✱════════════════════✱✱═════════════════════✱ Hej, Sokoły, proper title Żal za Ukrainą, or Na zielonej Ukrainie is a Polish-Ukrainian folk song. The song's authorship is not completely certain, some historians attribute the writing of the song to the Ukrainian-Polish poet-songwriter Tomasz Padura (1801–1871), and others believe it was written by the Polish classical composer Maciej Kamieński. The lyrics exist in several versions about a Ukrainian girl to whom her betrothed, a cossack or an uhlan, says goodbye for the last time. It is sometimes presented as being either, or both, a Polish folk song or Ukrainian folk song. The lyrics vary only slightly between the two languages. ✱══λ
