SHEDRIK - Carol of the Bells CHARIVNA

[PalcauAlex]

Very nice ,who sings ?

[Volkodav21]

Russians are slavs, that ugro finnish crap maybe so for some northern early tribes but Ukraine did not exist before Kiev Rus. Before Kiev RUS the land was ruled by different slavic and nonslavic nations who moved from place to place but as far as states, Kiev Rus was the first official state that united most eastern slavs and only after that Ukraine appeared as a region or a part of it. As far as before Kiev Rus I can divide both Russians and Ukrainians into hundreds smaller nations. Your wrong!

[SquillaceSquirell]

Their voices freak me the hell out (just because they're so high-pitched). This is the song I would imagine would play as I'm being chased by a little girl ghost through and empty mansion!

[gaza2421]

You're easily freaked out

[jakisemo]

I don't know any other language other than English. I do know that this sounds 483967493867498375894375984375­984375983475984275982358934658­7436584937684 trillion times better in Ukrainian, though.

[serlon99]

@jakisemo Is that the same as infinitely? Oh, I agree with you.

[abelcool23]

приятный голос, но все еще работают на изображениях

[phoneixs]

Nice song, difficult to found it with original lyrics. You normally found Christmas Carol lyric.

[blackhorizon135]

Beautiful! Russian and Ukrainian are so similar!

[AmazGraz]

This is beautiful! I'm so sorry for all you hav suffered over there.

[masterdavidecrespi]

straordinario………non ho parole

[FereldenRefugee]

Ugh my choir director is making us watch this 17 times, and the alto is so breathy and quiet it doesn't make a difference!!!! x(

[jakisemo]

Someone needs to put this on a 10 hour loop for me, so I can play it over and over for 10 hours. :D

[animefanatica]

Ahhh My choir prof wants us to pronounce that. Its so hard but btw I love the song

[elBorrachoGuapo]

This may seem like a dated video from the early 1980's to people in the US, but let's not forget this video was filmed in Eastern Europe last month.

People of Europe rejoice; low-rise jeans are coming soon!

[jcyrkr]

A beautiful carol sang by four beautiful girls. Could not be better!

[bartsimpson67543]

Whats up with the Janis Joplin video in the side bar

[SlavicPatriota]

slavic music :)

[Plecostomus308]

Thumbs up for the performance & music but not for the video itself.

[81CityGuerilla84]

Красиво.

[goldbird29]

The stuff flying of their mouths is needless and disturbes somewhat. It's a dated record, however, we barbarians do not harm women whatsoever. We have plentry offspring either way.

[banderiwka]

Дівчата !

У вас голоси ангелів !!!

[madder66mortem]

This is nice. The women reminded me of ABBA!

[radagastr]

Щедрої та смачної куті усім, усім, усім.

[gurzufff]

Щедрик, щедрик, щедрівочка, Прилетіла ластівочка, Стала собі щебетати, Господаря викликати: «Вийди, вийди, господарю, Подивися на кошару, - Там овечки покотились, А ягнички народились. В тебе товар весь хороший, Будеш мати мірку грошей, Хоч не гроші, то полова, В тебе жінка чорноброва.» Щедрик, щедрик, щедрівочка, Прилетіла ластівочка.

[Couchshooter]

Прекрасна українська щедрівка, мельодійні жіночі голоси, чудові українські красуні!

Народні скарби!

[Talyafiore]

З Рiздвом Христовим!!! Щастя усiм i добробуту!

[Hetman1974]

Pavarotti said Italian and Ukrianian is the only languages that suit high end singing. Ukrainian is soft, whereas Russian is hard and gutteral.

[lenkasp]

@Hetman1974 you clearly dont speak russian nor ukrainian

[12stel]

@Hetman1974 yup, Ukrainian and Italian are considered 2 of the most melodic languages in the world - it's because they both have a lot of words ending in vowels or if they don't , they can be made to end in vowels. Russian is probably the worst, cannot sing high notes plus sound romantic when you have to end in "ть" or "гдть"

[oracle2world]

Nice voices ... the retro fashions a bit of a hoot.

