Shche ne vmerla Ukraina

The glory of Ukraine has not yet perished, nor the will.
Still upon us, young brothers, fate shall smile.
Our enemies shall vanish, like dew in the sun.
We too shall rule, brothers, our country.
Soul and body shall we lay down for our freedom,
And we will show, brothers, that we are of the Cossack nation!

I don't know if its because there's like an "old Ukrainian" that these ladies are singing in or what, but these lyrics basically break Google Translate.
But as near as I can figure, the jist of the song is a conversation between a young girl and her Cossack lover. She says "Who will hold me while you're gone" and he says, "Find someone else, for I probably won't return"

Again, it's hard to say what they're saying but it seems to be about a Cossack lying in a field communing with nature, but then has verses about grieving mothers and children not coming home.

First verse sung in Cherokee
second verse in English
it is the same text both times.
I will not leave this land
no, I will never go
the dirt is my heart
and the water is my soul
I am this land
and I want you to see
that I am a human
and you are just like me.
chorus
And my tears have run dry
and I cannot grieve
but I am still praying
that you will finally leave

A shovel with a broken handle
A lantern lacking any candle
Words misspelled by vandals
Another manufactured scandal
Chorus
Computers at the bottom of the sea
Some things just shouldn't ever be
No way that you can reason with them
Antikythera Mechanism
Can't shift the S#!t that still abounds
(A shovel with a broken handle)
Can't make 'em take a look around
(A lantern lacking any candle)
Can't see the wring on the wall
(Words misspelled by vandals)
Can't see anything at all
(Another manufactured scandal)
repeat Chorus
Is there anything we can do?
{Can't shift the S#!t that still abounds}
(A shovel with a broken handle)
Are there any choices we can choose?
{Can't make 'em take a look around
(A lantern lacking any candle)
Is there anything that can be done?
{Can't see the wring on the wall}
(Words misspelled by vandals)
Are there any answers from anyone?
{Can't see anything at all}
(Another manufactured scandal)
Anyone?!?!
Chorus with additional lyrics
(All reason is lost)
(A season of cost)
(is coming)
Bridge
in a world where there's no truth
only lying
is there really any use
in trying?
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go (c'mon! lets get down)

Russians

In Europe and America
There’s a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Khrushchev said we will bury you
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
[Instrumental break]
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president
There’s no such thing as a winnable war
It’s a lie we don’t believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
