    SONG NAME: Moon's in the heavens
    LYRICS:
    Moon's in the heavens, sparkle the stars above,
    Quietly on the sea there floats a boat.
    In the boat's a maiden, a song she does sing there,
    A Kozak does hear it - his dearheart dies.
    The song's beloved, the song is so loved,
    All about loving, all about love
    How we have loved, and had broken up,
    Now come together forever again.
    My eyes, my eyes, eyes of a maiden,
    Dark, like the night, bright, like the day!
    You oh dear eyes have taught me to cry and weep,
    Where have you learned - to mislead people ?
    ORIGINAL NAME: МІСЯЦЬ НА НЕБІ
    ORIGINAL LYRICS:
    Місяць на небі, зіроньки сяють,
    Тихо по морю човен пливе.
    В човні дівчина пісню співає,
    А козак чує - серденько мре.'
    Пісня та мила, пісня та люба
    Все про кохання, все про любов.
    Як ми любились та й розійшлися,
    Тепер навіки зійшлися знов.
    Ой очі, очі, очі дівочі,
    Темні, як нічка, ясні, як день!
    Ви ж мені, очі, вік вкоротили,
    Де ж ви навчились зводить людей?'

    To add to the video description above:
    The title of the song is "Misyatsʹ na nebi, zironʹky syayut" (Місяць на небі, зіроньки сяють), whose title translates as "The Moon is in the Sky, the Stars are Shining." It is not exactly a Cossack song, but a romance from the mid-1800s, with lyrics about a Cossack in love.
    The performer is Mr. Stepan Shcherbak (Степан Щербак), who has performed for years in tourist areas and churches of Kyiv, Ukraine.

    My big belated apology!
    I was so ignorant that I didn't even know I had mispelled Kyiv.
    I just corrected Kiev to Kyiv.
    I've never looked back my uploaded clip so far.
    Due to long and dark tunnel of pandemic, my biz was totally collapsed with no room for U-tube.
    Now I just resumed my biz and for the first time began to look back my footprints and found that so many friends shouted at me "Kyiv, not Kiev!!!"
    I'm so sorry not to even read you.
    Better late than never, though. I just corrected wrong information.
    Through you I found that
    1. The name of the old Cossack man: Mr Stepan Scherbak
    2. The name of the instrument: Ukrainian Bandura
    3. The theme of the song: Moon's in the heavens
    4. The name of the city: KYIV, not Kiev!!!
    5. I even corrected the name of the country Ukraina the way we pronounce and write in Korea, not Ukraine the English way.
    p.s. I'm not a good U-tuber but I'll try to be a better creator from now on. If you kindly subscribe my channel and like it, I can make it!

      As for the Brazilian government, Bolsonaro isn't gonna be messing with Putin, because the Brazilian armed forces are for territory defence only and humanitarian missions, we've always been a pacifist country, only not as much as Switzerland, we got people from everywhere you can imagine inside our borders, that's what makes up Brazil, where you're from isn't counted against you and your heritage is respected and embraced, one more reason not to go to war against anyone, as a Brazilian I hold no national hatred against people from other countries, and one thing is the people, another is the mafia that's ruling them (the government), we're also pretty libertarian as well, we hate the idea of going to something as insane and barbarous as a war, only if we must to defend ourselves and our own country, our cities, families, friends, just like Ukraine is doing, and by the way there's already Brazilians going over there to fight on your side, along with people from all over the world, for the existence of Ukraine as an independent country, so there you go.
      We're also gonna be happy to welcome Ukrainian and Russian refugees inside our borders, should they make it to here, we don't send fleeing and desperate people back to their tyrannical dictatorships or ruined nations, we're not that kind of people, there's always a place for someone to start over in Brazil and remake their lives, yeah sure it's tough, but so is for everyone else as well, and being a foreigner won't count as much as the person you are as it does in other countries, so you're all welcome!
      Also, the Brazilian government is actively carrying out a FAB (Brazilian Air Force) operation to rescue both Brazilians and refugees by plane from Kiev to Brasilia (Brazil's capital) and repatriating refugees with Brazilian citizenships, so yeah we're helping in many ways, both fighting as independent volunteers and officially rescuing people to Brazil.

    Moon's in the heavens
    Moon's in the heavens, sparkle the stars above,
    Quietly on the sea there floats a boat.
    In the boat's a maiden, a song she does sing there,
    A Kozak does hear it - his dearheart dies.
    The song's beloved, the song is so loved,
    All about loving, all about love
    How we have loved, and had broken up,
    Now come together forever again.
    My eyes, my eyes, eyes of a maiden,
    Dark, like the night, bright, like the day!
    You oh dear eyes have taught me to cry and weep,
    Where have you learned - to mislead people ?
    МІСЯЦЬ НА НЕБІ
    Місяць на небі, зіроньки сяють,
    Тихо по морю човен пливе.
    В човні дівчина пісню співає,
    А козак чує - серденько мре.'
    Пісня та мила, пісня та люба
    Все про кохання, все про любов.
    Як ми любились та й розійшлися,
    Тепер навіки зійшлися знов.
    Ой очі, очі, очі дівочі,
    Темні, як нічка, ясні, як день!
    Ви ж мені, очі, вік вкоротили,
    Де ж ви навчились зводить людей?'

    lyrics:
    There is moon in a sky,
    Stars are blinking.
    The boat is floating in a sea quietly.
    The girl is singing a song in a boat.
    Cossack listening it and his heart is dying.
    That song is so nice,
    That song is so lovely.
    It's all about love ('kohannya')
    It's all about love ('lyubov')
    It tells about we loved each other
    And about broke up
    And now we together forever.
    Oh, eyes, eyes.
    Oh, girl's eyes.
    They are dark like a night,
    And they are clear like a day.
    You, eyes, shortened my age.
    Where did you learned to kill people?
    In Ukraine we can learn the words of this song in a school. I still remember
