a folk song from chapayevka village, chornobyl region

this type of song is called голосіння (holosinnya — "keening"), and they are usually sang by women over the dead body during the period between death and funeral. in this song, the woman is mourning both her dead son, and the land that they were forced to leave due to the chornobyl disaster.

Things have been a bit bumpy lately, but I'm trying to keep my spirits up and my head above water. Unfortunately, I'm very much struggling to pay my phone bill for the last two months and a half. Which means that as of today I can't even get calls and texts anymore. And I need to be reachable via phone. It's vital for my gig as a medical interpreter for Ukrainian refugees. I need it to earn income.

It would help a looot if I could sort this out.

If you have a coin to spare (but only if you really do!), I'd appreciate your help with this. Likes and reblogs are appreciated just as much 😚
