[Cz-L] Roots

The more we try- the less we know.
 Our roots are floating.
  We have no roots , not too deep ones anyway.
   Driven out from any place we tried to stay.
    Without a land or language we adapted to the places
  that let us live unmolested for a period.
  The 200 years of Habsburg rule were paradise.
   We embraced the rulers the language the culture.
    For them we were just a strategic oupost discarded in 1918.
     Leaving us for the Rumanians .
      A dream ended.
       The language of ours is full of Ukrainean traces that betray or
       origin.
        I know that this may hurt the feelings of many.
           Ukraineans ?
               Our language gives us away.
