Damn, I don't know Ukrainian It looks similar to Russian, but there are some differences.
But I found Russian translation
In English it will be something like that:
Duckling swimming through the Tisa
Duckling swimming through the Tisa(it's a river, as I understand)
Mom, do not scold me
Mom, do not scold me
Oh, remember at the dark time
remember at the dark time
I don't know, where I'll die
I don't know, where I'll die
Oh, I'll be killed in foreign land
I'll be killed in foreign land
Who will bury me
Who will bury me
Oh, alien people will bury me
alien people will bury me
Or you won't sorry, mama?
Or you won't sorry, mama?
Oh, son, how can't I be sorry?
Son, how can't I be sorry?
You were lying on my heart
You were lying on my heart
Oh, ducks are swimming through the Tisa
ducks are swimming through the Tisa.
And wikipedia says, that guys from Ukrainian Insurgent Army (guys, who used to fight for Hitler, killed a lot of civilians, made that "Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia" thing and a lot of other good things nazi, that nazis used to like) used that song.

I guess it kind of makes sense. So this was a pro-Nazi song? I wonder if it has a different meaning now. The lyrics could mean anything. It sounds like a military song. I just cannot see anyone paying respect to a Nazi song. I thought Ukraine was mostly Russian.
From what I can see, it was in the center of the fighting on the Eastern Front during World War II and there were some pro-Nazi groups in the western part.
We don't have martial songs like Europe does. Or did. Not like we see the Germans sing in history films. We have a service song for each branch of service, the US National Anthem, and some marching songs mostly complaining about the military food, the weather and life in the military. No "beer hall" songs where everyone sings along. We are too busy drinking

I can make a thread about russian marshes of White Guard army (One, non-communist side in Russian Civil War 1917-1922). I think they are good.
I can search for Red's songs, but I hate commies, so I don't wanna do that
