Ukraine

Ukraine is the only country to have qualified for every Grand Final since their debut.

They are the Eastern European country with the highest total points, an impressive feat considering its relatively recent debut. They are third most likely to win based on voting history.

They are also the only country to have won after coming in second for both the jury and public vote with Jamala's 1944 in 2016.

They are the only country whose winning entries are all sung in more than one language with 2004's Wild Dances being in Ukrainian and English and 2016's 1944 being in Crimean Tatar and English.

Ukrainian Lyrics:

Стефанія мамо мамо Стефанія,

Розквітає поле, а вона сивіє,

Заспівай мені мамо колискову

Хочу ще почути твоє рідне слово

Вона мене колисала дала мені ритм і напевне силу волі не забрати в мене бо дала вона

Напевне знала може більше і від соломона, ломаними дорогами прийду я завжди тебе

Вона не розБудить не будить, мене в сильні бурі

Забере в бабулі 2 дулі, ніби вони кулі

Дуже добре знала мене не була обманута, як була дуже втомлена, гойдала мене в такт

Стефанія мамо мамо Стефанія,

Розквітає поле, а вона сивіє,

Заспівай мені мамо колискову

Хочу ще почути твоє рідне слово

Я не в пеленах но ма, но ма, хватить, як би я не виріс на виріст, за речі платить Я не мала дитина, вона далі нерви тратить, я гуляв, шлях би тебе трафив, Ти все молода о мамо на піку, якщо не ціню опіку на піку слави мені втупіку Забивайте піку цю піку я би попік спік, своєю любов‘ю

Стефанія мамо мамо Стефанія,

Розквітає поле, а вона сивіє,

Заспівай мені мамо колискову,

Хочу ще почути твоє рідне слово

English Lyrics:

Mother Stephania, Stephania mother

The field is blooming, but her hair is getting grey

Mother, sing me the lullaby

I want to hear your dear word

She was rocking me as a baby, she gave me a rhythm,

And you can‘t take willpower from me, as I got it from her

I think she knew more than King Solomon

I‘ll always find my way home, even if all roads are destroyed

She wouldn‘t wake me up even if there was a storm outside

Or if there was a storm between her and grandma,

She trusted me over everyone else

Even when she was tired, she just kept rocking me

Lulla-lulla-lullaby

Mother Stephania, Stephania mother

The field is blooming, but her hair is getting grey

Mother, sing me the lullaby

I want to hear your dear word

I‘m not a kid anymore, but she will always treat me like one

I‘m not a kid anymore, but she keeps worrying about me, anytime I‘m out

Mother, you are still young. If I don‘t appreciate your kindness, I‘m moving towards a dead-end

But my love for you has no end

Mother Stephania, Stephania mother

The field is blooming, but her hair is getting grey

Mother, sing me the lullaby

I want to hear your dear word
