[TheWatcher465]

You can't take each others culture but you should respect it. I've just watched at least 20 versions of this song and there are many different lyrics and all are fine by me, Ukrainian & Polish though I don't understand all the Polish lyrics. I am also one who was brought up in Australia and never had a problem with Polish/Ukrainian rivalry though we all did History in Polish/Ukrainian schools. So what? Borders change, particularly in Europe. I love my Ukrainian heritage. It can't be taken away.

[TheWatcher465]

First off, folk music has always relied on traditional melodies that are often given new lyrics. Secondly I am Ukrainian. I know I am Ukrainian, I know I am not a Pole (or Polak) I hope neither of those words are offensive. Poland has no claim over Ukraine, we are not Poles. Having said that, my fathers best friend was Polish and I had a better time growing up with my Polish friends than my Ukrainian ones who were consistently boring. That doesn't mean I want to be a Pole.

[poszolwon]

@TheWatcher465, Hm I don't recall seeing this clip or commenting on it at all. I have read the book, And Quiet Flows the Don and enjoyed it. Also have the Russian DVD of the book. I can't say I would have abused Italian singers either so I don't know what's going on. The whole thing makes no s...

[bloemfonteiner2]

hej, hej, hej sokoły, omijajcie góry, lasy, doły! :)

[genZelee]

ale plagiaty polskich pieśni narodowych;)

[irynski]

@genZelee Actually, the melody is that of a much older Ukrainian Cossack song, "Їхав козак за Дунай" (A Cossack Rode beyond the Danube) which is still sung in Ruthenian (an version of Ukrainian several centuries old). Here are a couple of examples, the first by the Kuban Cossacks, another put to a terrible Hollywood clip:

watch?v=JLoWA-5xAVI

Ultimately, where cultures overlap, so can folksongs, etc. To be honest, I'd rather people think it Polish to being Russian!!!

[irynski]

@genZelee While I am Ukrainian of direct Cossack lineage, I would much prefer Ukrainians be confused with Poles than Russians. I have many Polish friends here in the diaspora - Australia - and we get on like 'zemliaki'. We have a tragically bloody history but, nevertheless, are of ethnicities who favour enlightenment & celebrate our similarities & differences. I think Russophiles would love to claim both of our cultures for their own. Russians are the most arrogant, unenlightened of the Slavs.

[yerk3]

@irynski The characteristic look of Cossack traditional folk costume is closer to what people were wearing in Poland in the 1500s than in Russia at the same time anyway. The baggy red dungarees and sashes that the men wore, as well as their long mustaches, were part of a general style that was worn stretching from Poland and Ukraine all the way through to Greece, Turkey and Persia, but for some reason excluding Russia where they dressed in a completely different style.

[irynski]

@yerk3 Right! I am aware of traditional clothing in our regions over the 500 years, or so. Muscovites adopted different 'fashions/modes'. In fact, this is from whence the term 'katsap' emanated! Rather than the moustaches which graced men's faces, Russians wore pointed beards which they waxed. Eastern Ukrainians considered that this made them look like billy goats. In those regions, 'tsap' was a colloquialism for goat, while 'kak' meant 'like', hence 'katsap' was a contraction for 'like a goat'!

[poszolwon]

@irynski nastepny z Alzheimerem?

[irynski]

@poszolwon lol!

[irynski]

@yerk3 Indeed, the 'Russians' were Muscovites. They took advantage of the Mongol invasion to loot & pillage Kiev: taking gold from the church domes; stealing ancient artefacts that tied our common heritage & basically behaved like the marauding nomadic tribes they represented.

Interestingly, there are many common stories (as in common oral tradition) between Poles & Ukrainians extolling the virtues of those who died to steer nomadic plunderers away from their villages, etc.

@irynski dawniej spiewalo sie, szla dzieweczka do llaseszka, tera, pewnie laseczek ten sam, ale lykanie wiadomosci, dzieweczce na zdrowie nie wyszlo.. Co,z niech sedalej ciagnie historie. /nic wspolnego z histeria/.

Z szcunkiem, Janusz

[Podlasiakpl]

@irynski I am a Pole and have to agree with your assesment. There is much to unite both nations, than divide. There many dark chapters, WW2 and genocide on polish would be one, but we can forgive if asked to do so. Both nations will be better off if working together, than divided and conquered by russians. Russians exhibit most agressive behavior over centries towards neighbours.

[irynski]

@Podlasiakpl Absolutely, my friend. As you have noted, ignorance & hatred have led to savagery no reasonable human being could condone. There is room enough to celebrate our individual ethnicities/cultures as well as celebrate that we are a fraternity.

I've seen so much of the bloody-mindedness expressed by Russians around YouTube to make me fear for the future of our nations. As their Empire has fallen, their children have been brought up eye us greedily. Their words make my blood run cold!

[poszolwon]

@Podlasiakpl dobra, historia, historia, panikarz nie jestem, tylko ciekawi mnie, co bedzie na tym swiecie, gdy zabraknie Ukraincow, Polakow,Rosjan, Zydow. no dobra, dorzucmy jeszcze paru niepalacych Niemcow, ze dwoch Angoli, paru Wlochow , jedna Bialorusinke...etc,etc. ...kazdy ma prawo do zycia i wyrazania swoich opini na ten temat.

nawet Chinczycy i Hindusi. z szacunkiem JK

[kolgalutsk]

@irynski Thank you for your comment! Dear "ZEMLIAKI" ( ЗЕМЛЯКИ!!! ) - welcome to Ukraine, to our lovely Volyn and to very nice tower Lutsk!!!!!!!

[irynski]

@kolgalutsk Дуже приємно познайомитися! Oh, yes, for anyone reading this, Volyn's'ka oblast' (the Volyn Region) is beautiful! It is the heart of agricultural Ukraine steeped in history & beauty. I intend to go back again in the next couple of years. Велика україна ('Greater' Ukraine) should be on everyone's travel guide as an experience not to be missed. I know people think Kiev/Kyiv is amazing, but Volyn & Poltava are a truly unmissable part of our culture.

Цілую Вас міцно з діаспори!

[GeminiXT]

@irynski Well said!

[irynski]

@GeminiXT Bardzo dziękuje!

[irynski]

[Meszaroscanada]

@genZelee ale jestes glupi!!!! nie znasz sie na historii Polski to sie nie odzywaj. Mamy wiecej wspolnego z Ukraincami niz Ci sie wydaje. Zacznij od pierwszej klasy. Capie. Przynosisz wstyd Polakom na calym swiecie swoja ignorancja. Brrrrrrrrr

[rusycz]

Гарна пісня! Шкода що українці мало її співають.

[lappeenranta92]

@rusycz

No szkoda, jeżeli wiesz o tym więcej niż ja. Wybieram się w okolice Stryja do rodziny której nigdy jeszcze nie widziałem, piszemy tylko listy i rozmawiamy przez telefon, mam nadzieję, że sobie pośpiewamy;-) Pozdrowienia.

[zbigpron]

@rusycz Ładna pieśń parwda. W Polsce jest bradzo popularna, często i chętnie śpiewana :-)

[Arlangur2011]

@rusycz тому що она неукраїнська це переклад з польскої

[rusycz]

Це неправда. Пісня написана українцем Тимком Падурою і перекладена на польську.

[Meszaroscanada]

@rusycz Polacy spiewaja i lubia. nie bedzie zapomniana!!

[Nahtahani]
