[Verse 1] Male: Beijing boardroom, EU envoys pulling up a chair, Trade talks open while the tariffs thicken in the air, Pressure's climbing like a kettle nobody dares to pour, Female: Meanwhile IEA and EU whisper by the oil-slicked door, Diesel stocks run thin, they're plotting a release, Barrels for the winter, keeping engines turning, peace. [Chorus] Разом, але обережно — together, careful pace, Europa holds the compass in a restless, shifting space, Brussels, Kyiv, Beijing — хто диктує ритм? Europa, слухай новини, catch the pulse, don't miss a beat of it. [Verse 2] Female: Ottawa's knocking, asking for a different kind of pact, Associate member status — Canada's defence contract, Not quite in but tied by cable, like a second verse harmonized, Male: Yet the cloud behind the data holds a catch that's compromised, If a provider's contract bends to foreign law's command, Digital pivot means your secrets rest in someone else's hand. [Chorus] Разом, але обережно — together, careful pace, Europa holds the compass in a restless, shifting space, Brussels, Kyiv, Beijing — хто диктує ритм? Europa, слухай новини, catch the pulse, don't miss a beat of it. [Verse 3] Male: African Union, Brussels, and the UN clasp their hands again, Calling it an entente — a quiet pact where rivals learn to bend, Multilateral promise, forged to keep the common peace intact, Female: But Ethiopia's conflict widens, spilling past the region's cracks, The High Rep speaks in careful words of worry for the neighbors near, Diplomacy on tiptoe, watching every escalating year. [Bridge] Male: Fifteen years' probation now for members waiting at the gate, Female: No more Orbán shadow play, they're learning patience can't be late, Male: WHO is counting childhood wounds across the Union's quiet homes, Female: Adverse beginnings carry costs no treaty fully owns, Male: Iceland, Norway counted too, the ledger's wide and long, Female: Europa writes the footnotes where the futures could go wrong. [Chorus] Разом, але обережно — together, careful pace, Europa holds the compass in a restless, shifting space, Brussels, Kyiv, Beijing — хто диктує ритм? Europa, слухай новини, catch the pulse, don't miss a beat of it. [Verse 4] Male: Across the Channel, London watches Brussels redraw lines, Female: Fishing rights and customs checks still tangled in the vines, Male: Energy grids humming as they trade in futures bought at dawn, Female: Europa counts her member states while winter marches on, Male: Every treaty whispers of a balance hard to keep, Female: Europa, слухай новини, don't fall asleep. [Outro] Male: October eighth, the headlines fold like maps into the dusk, Female: Europa, слухай новини — try to trust.
