my idea for an abba charity song for unicef ukraine appeal

hello all

i thought i would try singing ‘fernando’ at the karaoke
while practising the song in the car it occurred to me that i could be singing Zelenski

So over the last few months i have come up with these amended lyrics as below

Please everyone let me what you think, good, bad or silly?

I hope you all like it (i do have a rough recording of me singing it, without the extra verse, i can post a link if anyone wants to hear it)



Can you hear the guns Zelenski – sung to the music of Abba’s Fernando



Can you hear the guns Zelenski

It was not so long ago another starry night like this

In your stand up days Zelenski

You were joking with your friends and making sure that they all laughed

But now we hear the roar the Russian war machine approaching on the path



They are closer now Zelenski

Every hour every minute seems to last eternally

I am so afraid Zelenski

We are young and full of life and all of us prepared to die

And I’m not ashamed to say the sound of guns and missiles almost make me cry



(Chorus)

There is something in the air tonight the stars are bright Zelenski

They are shinning for the liberty of our Ukraine Zelenski

And we know that we will never lose there is no doubt

If we have to do the same again we will my friend Zelenski

If we have to do the same again we will my friend Zelenski



Now the war is won Zelenski

That uniform you wore will not be needed any more

I remember war Zelenski

Do you still recall the time that we defended our front lines

I could see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight for freedom in Ukraine



(Chorus)

There is something in the air tonight the stars are bright zenenski

They are shinning for the liberty of our Ukraine Zelenski

And we know that we will never lose there is no doubt

If we have to do the same again we will my friend Zelenski



(extra verse)

Now that Putins gone Zelenski

He will never be allowed to rule this land we call Ukraine

He will serve his time Zelenski

All his victims will rest easy with their souls on higher planes

Ukraine will surely prosper well beyond the devastation that remains



(Chorus)

There is something in the air tonight the stars are bright Zelenski

They are shinning for the liberty of our Ukraine Zelenski

And we know that we will never lose there is no doubt

If we have to do the same again we will my friend Zelenski

If we have to do the same again we will my friend Zelenski

If we have to do the same again we will my friend Zelenski
