Line 3: − Another song taking the world by storm in 2021 is Pelegaya's rendition of ''Under a Green Willow'', a song written by a Russian officer in the early nineteenth century about a soldier mortally wounded under a willow tree, watching a black raven flying over his head. The raven is an ominous sign of impending death. He asks the raven to carry his bloodied sash home to his wife, freeing her from her promise to wait for him. He has found a new bride now, death. And he asks the raven to tell his father, mother and wife that they shouldn’t expect him to return.<ref>http://blog.nyfos.org/pelageya-sings-willow</ref>+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Pelegeya's signature song is entitled ''Lyubo, bratsy, lyubo'' or ''Lovely it is to live, brothers, lovely'', made popular during the [[Second World War]]. It is the dying words of a [[Cossack]] chieftain on a riverbank, remembering his wife, his mother, and his horse after leading 40,000 men on into a bloody battle.

Don't caw black raven
Over my head
Oh, you black raven.
I am still alive!
Fly please, black raven,
Home to my father and mother
And give my bloody cloth
To my young wife.
Tell her, black raven
That I've married another,
That I found a bride
In a wide field beyond the river!
The wedding was peaceful,
Under a willow bush,
Oh, peaceful, quiet,
Under a willow bush.
My sharp sabre was the matchmaker,
My bayonet was the best man.
Oh, my sharp sabre,
My bayonet was the best man.
The bullet married us quickly,
Mother earth married us.
Oh, the bullet quickly,
Mother earth married us!<ref>[http://blog.nyfos.org/pelageya-sings-willo Pelageya sings “Under Willow”] </ref>