[heroinwhoreable]

WOW! AWESOME! *favs*

[RayGettings]

Pure Beauty

[kachyr]

Чудова Українська Народна Пісня! Wonderful Ukrainian Folk Song!

Щиро Вітаю Всіх З Новом Роком та Різдвом Христовом! Христос Раждається!

Привіт з Канади!

[IamKatyusha]

@kachyr З Новим Роком та Рiздвом Христовим! Дiйсно дуже гарна пiсня.

Happy New Year and Marry Christmas! Really very good song. =)

[mrubchak]

Yes, the comment that Orthox Christmas comes 13 days after Roman Catholic is corret. It is epiphany that comes 19 days, and that is when Shchedryk (Carol of the Bells is sung)

[im3gfree]

Yes this is beautiful and part of my heritage but it saddens me when we isolate our minds by thinking that all people are different when in reality we are all the same and came from the same origin . its time to wake up and start to live as one and get our of the dream of separation and harm. Yes our life here is just a dream from which our purpose is to awaken from.

[iwanowycz]

Nice :)

[PhonedBanana]

You are wrong, it is new years time, not Christmas time, and their new years was not in January, so it was no where near Christmas, the whole Christmas part of this song was only changed.

[mrubchak]

@PhonedBanana

This ia a Ukrainian epiphany song. Nothing New Year's about it. It comes 19 days after Xmas. Date depends upon the calendair being used--Julian or Gregorian

[vilktube]

@mrubchak

Orthodox Christmas comes 13 days after the Western (or Roman-catholic and protestant), not 19 days. ;)

[Camelea7]

@valsmith706 Very good Val. Thank you for sharing the Christmas songs.

[tabnnadya]

if we americans learned more meaningful information about language, cultures and geography at a young age, maybe we could discern the sounds of the languages better. at the same time, politically the ukraine is so proud to be independent and has worked very hard to have and keep its own identity separate, so offense is understandable. the beautiful singing, traditional costumes and beauty of the singers make this timeless. only the glasses and technology are dated...

[mrubchak]

@tabnnadya

Not THE Ukraine. Just Ukraine, like any other country in the singular

[SweetAngelcakes55]

That was....mean.... its not his fault for being an idiot saying that Russians and Ukrainians are the same........... yeesh leave him alone!

[eloaxacocabron]

still I think the sing beautifull Rusian or not

[missshuzz]

@eloaxacocabron it's Ukrainian

[Annesilie]

@arkanjul I SO agree!! nowadays you see politicaly-oriented comments on every possible song! people forget about the music and don't even listen to it cuz they care about the stupid people talking about their stupid pride and history they so strongly try protect but have no idea if it's wrong or right! just listen to the song and smile - no one gives a f*ck who or what you are. it's not like you're gonna prove anything to anyone... :/

[bloodsk8dotcom]

kozaku do sraki, sho tam u moskalyaki. slava ukraini - geroyam slava!

[talinnia]

чудове виконання

[CossackOfUkraine]

it is Ukraine))) nice/

короче ладнє)

[neylakinz]

Russians =/= Ukrainians. The only similarity really is that we have a corresponding history, and similar language. |: /Russian.

[halfnapil]

@neylakinz Check "Moskaly 2" on YT.

[TheMusicMissy]

@eloaxacocabron It's something like... french people and americans are the same. just white people to me. I hope you get it how stupid it sounds?

[eloaxacocabron]

@TheMusicMissy I am in fact a racist thus it makes sense to me, but since you are white it confuses you, no problem I understand how this can also be confusing

[EsaulRuss]

Great Ukrainian Folk song, adopted by the West and renamed Carrol of Bells.

[Blackadder75]

I wish it was a bit longer, like 3 minutes....

I don;t want it to end so soon

[eloaxacocabron]

dude I love Russian speaking woman

[TheCityDreamer]

@eloaxacocabron It's Ukrainian. ROFLMAO!!

[eloaxacocabron]

@TheCityDreamer so whats the difference?

