Dulebes
The Dulebs (Dulebes) or (more correctly) Dulebi (Russian: Дуле́бы, Ukrainian: Дуліби) were one of the tribal unions of Early East Slavs between the 6th (still questionable) and the 10th centuries. Very little is known of them, with the main source being a handful of mentions in the Primary Chronicle.
The Chronicle describes them as a tribe that formerly lived along the Bug River, in what is today eastern Ukraine. Some medieval sources also mention the Dulebs' presence in Western Volhynia, today's Czech Republic, Middle Danube, between Lake Balaton and the Mursa River (Drava).
Historians are still not sure of the exact location of the native territory of the Dulebi due to sparseness of numerous traces of the Dulebi presence, found by researchers in Central and Eastern Europe. It is possible that the Dulebi tribe formed in the times of the Roman Empire somewhere in the vicinity of the Germanic or Bulgarian tribes (see Shambat or Kubrat) and later settled in different regions.
According to the Primary Chronicle, the Dulebi suffered greatly from the invasion of the Avars in the late 6th - early 7th century. In 907, the Dulebian unit took part in Oleg's military campaign against Czargrad. The Dulebs and their ruler were mentioned in one of the works of an Arab geographer Al-Masudi.

So Strong
by: Dale Bozzio(Written by Prince)
Hello darling did I awaken u?
I know that it's late
But there's something I've got to tell u
We only been together a very short time
But it seems that you're the only thing on my mind
2 everything else I have become blind
I don't know how u feel about me
But you're the only one I wanna see
So strong, so strong, this feeling I got 4 u is so strong
Only 4 a very short time I've known u
And already I feel like I was born 2 hold u
I don't know how you feel about me
But baby u are all that I wanna be-so strong
And you're so beautiful
With u I feel I have everything
U make me wanna laugh and cry
U make me wanna sing
If I could make u happy as u make me
Then my darling life would be complete
I owe u 4 the feeling when our eyes meet
I don't know how u feel about me
But you're the only one I wanna see
So strong, so strong this feeling I got 4 u is so strong
Only 4 a very short time I've known u
And already I feel like I was born 2 hold u
I don't know how u feel about me
But baby baby you're all I wanna be--so strong
(this feeling I got 4 you, so strong)
If I could make u happy as u make me
Then my darling life would be complete
I don't know how u feel about me
But baby baby you're all I wanna be
So strong so strong this feeling I got 4 u is so strong
Only for a very short time I've known you (so strong)
And already I feel like I was born 2 hold u (so strong)
I don't know how u feel about me
But baby you're all that I wanna be (so strong)
