Ой у лузі червона калина from New Kicks by Crooked Mowth
Shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began, an inspiring video circulated of a young woman singing a patriotic Ukrainian folksong, joined subsequently by a larger group of singers. We challenged ourselves to learn the words, and the pronunciation (thank you to David Rukhelman for the help), and put our own spin (or round, as the case may be) on the song.
You can find the original video at https://youtu.be/LIUoFuSuvTM; a translation and some background can be found at https://www.crookedmowth.com/ukrainiansong.

Lyrics
Ой у лузі червона калина похилилася,
Чогось наша славна Україна зажурилася.
А ми тую червону калину підіймемо,
А ми нашу славну Україну, гей-гей, розвеселимо!
