Rivne (Ukrainian: Рівне, Russian: Ровно; Polish: Równe) is a historic city in western Ukraine and the historical region of Volhynia. It is the administrative center of the Rivne Oblast (province), as well as the surrounding Rivne Raion (district) within the oblast. Before World War II the city was located in Poland and during the German occupation in 1941–44 the city was designated as a capital of the German Ukraine (Reichskommissariat Ukraine).
Rivne is an important transportation hub, with the international Rivne Airport, and rail links to Zdolbuniv, Sarny and Kovel, as well as highways linking it with Brest, Kiev and Lviv.
The estimated population was around 250,242 as of 2013.
Rivne was first mentioned in 1283 as one of the inhabited places of Halych-Volhynia. From the second half of the 14th century it was under the Great Duchy of Lithuania and from 1569 in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1492 the city was granted Magdeburg rights. Following the partition of Poland, in 1793 Rivne became a part of Russian Empire, and in 1797 it was declared as a regional town of the Volhynian Governorate.
Riwne (Ukrainian: Рівне, German: Königsau, Polish: Równe) is a village (selo) in Drohobych Raion, Lviv Oblast, in south-west Ukraine.
The village was established in the course of Josephine colonization by German Roman Catholic settlers in 1783. It was arranged in an unusual manner, within a pentagon, the only such colony in Galicia. In the planning process the village was to have a Catholic church built, which, however, did not happen until 1846.
From 1918 to 1939 the village was in Lwów Voivodeship in Poland. In 1936 the name of the municipality was changed to Równe. In January 1940 the local German population was moved out (Heim ins Reich), later replaced by Ukrainians.
[Verse 1]
Don't give me your tired act, after you been runnin 'round
The time you spend with me, you shouldn't be comin down.
Don't give me no attitude, sayin what you will and will not do
Baby we need compromise, we're gonna make it through.
Push yourself a little more boy
For me you gotta try a little harder
All I do is for the love of you
Show me you're always gonna be there
No matter what you're always gonna be there
Here's what you gotta do...
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Don't bring me no baggage cause, I've got plenty on my own
Bring me all your good stuff, baby leave the rest at home
You've got your own philosophy, wanna hear all that you believe
But if it ain't about being faithful
Then it ain't impressin me

No matter what you're always gonna be there
