Shchedryk / Щедрик. Carol of the Bells. Original Ukrainian Version with English and Ukrainian Lyrics

[@viktorskyba9868]

This is a gift from Ukrainians to the world.

Unfortunately, I don't think they (Ukrainians) are getting the credit and recognition truly deserved here. Their own composers and artisans of all kinds are less well-known than they should be, this musical arrangement a prime example. Everyone thinks this a "christmas song" when it has nothing to do with that Middle-eastern religion whatsoever.

Звичайно було б добре коли знали б більше але для того слід самим вчитися тому хто ми є і, що робили наші предки.

Most mystical about it, I find, is that it is a pagan song dating from before Christianity in Ukraine, later adapted to become the Bell Carol. I love this fact because it proves how even before the religion, these people were seeing the beauty of the universe and honoring it in what was their New Year celebration, which for Slavic pagans began in the spring, when the shchedryk emerged. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKbNlaKiaKuBmbs&ab_channel=VictorAlexiev this video explains it and just look at these visuals!

A little story about this song: 1918-1919 was a short period in our history when was firstly announced independent Ukraine (UNR: Ukrainian Folk Republic), and Germany was the first country who admit it. In that period our country was divided between some political forces, and one of them - anticommunistic - was headed by Symon Petliura, who sent our choir, consisted mostly of members of Kyiv university choir "Dnipro", to Europe in 1919 to tell other peoples that we are separate nation with our own traditions and culture. But earlier in 1916 that choir firstly performed that song with Leontovych´ music version written in the beginning of XX century (lyric was folk and very ancient). The composer was later killed by russian chekist, but it is another story. In the USA Shchedryk was firstly performed in 1922 with the same choir who emigrated there and never returned to Ukraine because it finished her existence for long decades because of Soviet Union. This song became popular in 17 countries and only in 1936 was covered as "Carol of the bells" by P. Wilhousky, who was an american with Ukrainian roots. Some years ago it was found the vinyl disk with earliest English version of this song, it called "Bluebirds" and close by meaning to the original. It was presented in Kamyanets-Podilsky, where Petliura had his government and where he sent the choir with mission to Europe from. And it was sung again with modern "Dnipro" choir, you can look for the records in KZbin.

[@xy6845]

Thanks for sharing this very interesting story of how this folk song became "the carol" which is so well known today! I find nobody sings it better than Ukrainian choirs, you cannot really copy it. I think it's very important in these times once again to promote Ukrainian culture around the world. Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the heroes

@@blackduck9686 You are talking nonsense. Because, only the Russian Empire and the Bolsheviks were to blame. Ukrainian nationalists at that time were Volodymyr Vynnychenko, Mykhailo Hrushevskyi and Simon Petliura, who fought for independence against the Bolsheviks. Poland did not influence Ukrainian culture at that time. Polonization took place after the release of this song. Polonization also took place in the territories of the ZUNR. Therefore, regarding Shchedryk. The RUSSIANS are to blame. They have been destroying Ukrainian culture and Ukrainians since time immemorial, Mykola Leontovych is a vivid example. You are talking about a completely different time in the history of Ukraine. So go back to school and learn about Ukrainian revolutions)

Written in 1916 by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovich and titled “Shchedryk,” the song tells the tale of a swallow flying into a household to proclaim the plentiful year that the family will have. The song's title is derived from the Ukrainian word “shchedryj,” which means “bountiful.”

Just discovered the origin of “Carol of the Bells” in a random article, and immediately sought out the source; thrilled to be able to hear the original Ukrainian lyrics mixed so seamlessly with their English translation. Thank you! I’ve only ever known it as a Christmas carol, and while it’s one of my favorites, it always gave me a completely different feeling about the holiday than the other carols. It somehow seemed to emphasize the surreal and mystical elements surrounding the lore of the season, even though the lyrics in both versions make no allusions to them. It’s a fantastic song with a great name. -Edit: Just realized this is you singing (lots of channels post content they find elsewhere) and by golly you’re fantastic!

Аж мороз по шкірі... Пісня переносить мене у дитинство, у новорічні свята, у родину... Одразу відчуваю запах морозного повітря і чую, як рипить сніг під ногами.. вже темна пора і дітвора біжить додому, всі, як сніговики - обліплені снігом, змерзли, але щасливі... Дякую за гарну пісню і спогади.. Слава Україні!

Magnificent. Incredibly beautiful. Only in recent days have I learned that this song was the original composition to which English lyrics were derived and called Carol Of The Bells. It was introduced to the West and made its American debut at Carnegie Hall in 1922. There, it was sung by a Ukrainian choir when Ukraine was fighting Russia for its freedom. How sad, how glorious that exactly 100 tears later Ukraine again fights Russia for its freedom. Slava Ukraini.

Ever since I first heard this version of the song last spring I must hear it a least once a week, it's so beautifully performed. Me, I am proud just to stand with Ukraine, like all decent civilised people in the world do, at least if they know what's going on there. Here in Scandinavia I haven't heard of anyone not wanting to support Ukraine all the way, and no matter the cost. Ukraine must and will win. Slava Ukraini! - Heroyam Slava! - Stay safe!

[@larsrons7937]

@@rubberduckyconvoy2723 I too cry. Every day. I never had children. But I do have feelings. These tragedies happen every day in Ukraine, and it's unpredictable where. Russia can't win over Ukraine on the battlefield, so instead they fight the civilians, with weapons meant to destroy large military targets. It is pure terror. Russia want to reconquer everything they once "had" (back then it was also stolen by force), they are potetially at war with almost everything around them. Russia chose their war to be fought in Ukraine now. Ukraine is only defending itself, and is fighting for survival. Survival of all of us. If Russia wins Putin will continue. Ukraine must (and will) win. For the safety of all. But most of all for the Ukrainians, who never deserved such terror being thrown at them. Putin's regime today is pure evil. Until it falls it will be a threat to everything near Russia. Putin's regime must fall, and it can only happen on the battlefield in Ukraine. Ukraine must win the war so thoroughly that Russia collapses, or completely changes to an all different kind of government. Here in Scandinavia we've always tried to be very tolerant, towards the Soviets and Russia too. There's no tolerance left towards Russia now, you can't be tolerant to a murderous mafia boss who let people kill or suffer to achieve and keep power. No matter how much we believe in peace and tolerance, at this point we need our military mind to achieve it. That means supporting Ukraine, as much, as soon and in every way they need it. And there are as many good reasons to support Ukraine as there are decent, civilised people on the planet. Now I hope we all send the victory load of weapons Ukraine needs to finish the war as soon and thoroughly as possible, to end the terror and suffering. To let children again grow up in a nice warm world of good relations between people. To grow up to become decent, civilised, friendly human beings themselves. The children must be our biggest concern, they are our future. I, we all, firmly trust that Ukraine will push the Russians all the way back, win the war, liberate all their territories, put an end to all the terror. And begin a new future, with many wounds to heal, but with freedom, security, peace, prosperity - and many new friends. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! Stay safe! _...now give a hug to your daughter from someone in a country far away who is glad that she is among us and wish her to be safe and happy._
