People's Artist of Ukraine and composer
Pavlo Zibrov
translated his hit song "The Beloved Woman" into Ukrainian.
Now the song has an updated title
"The Woman I Love"
.
Pavlo Zibrov is one of the few Ukrainian artists whose hits were in the Ukrainian language - "Khreshchatyk", "Birthday", "Marina", "Dead bees don't buzz", "Mustache brand" and others.
In many interviews during the war, the artist emphasized that he regrets only one song, the composer and performer of which is "Zhenshchyna lyubimaya", which was loved by millions of listeners.
This composition was translated by many authors, but, unfortunately, Zibrov did not like them.

For the artist, this song is iconic, because it is dedicated to the wife of Pavel Mykolayovych, and was written in a matter of hours during the period when his daughter Diana was born.
The artist told how the Ukrainian-language version of the hit was born: "One day Mykola Shchur, the author of the original text, called me back. He says, Pavle, I see you are looking for someone who could translate the song "Beloved Woman" for you, why search, I already have a warrant. And it was a hit in the top ten. Since the author of the original text of this song cannot be felt by anyone, I was incredibly happy that the song received a second life in the author's Ukrainian translation by Mykola Shchur. Now it is called "The Woman I Love".

The People's Artist also presented a music video for the updated song, which was directed by the artist's daughter and PR manager, Diana Zibrova.
This is not the girl's first work as a director.

In the video, we see Pavel together with the band, as if in the sunset, interruptions of the artist himself, who is wrapped in fabric and various lighting solutions.

Style, lightness, restraint and refinement are felt in the video work.
Classic colors prevail.
