Old Tree

An old tree

In the city of Kiev
O, Ukraine's key city

Ancient and full of history
How old are you
The silent sentinel, who

Watches the daily scenes

Of countless souls passing by
O, how the years roll by

Winter, spring, summer and autumn

What have you seen
How much has the city changed

Since the 1940s

I can only imagine
That's me there
