      a very interesting story about the path of this song to recognition in Europe and the USA. The composition was presented to the Western public by the Ukrainian Republican Chapel under the direction of Oleksandr Koshyts, who toured on behalf of the Government of the Ukrainian People's Republic in the countries of Western Europe and North and South America in order to promote the idea of Ukrainian independence (1919-1924). The performance of the Ukrainian choir in Paris, where the Paris Peace Conference was held, was important, at which the Ukrainian delegation wanted to show that Ukraine has the right to independence, that Ukrainians are different from russians. unfortunately, the idea of Ukrainian independence was rejected by the world community, and Ukraine was occupied by communist russia

    "Shchedryk" (Ukrainian: Щедрик, from Щедрий вечiр, "Bountiful Evening") is a Ukrainian shchedrivka, or New Year's song, known in English as "The Little Swallow". It was arranged by composer and teacher Mykola Leontovych in 1916, and tells a story of a swallow flying into a household to sing of wealth that will come with the following spring. "Shchedryk" was originally sung on the night of January 13, New Year's Eve in the Julian Calendar (December 31 Old Style), which is Shchedry Vechir. Early performances of the piece were made by students at Kyiv University. "Shchedryk" was later adapted as an English Christmas carol, "Carol of the Bells", by Peter J. Wilhousky following a performance of the original song by Alexander Koshetz's Ukrainian National Chorus at Carnegie Hall on October 5, 1921. Wilhousky copyrighted and published his new lyrics (which were not based on the Ukrainian lyrics) in 1936, and the song became popular in the United States and Canada, where it became strongly associated with Christmas. Conceptually, the Ukrainian lyrics of this song meet the definition of a shchedrivka, while the English content of "The Little Swallow" identifies it as a kolyadka or, in other words, a Christmas carol.

Щедрик - один зі світових скарбів, який знищити неможливо. нехай весь світ почує це прекрасне виконання в оригіналі, нехай побачить тих ластівочок, що співають в кінці.
    залишаю цей коментар тут як згадку про найтяжчі часи, що ми пережили на шляху до перемоги. нашої безсумнівної Перемоги!

    This is really nice. The tone of the song makes more sense to me after learning it was originally a Ukrainian New Year song, though. The English version still sounds good but seems out of place when compared with how most other Christmas music sounds.

      nothing for, as we say (sorta not at all). also if you look in to the original lirix, that would be obvious: the song is actually about how a swallow (a spring symbol) flyes in (comes back from warmer places) and calls the onwer of the flock of sheep to tell him and congratulate with the fact that lambs were just new born.

      This is a children's Christmas song - a carol, traditionally on Christmas Day children used to go from house to house and sing carols, for which they were supposed to be given candy or money, like in the USA on Halloween. That's why a children's choir to me sounds more aesthetic and better - [ Дитячий хор співає "Щедрик" ].

    You can see the true soul of a country through their music.
    Most western nations sing about their own greatness.
    Russia sings about "unifying" people under their rule.
    Ukraine sings of love and hope. _Shchedryk_ of love of your wife and hope for spring; _Jikhav Kozak za Dunaj_ of love for your partner and hope for survival; _Stefania_ of love for your mother and hope of protection; _Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy_ of love of Ukraine and hope for freedom.

As if there would still be some danger out there in the woods and they are playing peacefully without knowing. I would say you can feel the slavic background to it. I am polish/german and to me it always felt very cold and rough here so i guess this is what i'm feeling in this song

