Plyve Kacha (Ukrainian Folk Song) - Olga Vocal Ensemble
If you enjoyed this, join us on PATREON:
A haunting Ukrainian folk song. Translation:
A duck swims upon the Tysyna [river].
Mother of mine, don’t cry for me.
You will cry for me in an evil hour;
I don’t know myself where I will die.
I will perish in a strange land,
And who will bear me to the grave?
Foreign people will carry me out.
Won’t this be a grief to you, mother?
How ever, little son, could it not bring grief?
You [once] lay upon my heart.
... A duck swims upon the Tysyna.
