Слова: Олександр Богачук
Музика: Марія Юрків
Хто бачив Майданек, той бачив ті стіни,
Хто бачив Майданек, той бачив ті стіни,
Що слухали пісню одного хлопчини.
Що слухали пісню одного хлопчини.
Він склав її просто, як серце складало,
Він склав її просто, як серце складало,
Співав її просто як серце співало.
Співав її просто як серце співало.
Приспів:
Мамо, чи чуєш ти мене, Мамо,
Мамо, чи чуєш ти мене, Мамо,
Мамо, я хочу до тебе прийти,
Мамо, я хочу до тебе прийти,
Мамо, я рвусь до тебе, Мамо.
Мамо, я рвусь до тебе, Мамо.
Але не пускають колючі дроти.
Але не пускають колючі дроти.
Бараки, бараки, важкі домовини.
Націлили дула у пісню хлопчини.
Чи бачиш, чи чуєш, двадцятий мій віче,
Як спалена пісня, щовечора кличе.
Люди, чи чуєте мене, люди.
Люди, щасливо йдуть до мети.
Люди, єднайтесь у вогні, люди,
Щоб світ не скувала колючі дроти.
Хто був той хлопчина - Василько чи Янек.
Хай скаже нам попіл, той сивий Майданек.
Ще й мить... ще секунда, і постріл лунає,
А хлопець вмираючи тихо співає...
Приспів
Majdanek (English Translation)
Переклад: Данило Сенторе
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
Джерела
It's unclear when Богачук wrote this poem. I suspect it was in his "Незабутнє" (1958) collection, but I've never been able to track down a copy to confirm.
There are 3 (known) melodies for this poem:
- The most common version sung in the diaspora today was written by Марія Юрків. This version is not sung in Ukraine. All I've been able to dig up about her was the following secondhand information from the Iskra band: "She wrote the melody in the late 60's or, possibly, the early 70's. At the time she lived in Great Britain, but subsequently moved to Australia."
- The most common version in Ukraine, and the original version in the diaspora, was written by Василь Чинч. ВІА Коломияни and the Toronto Kardash Choir sing this version.
- There is also a version by Георгій Мірецький. I've never been able to track down a rendition of his composition, but the sheet music can be found in his collection Пісні Романси Том 4.
