Come Home is a song about finding your way back to the place where you belong and reflects the plight of millions affected by the Russo-Ukrainian War. It was recently performed live on BBC's Front Row program on Radio 4.
The song powerfully weaves a contemporary arrangement of folk layers together with the lyrics of Kyiv poet Voloshka. It showcases MUHA's unique style and features the ethereal sounds of the hurdy-gurdy, soulful vocals by Iryna Muha, alongside band members Dmitry Fedotov on guitar, Louise Fedotov-Clements on bass, and percussion by Nikki McKenzie.
MUHA is a brilliant live act, drawing inspiration from the multicultural tapestry of the UK while offering a fresh approach to Eastern European music. Fronted by the talented Ukrainian vocalist Iryna Muha, the band skilfully blends traditional folk elements with modern influences, resulting in a captivating musical experience.
lyrics
Come Home
Lyrics translation from Ukrainian
My dear, don’t give up until you reach home
As without you, the freezing winds are wailing in the heaven’s end,
And I hardly keep alive.
Don’t give up until you reach home
As only in you, in the whole world I can find comfort
-Oi its a sorrow this war
Come to me through valleys , mountains and rivers,
I have embroidered my dress with a white thread
So that it will sparkle with light as the first star
Dear God, please finally finish this war!
-Oi its a sorrow this war
My dear keep your rifle close , that war is a lie
Only bring back blue fog with you.
-Oi it’s a sorrow this war
