::Except that the barbed wire won't let me through. | |||
The barracks, the barracks - our burdensome coffin. | |||
They pointed a muzzle at the boy and his song. | |||
Can you hear, can you see, my twentieth forum, | |||
Where every evening he sings his burnt song: | |||
::People, please listen to me, people, | |||
::People, relieved to go to their fates. | |||
::People, unite despite the flames, people, | |||
::So the world doesn't herd us through barbed wire gates. | |||
Who was that young boy - Vasylko or Yanek? | |||
Let's ask the dry ashes of that grey Majdanek. | |||
One moment... just a second, and a shot thunders loudly, | |||
And the dying young boy, sings his song softly: | |||
!Chorus | |||

It's unclear when (and if) Богачук wrote this poem. I suspect if he was the author that it would be found in his "Незабутнє" (1958) collection, but I've yet to be able to track down a copy to confirm. The song does have some vague resemblance to his poem "[https://web.archive.org/web/20201013055313/http://shatsk-sch1-bibl.volyn.sch.in.ua/chitachevi/yak_nas_znajti/volinsjki_poeti_pro_vijnu_1939-1945/ Крик Попелу]" which is about the Majdanek camp. | It's unclear when (and if) Богачук wrote this poem.

** This version of the words (unlike the other 3 compositions) says "майданчик" instead of "Майданек" and "Василь чи Янек" instead of "Іванко чи Янек".

This is in contrast to the alternate understanding of the song as about the Nazi Majdanek concentration camp (where "Ivanko" and "Janek" are stereotypical Ukrainian and Polish-Jewish names, effectively saying "Was this boy Ukrainian or Polish/Jewish? Only their grey ashes can tell us"). This understanding is also vaguely consistent with "Крик Попелу" by Богачук ("Якої ж національності ... Попіл з усіх однаковий"). | ||
*** It is not currently known for certain which version existed first (Майданек or майданчик). We've chosen to use the "Майданек" understanding of the lyrics as our primary version because it seems like an overall more consistent storyline. However, we use "Василько" instead of "Іванко", to allow people to use either understanding with the same set of lyrics. | *** It is not currently known for certain which version existed first (Майданек or майданчик).

** The lyrics were brought to a CYM camp (Tarasivka in Derbyshire) that same summer (1969) where the kommandant gave them to Marusia Jurkiw who then wrote the music in a single night and performed it at the bonfire (ватра) the next day with her sister Olia Jurkiw. | ** The lyrics were brought to a CYM camp (Tarasivka in Derbyshire) that same summer (1969) where the kommandant gave them to Marusia Jurkiw who then wrote the music in a single night and performed it at the bonfire (ватра) the next day with her sister Olia Jurkiw. | ||
