My bubba used to sing this song. Wow. Haven’t heard it in over 30 years since she passed. She was from Vasilykov, near Kiev, Ukraine. What a memory. Thank you.

Vibrant and jolly - refreshingly natural - beauty of voice allowed to shine through gentle musical accompaniment

"People pick the black cherries and leave the green ones be, the pretty girls are taken and the ugly ones are left alone... oh woe is me and my years, I played around in love, wasted so much time... etc. etc.

I believe the song is called shvartse karshelekh (black cherries). You could find a full translation online.

Tsars didn't allow Jews to live on in ethnic Russian areas, hence they lived in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus and Lithuania.

Wonder of wonders! Fifty odd years ago I heard Herschel Bernardi sing Oi veh iz zu mir on a long play still ringing in my head. Refreshing to hear Olga sing it again. Thanx YouTube.😊

It breaks my heart knowing that these beautiful souls and their wonderful culture are gone forever.

איזה טוהר ואיזה הדר. ממש כאב לב. למרות השירים השמחים. עולם שהלך ואיננו עוד. עולם של חסד אור וזוהר

If there'd be more of such culture exchange and sharing of such pearls then I think humanity would at least have the opportunity to understand eachother that much better!🤔🤔🤔😘

I never really thought about my father's background too much until the war started with Ukraine! Realized that our Jewish heritage on my father's side is from Odessa and Kiev. My Great Grandfather was killed in a Pogrom Against JewsIn the early 1900s.
My Great grandmother fled with all her children to Brazil after getting Visas thru my great Aunt who was Married to the Brazilian ambassador to France.
