"1944" was the Ukrainian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, performed by Jamala.
After finishing as runner-up in the second semi final, It won the Contest with 534 points, beating the record set by Alexander Rybak's winning entry "Fairytale" under the old voting system in 2009.
It was the country's second win, coming twelve years after Ruslana gave them their first victory and made it the first former-Soviet country win the Contest twice. It was also the first winning entry in its own language since 2007.
Lyrics[]
When strangers are coming
They come to your house
They kill you all and say
We’re not guilty, not guilty
Where is your mind? Humanity cries
You think you are gods but everyone dies
Don’t swallow my soul
Our souls
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
We could build a future
Where people are free
To live and love
The happiest time, our time
Where is your heart? Humanity rise
You think you are gods but everyone dies
Don’t swallow my soul
Our souls
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım, ooh
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım, oh, oh
Men bu yerde yaşalmadım
Yaşlığıma toyalmadım
When strangers are coming
They come to your house
They kill you all and say
We’re not guilty, not guilty
Where is your mind? Humanity cries
You think you are gods but everyone dies
Don’t swallow my soul
Our souls
I couldn’t spend my youth there
Because you took away my peace
I couldn’t spend my youth there
Because you took away my peace
We could build a future
Where people are free
To live and love
The happiest time, our time
Where is your heart? Humanity rise
You think you are gods but everyone dies
Don’t swallow my soul
Our souls
I couldn’t spend my youth there, ooh
Because you took away my peace
I couldn’t spend my youth there
Because you took away my peace
I couldn’t spend my youth there, oh, oh
Because you took away my peace
I couldn’t spend my youth there