[TheCityDreamer]

@eloaxacocabron The difference is that you're stupid enough to comment about your fetish for Russian women on a video of a Ukrainian song. :]

[eloaxacocabron]

DUDE YOU ARE MAD BECAUSE i CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RUSIANS OR UKRANIANS GIVEN THAT MY COMMENT OFFENDED YOU ALL I CAN SAY IF GO FUCK YOURSELF MR i CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO SIMILAR LOOKING RACES

[AndreySvistun]

@eloaxacocabron Listen now, you idiot, i will tell you ONE DAMN TIME: UKRAINIANS AND RUSSIANS ARE DIFFERENT NATIONS. D.I.F.F.E.R.E.N.T. READ? Or you can't read? Okay, again. DIFFERENT. I am Ukrainian, and i have NOTHING similar or identical with Russia. NOTHING. Got it? And just dare to offend my nation with these stupid comments like "what's the difference?". Go and learn first, THEN comment something. Got it? Dismissed.

[MustangGT520]

@AndreySvistun what the fuck

ukraine cant live without russia

you have everything to do with russia

[lenkasp]

@AndreySvistun its not different at all its just those fascists like yourself who create the hostility

[AntinaziHippy]

@AndreySvistun Nazi?

[Volkodav21]

@AndreySvistun I am Ukrainian and I consider myself Russian too. Ukraine is ancient Russia same people, you're probably one of those pro nato, half polish, half banderovic nazi scum. It doesn't get any closer than Ukraine and Russia! Learn kistory yourself!

[MrLmfc]

@Volkodav21 Савяне!=)

[tamcon72]

@Volkodav21

The Russians are Ugro Finnish peoples originally; the Ukrainians are Slavs. The persistence of this disinformation campaign insisting that they are the same people--despite their languages, myths, foods, folkaways, and geographies being different--shows the desperation of the those continuing to disseminate it.

The chauvinist-revisionist view is fading away into antiquity, where it belongs. I am Ukrainian, and the Russian people, bless them, are most certainly not MY people.

[leska001]

Це Вам, шановний, потрібно повчити історію. Ніколи Україна не мала добра від Імперської росії, як і не має зараз. Говорячи про единість народів, Ви відверто розповсюджуєте брехню. А про бандерівців могли б і не згадувати, вони жили цією країною, як ніхто іншийКраще слухайте українську щедрівку та не брешіть надалі.

[MrLmfc]

@AndreySvistun Разницы нету. Мы братья, братья Славяне. А вражда пусть будет для продажных президентов. Русский и украинцы очень похожи, мы один народ., так-же как и сербы, малороссы и остальные православные cлавянские народы народы. мы славяне. и что-бы ты не говорил, разница только в языке, да и то несущественная

[Jnznyj1chelovek]

@MrLmfc Русский и украинцы очень похожи, мы один народ.,

===================

Слава Богу мы не один народ и с каждым годом отдаляемся друг от друга ментально, но по отношению к этой песне, где-то так. Есть мнение, что это песня дошла до наших дней со времен до христианской Киевской Руси.

[leska001]

Ніколи ми братами не були і не будемо. Хіба імперська войовничий народ можє бути рідною до миролюбної нації? Однозначно-ні. В нас усе різне: і традиції, і свята, і мова, і культура, і сприйняття тих чи інших явищ, і менталітет. Закінчуйте вже з цією великорадянською брехнею про братні народи.

[Volkodav21]

@leska001 Я говорил про людей, а не про власть, шановний. От Российской власти и Русские люди всегда страдали, даже сейчас чем Украинская власть отличается от Русской? Такие же точно. Про Истроию, забыл как поляки казаков били и как православные против запода бились вместе, против монголо-татар вместе отбивались, против турков воевали вместе, или ты хотел сейчас немецким рабом быть? Запад уже разорвал Югославию, хочешь у натовцев за серебренеки работать?

[leska001]

@Volkodav21

Чомусь ніхто не згадує про ту ж Францію, яка без жодного пострілу здалась нацистам. Вони зараз раби німецькі? До чого тут поляки? Мова йде про самобутність народу та нації, про два окремших державних утворення, а не про те, хто і коли з ким воював. Не мішайте котлети та мухи.

