Rewe Ta Stohne - Lemko-Rusyn-Ukrainian song - played by accordiona

Rewe Ta Stohne - Lemko-Rusyn-Ukrainian song.
Lorna Pollock, accordion.

Roland set: Folk F #17
Bass: 16'8'4'2'
Treble: Violin, Mandolin and Pan Flutes

A friend, eldubioso, kindly shared that the song can be classified as Ukrainian, as the Lemko people are a sub-ethnic group that identify themselves as Ukrainian as well. The song title translates as "the Dnipro River moans and groans" .

And from my friend pivhucul: This song is written to the poem of Ukrainian poet, Taras Shevchenko.

A Google translation:

Dnieper roars and moans wide
An angry wind declared,
Down willow and high
Wave lift up the mountains.
Down willow and high
Wave lift up the mountains.

This tune is from the song book, Piosenki Lemkowski I Ukrainskie from

My friend Markku, makentv, sent me this link of Finnish singer Markus Allan singing the first tune, Laulu Dnjeprille. He sings with great feeling. I enjoyed it very much and hope you will, too!

Very fine playing, dear Lorna, like an exquisite nocturnal dance of spiritual character, great delight and winsome charm! You are mining some thrilling sounds from your versatile Roland, an instrument which seems to have become quite an impressive part of your overall musical personality. **********