    Thank you from Ukraine! I wish you knew how many masterpieces, inventions, and gifted people in different areas Ukraine gave to the world, but the world does not know their origin in Ukraine or from Ukrainians in different parts of the world who just were escaping USSR ... I bet you would be very surprised. Heroyam Slava! One of such people is Ihor Sikorskyi, Ukrainian engineer, aircraft designer, entrepreneur, one of the pioneers of aircraft construction, designer of the first amphibious aircraft in the USA, the "father" of world helicopter construction. He created the "Grand" ("Russian Knight") and "Ilya Muromets" airplanes, which marked the beginning of multi-engine aviation and set a world record for carrying capacity. After the Second World War, his company Sicorski Air Engineering became the leading manufacturer of helicopter equipment abroad. in March 1919 he moved to the USA. In 1925-1940 he developed a series of extremely successful aircraft that brought prestige and records to the USA. Built in 1934 for Pan American World Airways, the Sikorsky S-42 seaplane set ten world records, and the 10 serial S-42s became the world's first intercontinental passenger liners to provide scheduled flights across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. From 1939, he switched to the design of single-screw helicopters. He was the first to build turbine helicopters and amphibious helicopters. In 1939, the VS-300 helicopter designed by him made its first flight. Since 1943, his company has become a leading manufacturer of helicopter equipment abroad. Sikorsky helicopters of the "S" brand in 1941 were adopted by the US Armed Forces. In total, Sikorsky's company - "Sikorsky Aircraft" created 17 basic aircraft and 18 helicopters. With the acquisition of licenses for the production of machines of this brand, the development of helicopter construction in Great Britain and France began. The high guarantee of flights on I. Sikorsky's helicopters is evidenced by the fact that they are constantly used by US presidents as VIP vehicles. Sikorsky S-61 helicopters made the first flight across the Atlantic (S-61; 1967) and the Pacific Ocean (S-61; 1970; with mid-air refueling). In Ukraine, it was first invented in Ukraine by Ukrainians: Lviv residents first created a kerosene lamp in 1983 / X-ray machine / cholera vaccine / in 1983, 2 Ukrainian scientists Yosif Timchenko and Mykola Lyubimovych created a kinescope long before the French Lumiere brothers as everyone in the world thinks... Ukrainians simply did not patent the invention/ in 1940, the Ukrainian engineer Sikorskyi built the first helicopter, and since then all American presidents have exclusively used helicopters of this brand/ in 1932, the first indexing system for letters (mail) was created in Ukraine/ a scientist from Transcarpathia (Ukraine) first invented a glucometer - a device for measuring blood sugar/ Ivan Polyuy, my countryman, 14 years before the German William Röntgen, first invented the trebka, which became the prototype of X-ray machines, and it was Ivan Polyuy who was the first in the world to take an X-ray picture of the human skeleton, and by the way, Einstein too believed that a German and a Ukrainian did not deserve the championship/ Volodymyr Khavkin was the first in the world to invent a vaccine against cholera and plague and while on an expedition to India/ on April 1, 1933, in Kyiv, surgeon Yuriy Voronyi performed the world's first transplant of an entire organ - a kidney, ahead of the development of transplantology by 20 years/ in the early 1870s, the Ukrainian Fedir Pirotskyi invented technology for transmitting electricity through an iron wire...a in 1880 presented a project of using electricity for the movement of trains...and a year later the world's first tramway based on this technology set off in Germany...by the way, this technology is still used by the Siemens company/ Whatsapp messenger was developed by a Ukrainian in 2014 sold to Facebook / one of the people who literally invented the Internet - Leonard Kleinrock is a Ukrainian... and in 1969 he invented the technology of transmitting messages on the Internet .. i.e. the prototype of modern messengers / Ukrainian Serhiy Korolev (not Russian as he thinks) developed and launched the first artificial Earth satellite, the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile, and launched the first humans into space Well, into space. All nuclear developments of the Soviet Union were mainly developed by Ukrainian scientists in the city of Kharkiv....it is there that the first nuclear collider in the Soviet Union is located. And now Russia is bombing us with our missiles, which it took from us in 1997 and uses our developments. The first submarine was invented in the 16th century by Ukrainian Cossacks. The largest and most powerful AN-225MRIA cargo plane was built in Ukraine in 1988, which set 240 world records. In February, the Russians bombed MRYU. The prototype of the first compact disc was created by a graduate student in Kyiv in the early 1960s...western companies created their compact disc only in the early 80s.
    Prominent Americans of Ukrainian origin - Dustin Hoffman/ Steven Spielberg/ Leonardo DiCaprio/ Sylvester Stallone/ Mila Jovovich/ Leni Kravitz yes yes...his grandfather is Ukrainian/ Steve Tyler/ Jack Palance/ Edward Gottlieb from Kyiv who created the American Basketball Association. Sorry.. .maybe you are not interested in it, but I really want the whole world to finally learn about Ukraine. That we are not part of Russia and have never been. Kyiv was founded in the 10th century...and Moscow only in the 16th century. The first universities in Europe were created in Ukraine. Just write on the Internet about outstanding Americans of Ukrainian origin and you will be surprised.I want to shout to the whole world what Ukraine and Ukrainians are!!!!!!!!!!! After all, for a long time, we were considered simply Russians.........
