When South Africans stood up for democracy in 1994, Pink Floyd retired. Now in support of the people of Ukraine, the legends have joined forces with brave Boombox star, Andriy Khlyvnyuk to support humanitarian relief efforts in Ukriane.

Hey, Hey rise up is an Ukrainian folk song, In the meadow a red kalyna (viburnum). Andriy stopped a tour in the USA to return to Ukraine and took up arms, like many brave citizens of Ukraine, against the Russian invasion.

Rise up, Ukraine, rise up is my fervent prayer. My God be with you.

Share and like and support this effort.

Oh, in the meadow a red kalyna (vibirnum) has bent down low,

For some reason, our glorious Ukraine is in sorrow.
And we’ll take that red kalyna and we will raise it up,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!
And we’ll take that red kalyna and we will raise it up,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!

Do not bend low, Oh red kalyna, You have a white flower,
Do not worry, glorious Ukraine, You have a free people.
And we’ll take that red kalyna and will raise it up,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!
And we’ll take that red kalyna and will raise it up,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!

Marching forward, our fellow volunteers, into a bloody fray,
For to free, our brother – Ukrainians, from hostile chains.
And we, our brother – Ukrainians, we will then liberate,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!
And we, our brother – Ukrainians, we will then liberate,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!

Oh in the field, of early spring wheat, there’s a golden furrow,
Then began, the Ukrainian riflemen to, engage the enemy.
And we’ll take, that precious, early wheat and will gather it,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!
And we’ll take, that precious, early wheat and will gather it,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!

When the stormy winds blow forth from the wide steppes,
They will glorify, through out Ukraine, the Sich riflemen.
And we’ll take the glory of the riflemen preserving it,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!
And we’ll take the glory of the riflemen preserving it,
And we shall cheer up our glorious Ukraine, hey – hey!