[Volkodav21]

@leska001 По этому и не рабы потому что Русские, Украинцы, и Белорусы вместе были. Самобутнисть началась после распада Руси, до этого была одна держава, и то казаки воевали за Русских а потом их предавали также как и русских. Про "два окремших державних утворення", посмотри видео от гайцев до правительства, и почитай газеты, что Русские что Украинцы, одно и тоже. Ты знаешь сколько украинцев в России живет? По фамилиям посмотри если разбираешься.

[herzz86]

@eloaxacocabron Are you Canadian ?

[TheCityDreamer]

@eloaxacocabron I'm a girl. Hahaha. ^^ And you left Caps Lock on. :]

[Kathryn285]

@eloaxacocabron Dude... you're arguing with everyone here for nothing. What you are doing would be like telling the Spanish that they are like Italians... or that the Chinese are the same as the Japanese. Not only is it not the same... but it is insulting.

In this case, it is especially insulting, because Ukraine and Russia have a VERY negative history. Try telling an Irish man that he's english. He'd break your nose.

I speak ukrainian, and I don't understand russian.

[EsaulRuss]

@Kathryn285 Yes sir! or if you call a Scotsman an English man and he will piss in your pocket :-)

[12stel]

@eloaxacocabron You say that you don't know the difference between russian and ukrainian, then why would you write "russian" when it clearly states in the the description "ukrainian" and nothing in the video refers to anything russian. Obviously you know the issues between the two very well and are just looking for a fight. Or you are Russian. Either way, you re an idiot.

[cbthrockarefaces]

@TheCityDreamer amen this guy is a dumb bitch dude i hate when ppl say Ukrainian and Russian is the same thing.. I'm Ukrainian .. ok well half and i will not let a dipshit like you say Ukrainains an Russians are the samething just to make people less confused

[SugoiSeshira761]

@cbthrockarefaces the best thing to do would be to use statistics :)

like for example, the percentage of similarity of ukrainian language with the russian language = 64 %

even polish has a higher similarity percentage! (72%)

belarussian is probably the most similar, though it is argued that it's so close to russian that they're practically the same (88%)

[KingaMadinga]

@SugoiSeshira761 Polish 12% more similar with Russian than Ukrainian? Or 72% with Ukrainian? Because yes I would definitely say Polish and Ukrainian are closer -- especially Eastern dialects of Polish which are even harder to distinguish from Ukrainian. But Polish and Russian? :|

Sorry if I misinterpreted what you're saying.

[SugoiSeshira761]

@KingaMadinga The latter is correct - a lot of Ukrainian vocab is similar to Polish. As for Polish compared to Russian, you need to think about their geographical location. Russian tends to have quite a bit of an Ulric influence in it, since they're farther up north, while Polish has Germanic influence, being located more to the central-west. This greatly differentiates the two languages, despite their mother language being a Slavic one. As I said before, location-location-location!

[KingaMadinga]

Oh and beautiful song anyways. :)

[BlushingMocha741]

I would have messed up. Especially trying to sing it standing next to someone. I love this christmas song!

[Anastasiaology]

Nice

[oracle2world]

Nice retro outfits.

[raunistula]

The most original and maybe the best version I've heard! The singers looki nice, too!

[atisaseret]

AWESOME! i attended a Ukranian Catholic Girls Academy in Connecticutt, and this was one of the songs we learned in Choir. I LOVE it!!!

[kranshteun]

This song is always played in USA and everywhere but not many know that is an authentic Ukrainian song. I heard the best western versions of it and let me tell you, the Ukrainian national choir is still better. Soviet Union Music education is always better. Ask any musician. Half of them, in USA and elsewhere, are Russian or Ukrainian. Many Jews too:-)

Regards!

[HOTPocketDestroyer]

Wow this is a truly beautiful song !

[williamus26]

всiх з рiздвом !!

[uuglyducky]

Awesome! Molodci, ukrajinci!:-)

[kachyr]

Щиро вітаю Вас з Різдвом Христовим і Новим Роком. Христос Раждається!

[zakharii]

I dont think I would be able to sing this way!:) Thank you!!

