lyrics:

Ой гиля-гиля Гусоньки на Став

Добрий вечір Дівчино бо я ще й не спав x 2

Ой не спав не спав не буду спати

Дай же мені Дівчино повечеряти x 2

В мене вечеря Рибка Печена

Задля Тебе Серденько приготована x 2

Як готовила усміxалася

Все на Тебе Серденько сподівалася x 2

Чудовий спiв, дякую вам. Найкращi побажання.

I wasn't aware of the alternate title, but it's possible ... we play this one in gm ... thanks for the compliments!

Cheers,

Very Nice, Brandon!  I am myself just learning the first scottish tune, a Strathspey I believe, on my fiddle and perhaps bouzouki and guitar as well.

I have found it under the name: "They Stole My Wife Last Night".

Looks like you play it in the key of A-minor? (a friend had written it out in Em, but I think it is more commonly done in Am?)

All the Best, ~Mark

What a sensitive touch, Brandon! And Nadia, the emotive quality of your singing is so touching, not to mention your perfect pitch! You two play so beautifully together. Thank you!
