In Ukraine's land, a Crimean pair resides,
Their past now intertwined with present strife,
Echoes of history in their hearts reside.
Forced from their home by troops with guns and pride,
A couple, Tatars, fleeing for their life,
In Ukraine's land, a Crimean pair resides.
Memories of deportation cannot hide,
The pain, the fear, the longing, all too rife,
Echoes of history in their hearts reside.
Once before, their people were denied,
Torn from their roots, facing endless night,
In Ukraine's land, a Crimean pair resides.
Still haunted by the past, they can't abide,
The shadows of injustice, dark and wide,
Echoes of history in their hearts reside.
Now in Ukraine, they hope and dream collide,
Seeking peace and solace, side by side,
In Ukraine's land, a Crimean pair resides,
Echoes of history in their hearts reside.
