Mari Kalkun releases new song in support of Ukraine

Estonian Folk singer Mari Kalkun wrote this song on the night of 25 February 2022 shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. It's a beautiful, moving, poignant song, dedicated to the brave people of Ukraine. The singer asks us to support Ukrainians via the “For Ukraine!” campaign, run by the Estonian Refugee Council, Ukrainian Cultural Centre of Estonia and NGO Mondo .


Somewhere There´s War: Lyrics

Somewhere there´s war
But far from me
Somebody´s torn
On a battlefield
A baby cries
But it´s not mine
Somebody dies
But it´s not me

Humanity
Humanity
Can you still feel?
Can you still feel?

Somewhere there´s war
It´s at my home
My brother´s torn
On a battlefield
A baby cries
Ah, it´s my child! 
Somebody dies
Oh look, it´s me

Can I still feel 
Can I still feel 
human? 
Can I still feel
Can I still feel
human? 

To be a man
Does it mean to fight?
To close my heart
And have no fright 

A human
A human
A human

When I was a child 
I looked up the sky
I used to feel
My mind is free

My mind is free
My mind is free

Your mind is free
Your mind is free
Free 
Free
Free
Free
