Welcome everyone!
We begin this year’s Musical Advent Calendar in Odessa (Ukraine). Hailing from this beautiful harbor town is the indie folk band Kolir (Колір) who formed in 2014. Last year they often performed in Belarus, wrote a song in Belarusian and were awarded a prize at “Zaspiawaj 2.0”, a Belarusian song contest. With this first musical goodie we wish you a great Advent season!
The Colour – To be myself
The cold stars with the fiery hand
I touch drops of the sun
leave me the right to be myself
and allow me to warm the stars
heaving my sail on vociferous river
I will forget quietness and joyfulness
leave me the right to be myself
my indefeasible right
leave me the right
leave me the right
to be myself
leave me the right
leave me the right
to be myself
Sanguinary killers with poisoned lie
do not hold my hands
leave me the right to be myself
Take all the rest.
Will help me to bear
the sorrow and pain
Azures of wings of the native-born sky
leave me the right to be myself
and that is all I need
leave me the right
leave me the right
to be myself
leave me the right
leave me the right
to be myself