[bh2oguy]

I would love for my friend Natalia in Nikolaev to hear this song in the English version. She would be shocked:))

[aznwhoenjoycomedy]

i was wondering can people with deeper voices sing this song since it is in such a high pitch it think it would be difficult.

[xoxjustinaxox]

Probably a few octaves lower, yes?

[atisaseret]

aznwhoenjoycomedy - it would not be difficult at all - I'm an Alto and I can sing it without any difficulties. Some People who have low register voices (I'm one of them) can hit very high notes - sometimes even higher than Sopranos - it's weird - but I'm a Singer/Songwriter/Musician, and I do it all the time.

[chiv78]

Goosebumps all over....

[rimma4]

Awesome

[RyGil91]

It's beautiful to hear this song in the actual language of it's origin.

[jenethehottie]

@RyGil91

i must agree. you can tell that this is it's original language because the sound of the words perfectly fit the harmony and the melody. 

[TubaGlider2]

6PABO

[AdIgnorantiam]

This is obviously very dated. It looks like the 90s or late 80s. Need we bring up what American women looked like at this time?

[RWT683]

@AdIgnorantiam Yeah. Probably thinner.

[Whistlejocket]

@AdIgnorantiam  What a stupid comment.

[AdIgnorantiam]

@Whistlejocket Stupid? Do tell me and 32 others who liked it why it's stupid.

[Kharkiv85]

@AdIgnorantiam this is the original yes it's dated ;)

[shagonaby14]

i love this version i only with i could inderstand the others i bet there nice too

[ilpluc]

обалденно красиво

[kachyr]

Щедрик, щедрик, щедрівочка,

Прилетіла ластівочка,

Стала собі щебетати,

Господаря викликати:

- Вийди, вийди, господарю,

Подивися на кошару,

Там овечки покотились,

А ягнички народились.

[kachyr]

В тебе товар весь хороший,

Будеш мати мірку грошей.

Хоч не гроші, то полова,

В тебе жінка чорноброва.

Щедрик, щедрик, щедрівочка,

Прилетіла ластівочка.

[vosenava]

Отличная песня в лучшем исполнении, которое слышал.

[KinkyCoilz]

[XxXVaN3ZXxX]

wat? good but wat?

[cavalier813]

That was beautiful. It gave me chills.

[Mariaaaa8888]

Such beautiful voices and someone noticed the glasses!!! too bad!!! It's my favorite carol as well. I've just found the score in english, but nobody's perfect! спосибо девучки!!!

[2black2day]

Sing it ladies!

[zoecastillo717]

Wow...this is sang so beautifully.

[Latvir]

where can i find russian version of this song?

[williamus26]

No such version!

[Sycken]

t'be Ukranian ;)

[DarkAuras]

*jaw drops* why have I never heard this before? This is my favorite carol in English, and in Ukranian it is simply that much more beautiful.

[Bearishcub78]

I have to say this is the first time I've heard it in the original version, and I love it.

[Manastacious]

Big Glasses!

[JonasBrothersFreak99]

this is great! I am ukrainian.

this is the most natural sounding rendition of this song I have ever come across. I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you!

[guldwin]

Great performance, thank you!

[Bitchkiddi]

BRAVA!

[Ilyasem]

we had to sing this at this place for poor people. is there a translation into Russian?

[Ilyasem]

had>going my bad

[guldwin]

This song was originally composed in Ukrainian by Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych. It was later translated to what we know as the carol of the bells.

[devochka07]

This was awesome :)

[12stel]

When you search for "Carol of the Bells" on youtube, there isn't even one version in Ukrainian, this one doesn't come up because title starts with "shedrik" - It's too bad, maybe someone should upload some.

[tweetybiwd12]

can anyone give me the lyrics for this song

[[the ukranian ones]]=]

[mydlopowidlo]

Щедрик щедрик, щедрiвочка,

прилeтiла ластiвочка,

[20473my]

[Sileithel]

Chill out, this is sung in many countries and languages. Nobody stole anything. You should be proud that a carol from your country is so widely-known ;)

I love it :))
