Here the Spring Has Come to No One — Ukrainian Insurgent Army
I was asked to translate this traditional Ukrainian Insurgent Army song in March of 2022 by Dr. Yuliya Ladygina. It was my first time translating a text that’s meant to be put to music. Translating song lyrics has an interesting new layer of considerations, like musical emphasis, which words and notes are held, and which ones flow off the tongue and are easy to sing.
