Yak tebe ne lyubyty, Kyieve miy!

Yak tebe ne lyubyty, Kyieve miy! (Ukrainian: Як тебе не любити, Києве мій! English: How can I not love you, my Kiev?) is a lyrical song of Kyiv composer Ihor Shamo and lyrics by poet Dmytro Lutsenko. At first the song was performed in 1962 in duet by Yuriy Gulyayev and Kostiantyn Ohnyevyi who at that time performed at Kyiv Opera Theatre.

Rough translation
gollark: There's a collection of quotes like that in autohydraz!
gollark: Not for to forall or whatever, since they're totally different.
gollark: Oh, I'm just comparing `for` for all loops versus actually using separate keywords for semantically different things.
gollark: What's easier to read?
gollark: Go making all loops `for` (WHY DOES IT DO THAT) doesn't make it much simpler, since you still have to *know* all the weird ways to use it and so does the compiler.
