“I pestered you with questions, you gave a wise answer…” Band “Drazdy” released a heartfelt music video “Babulya” (Grandma)
“This project was made possible thanks to incredible grandmothers — residents of our native Belarus,” the band announced on their social media pages.
“A low bow and immense gratitude to every heroine, their grandchildren, and great-grandchildren for letting us into their homes and entrusting us with their most private treasures — their personal stories. You shared not just memories, you gifted us a piece of your family warmth,” writes the band, presenting the music video across various platforms.
Little clouds huddle near the sun,
Drifting low above the ground.
How I miss, my dear granny,
Those moments spent with you.
There in the chestnut shade,
I remember many times in childhood,
I would pester you with questions,
And you gave a wise answer…
Tell me, grandma,
Where does the stork spend the winter?
Why is the sky colored blue?
Why does the maple tree grow tall,
Where do dragons live,
And what does it mean to cry without tears?
How do bees make honey,
Why to the rainbow
Could I not run today,
Where do the rivers flow,
What are candles made of,
Grandma, and where does God live?
Once again the little cuckoo will call
In our orchard in the spring.
Only grandma will not come out
And will not greet me.
There where the crimson dawns
Pour mist onto the water,
About our talks with grandma
I will compose a quiet song.
