З Днем Народження! Happy Birthday! Joyeux Anniversaire !

On this occasion, I could not resist creating a video with the photomontages that I made to illustrate my translations into French of his songs. :)

Sorry for this poor sound quality, but I've only found this strange soundtrack... and the thing is that I really wanted to sing THIS SONG. Why? Only because it reflects me and the way I am:
  • When I listen to Okean Elzy, I know that "Рок-н-рол завжди живий - Rock and roll is always alive"...
  • When I'm singing in Ukrainian, what about my soul?  "Так ніби хтось назвав її струною! You could say that something trembles deep in my soul"...
  • And when I immerse myself in the lyrics written by Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, "зима стає весною - my winter becomes spring"! :)



Anyway, I still need to work again & again in order to improve my knowledge of Ukrainian language and my vocal technique! Svyatoslav, can you help me? ;)
