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.
