MUF Modern Ukrainian Folk Project — Потім не буде

M-m-m, tu-tum, tu-tum, tu-tum, tu-tum, tu-tum-day.

Where are you? Where are you running? Stop. M-m-m.

I look in the mirror — there's another woman, Every wrinkle like an old page. Where is my body that never knew fatigue? Where is the fire that baked convulsions? Where are my legs that never saw barriers, That galloped into the night beneath a thousand horses? Hair covers the shores with silver. Where did those times of the road go? Time flows through my fingers like sand, Leaving its imprint and step upon my skin. I ask the sky: "Why so fast?" And the sky stays silent and draws up the losses.

Don't wait for later — later won't come. Drink this moment while your lungs still breathe. Cherish this body, cherish these hands, While they still don't know farewell. Your life is not yesterday, not tomorrow, It burns right now like an eternal bonfire. Love yourself with gray hair, love every version of you, For only today can you truly do that.

We leave everything for better days, We hide our dreams in dark chests. But old age asks no permission and no rights, It comes so you'll give everything away. So don't wait until the flower wilts, Feel how this world pulses right now. Your body is a temple that has seen the winds. Be happy in it — just live.

Don't wait for later — later won't come. Drink this moment while your lungs still breathe. Cherish this body, cherish these hands, While they still don't know farewell. Your life is not yesterday, not tomorrow, It burns right now like an eternal bonfire. Love yourself with gray hair, love every version of you, For only today can you truly do that.

Oh, my years, like untamed horses. Oh, my days, golden and smoky. Don't grieve for what is gone forever. Drink this moment like a sip of water.

Only now, only here. Don't wait for later — later won't come. Drink this moment while your lungs still breathe. Your life is not yesterday, not tomorrow, It burns right now like an eternal bonfire.

Where are you, my body? You're here — alive, real. Don't wait anymore. Live.
