NOTE: I do not own anything except the Nightcore in this video, all belong to the respected owners. --- Cover: Mirami Original audio: Full background image: --- Hej, Sokoły (Hey, falcons, Polish: Hej, Sokoły, Ukrainian: Гей, соколи), proper title Żal za Ukrainą (Regret for Ukraine) or Na zielonej Ukrainie (In green Ukraine) – is a Polish-Ukrainian folk song. The song’s authorship is not completely certain, some scholars attribute the writing of the song to the Ukrainian-Polish poet-songwriter Tomasz Padura (1801-1871) (however, according to the latest Ukrainian research, there is no lyrics of the song in any of Padura’s song collections), and others believe it was written by the Polish classical composer Maciej Kamieński (1734–1825). The song is popular in Poland, Ukraine and Slovakia, and to a lesser extent in Belarus and the eastern Czech Republic. The tune was popular among Polish soldiers during the Polish-Soviet War, and was also sung by the Polish Home Army guerrillas during World War II. Polish folk singer Maryla Rodowicz also performed a popular cover of the song. The lyrics exist in several versions about a Ukrainian girl to whom her betrothed, a cossack or an uhlan, says goodbye for the last time. It is sometimes presented as being either, or both, a Polish folk song or Ukrainian folk song. The lyrics vary only slightly between the two languages.
