SONG: AVIÉNTATE YA by ALICE BAG
VISUALS: Лісова пісня (Forest Song), 1961, based on a Ukrainian folk tale and a play by Lesya Ukrainka (1871-1913), and directed by Ukrainian Viktor Ivchenko (1912-1972).
Lesya Ukrainka was one of Ukrainian literature's foremost writers, best known for her poems and plays. She was also an active political, civil, and feminist activist.
I dedicate this mash up of Alice Bag's rallying cry, Aviéntate Ya with Viktor Ivchenko's Forest Song to the bravery and spirit of the Ukrainian people.

LYRICS
Ahh que riesgo emocionante
Tiene efecto intoxicante
Atrévete, andale
Que pa’ luego es tarde
Ve sin temor, ten valor
No seas cobarde
Atrévete, andale
Que pa’ luego es tarde
Ve sin temor, ten valor
No seas cobarde
Te vas con cautela
y me desesperas
Enfréntate al riesgo
No hay otra manera
Aviéntate ya!
Aviéntate ya!
Aviéntate ya!
Es un poco intimidante
Molestoso, irritante
Atrévete, andale
Que pa’ luego es tarde
Ve sin temor, ten valor
No seas cobarde
Atrévete, andale
Que pa’ luego es tarde
Ve sin temor, ten valor
No seas cobarde
Lo desconocido
es como el océano
Deja el salvavidas
tírate un clavado!
Aviéntate ya!
Aviéntate ya!
Aviéntate ya!
No es necesario,
dar tanta vuelta
Por mientras piensas,
se cierra la puerta
Atrévete, andale
Que pa’ luego es tarde
Ve sin temor, ten valor
No seas cobarde
Atrévete, andale
Que pa’ luego es tarde
Ve sin temor, ten valor
No seas cobarde
No se pueda a medias,
Aunque sea con miedo
Hay que entrarle entero,
Hay que entrarle entero!
Aviéntate ya!
Aviéntate ya!
Aviéntate ya!
