Zolo the hero Zolo alone
Zolo stands solo in defense of his home
Zolo Zelensky the heart of his land
Zolo the hero doing all that he can
Meanwhile the sunflower lady
gives the red soldiers packets of sunflower seeds
And tells them when they die unburied
out of their ribs Will grow sunflower trees
Zolo Stands solo against the red army
all alone in the face of the tanks
While Putin squanders all chance of conquest
In a fever dream of the soldiers in ranks
Tara Shevchenko said it best
Those who survive will be those who are tested
Zolo stands solo his whole country is brave
his whole country Deserves to be saved
This is the best that a man has to offer to be all he can on his feet or a coffin.
It?s terrible to lie in chains,
To rot in dungeon deep,
But it's still worse, when you are free To sleep,
and sleep, and sleep and sleep
Meanwhile the sunflower lady
gives the red soldiers packets of sunflower seeds
And tells them when they die unburied
out of their ribs Will grow sunflower trees
A poignant offering, but I think it was hurried. Sunflowers are tall, sometimes over 7 feet, but they're not trees. With a few revisions, I would hope that the song would have the emotion of Danny Boy.
