Story behind the song
The "Oy" and "Ekh" aren't decoration. They carry the weight of toska, that specific Russian ache of a hard life lived with dignity. The father worked until he fell. The singer works the same spell. Drops in endless rain, suffering together, staying sane together. By midnight the gates open wide and the lament becomes a dance. It always does.
Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced with Suno AI.
Lyrics
(Oy, oy, oy yoy yooy)
The rooster crows, my fate is sealed
(eye eye yai eye eye yigh)
Another day in life's field
(Eh eh eh eh eh, eh eh ekh, eh eh ekh)
Cold water on my weary face
(Oy oy oy oy ooy)
My reflection shows no grace
(Eh eh eh eh eh, eh eh ekh, eh eh ekh)
The tea is bitter, bread is stale
(Oy oy oy oy ooy, eye-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo)
But still I dance through the gale
(Oy oy ooy ooy, dah dah)
Like my grandmother always said with sighs
(Eye dah dai dah dai, eye dah dai dah dai dah dai dah dai dah dai)
"Life is long, but days are short so work, and then you die"
(Eye yai yai yai yai, eye yai yai, eye eye yai)
Through dusty roads I make my way
(eye eye yai eye yai)
A thousand souls in disarray
(Eye yai yai yai yai-ai, eye eye yai-ai)
We are drops in endless rain
(Eye eye yai eye eye ai)
Together suffering, together sane
(Eye-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo, dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah dah dah)
(Oy oy oy oy oy, oy oy oy, oy oy oy)
The boss man shouts like thunder's roar
(Oy oy oy oy oy)
I've survived ten thousand days before
(Oy oy oy oy oy, oy oy oy, oy oy oy)
My lunch is cold, my back is bent
(Eye-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo)
But not my spirit's intent
(Eye yai yai yai yai, eye yai yai, eye eye yai)
Through dusty roads I make my way
(eye eye yai eye yai)
A thousand souls in disarray
(Eye yai yai yai yai-ai, eye eye yai-ai)
We are drops in endless rain
(Eye eye yai eye eye ai)
Together suffering, together sane
(Ekh-ee-ee-ekh)
My father worked until he fell
(ekh-ekh-ee-ekh)
Now I repeat the same spell
(Dah dah dah dah dah dah)
(Oy oy oy oy ooy)
But in my heart, fire burns true
(Hey dah dai dah dai dah dai, dah dai dah dai)
The clock moves slow like honey
(Dai dah dai dai dah dai)
But freedom waits for me
(Eye-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo lyoo, eye-lyoo-lyoo, eye-lyoo-lyoo)
(Dah dah dah dah dah)
(Tree-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo, eye-lyoo-lyoo, eye-lyoo-lyoo)
(Oy khoy khoy khoy oy)
The gates are open wide!
(Oy khoy khoy khoy oy)
My suffering pushed aside!
(Eye yai yai yai yai, eye yai yai, eye eye yai)
I walk with lighter feet tonight
(eye eye yai eye yai)
The struggle is bittersweet but right
(Eye yai yai yai yai-ai, eye eye yai-ai)
We are drops in endless rain
(Eye eye yai eye eye ai)
But tomorrow, I'll dance again
(Eye-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo, eye-lyoo-lyoo, eye-lyoo-lyoo)
Beneath the stars I count my blessings small
(oy oy oy oy oy)
(Eye-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo-lyoo, eye-lyoo-lyoo, eye-lyoo-lyoo)
Tomorrow comes, but I've survived it all
(oy oy oy oy oy-oy-oy)
(Oy, oy, oy yoy yooy)
May morning bring me strength once more
(eye eye yai eye eye... yigh)
Mmm... mmm...
