#ukraine #traditional #50s

Ярослав Барнич - Роман Савицький, співає тріо бандуристок: Ніна Павленко, Тамара Поліщук, Валентина Третякова. 1956 рік
Темна нічка гори вкрила,
Полонину всю залила,
Лише постать сніжно-біла,
Гуцул Ксеню в ній впізнав.

Темна нічка гори вкрила,
Полонину всю залила,
Лише постать сніжно-біла,
Гуцул Ксеню в ній впізнав.

Приспів:
Гуцулко Ксеню,
Я тобі на трембіті
Лиш одній в цілім світі
Розкажу про свій жаль.
Душа страждає,
Звук трембіти лунає
А що серце кохає,
Бо гаряче мов жар.

Пролетіло жарке літо,
Гуцул іншу любить скрито,
А гуцулку синьооку
В ніч останню він прощав.

Приспів:
Гуцулко Ксеню,
Я тобі на трембіті
Лиш одній в цілім світі
Розкажу про свій жаль.
Душа страждає,
Звук трембіти лунає
А що серце кохає,
Бо гаряче, бо гаряче,
Бо гаряче мов жар.

Черемоша грали хвилі,
Сумували очі сині,
Лише вітер на соснині
Сумну пісню завивав.

[xana]

Дякую.Я також люблю цю пісню, для нашої родини вона "особлива". Мене звати Оксана (Ксеня). Цю пісню мій чоловік зранку співає для мене, щоб я просиналась.

I've found for you video "В.Івасюк "Водограй" і Смерічка Л.Дутковского". It's must be early 70s. The names in titles it's names of composer and founder of the bend. Vocalists are Nazariy Yaremchuk (the real legend of Ukrainian music) and the band 'Smerichka". On the end of this video you can see Volodymyr Ivasiyk, an other legend Ukrainian composer. Unfortunately, both of them are dead now but they was ones of the most important persons in Ukrainian music, when it got it's right for existing after sad period of repressions in 60s. Thank you!👏

The song is not directly related to the video.
The song was written in 1932. It is about a "Hutsul" man (Hutsuls are an ethnographic group of Ukrainians living in the Carpathians), who is in love with a Hutsul girl Ksenia, but the summer passes and he already loves another. The Hutsul people are temperamental, hot-tempered (perhaps similar to Italians) And the story in the song is just as full of feelings, passionate.

The video is an adaptation of Ivan Franko's play(1894). The events actually take place in the same region of Ukraine. Only the story is different there.
The play is called "Stolen Happiness". The story is very emotional. I think Shakespeare would appreciate it. The action takes place ~1870. Mykhailo and Anna loved each other and swore eternal fidelity. But they took Mikhail to the imperial army, and Anna's brothers, in order not to share the dowry with their sister, said that Mikhail had died. They forcibly gave the girl away to the mercenary Mykola, stealing from her not only her inheritance, but also her happiness. Years pass. Resigned to fate, Anna lives, and her family seems happy to her fellow villagers. But the "resurrected" Mykhailo suddenly appears, who became a gendarme - Anna's former love explodes with new force. Now Mykhailo is already stealing happiness from Mykola. But he, Mykhailo, was not destined to be happy either.

I wanted to add this song in my playlist for your ask songs of 60-70) but i thought, that this song was from 1939, when first was showed operetta. And I could not find a record of performance of "Gutsulka Ksenia" of 1956. 🥺Yaroslav Barnych - author of the operetta, he emigrated first to Germany, then to USA, and used to live over there in Cleveland since 1944.❤🌻

ky-iv

actually, 1939 - year of operetta, but song was ealier, 1936-1938. Also, there is a legend about gutsulka Ksenia, but might be somebody knows it better, then me.😍

[playfuldaisy]

[talichka]

It’s not a movie, just a music video to the song :)

[olhapavlenko]

It is very interesting to watch as a person from another country see your culture. Thank you for your reaction!

[nickp_ua]

Thank you, Momo! 🇺🇦🇬🇧 I thought about this song to recommend you. 🙂 I like it very much. My mother also sang it (at home).. There are many various versions of this song by different singers.

[lessia]

Randevu band has a modern version of Hutsulka Ksenia as well as Oksana Mukha (in tango style) I'm sure you'll like them both.

[waflya]

The song lyric don’t affect movie crop, totally. But it is the great song.
Thanks for popularization of UA culture!

[crocolagerfelden]

Man you are a treasure! Thank you so much for sharing with us ❤

[ЛеаСтар]

Oh my god where did you find this retro... it's incredibly old.. you're amazing, thank you))

[Lastivka_s_Dol_Blathanna]

I definitely advise you Sophia Rotarou "Draw me the night" of 1965 (Софія Ротару "Намалюй мені ніч")

Kyiv - Ukrainian pronunciation of the name. Kiev - Russian.
For a very long time, the Russian names of Ukrainian cities were used all over the world (Russian names of Belarusian cities still prevail). Only after 2014 did Ukrainian names become more common.
Although, the Russian explanation of the origin of the name "Ukraine" is still used more often in the world than the Ukrainian one. This is very sad. But with the countries that were part of the empires, this happens often. What the empire says about you is more important than what you say about yourself.

There've been a few remakes on this song from modern Ukrainian artists, including Malarevsky (you've reacted to him before) and YAKTAK (not sure if you've reacted to this one). I strongly recommend to check one of the remakes out, because this song sounds great in a male voice (as it should be sung since the lyrics are written from the man's perspective). Oh, and there was a nice interpretation of it by Dakh Daughters, but I think it was instrumental - sounded great anyeay)))

[olegmelnichuk-allen]

Go-tsool-ka…… named Kse-nia from Carpathian’s mountain ⛰️in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Ukrainian Tango musically speaking. Listen to some tango songs like Besame Mucho and whatnot, also find the version of Hutsulka Ksenia sang by a guy. I think Vopli Vidiplyasova had a cover of it.
Compare the melodies, the rythms.
It is tango on a musical level .

[natmaren]

Speaking of old music. Here's a selection of Ukrainian funk from the 70s. There are many tracks. You can make a reaction to the first two songs.

[legko_school_ua]

It was written in honor of a 15-year-old teenager who died in 2015 in Kharkiv. Then there was the Unity March, in which he took part, but died in a terrorist attack organized by pro-Russian people.
