One fact that Leontovych (the original songwriter) was killed by russians because they don't like the idea of spreading Ukrainian culture over the world. Also thanks for reaction 🤗
Yeah, 1919 -1923 another war for independence with bolsheviks after collapse of russian empire. Took them more than 1 million troops and 4 years to take us alone.
@@UNCLEMOMO indeed, here is a short documentary (11:34 min length) about this specific subject, for anyone who is interested. There are also answers where you might've heard this song before ) ruclips.net/video/jk6GZe15FRY/видео.html
@@МихаилБондаренко-т5я це українська народна колядка, придумана українським народом (українською ж мовою) ще в дохристиянські часи, де описано приліт ластів ки весною, в час язичницького нвого року. А Леонтович написав музику.
this song is from my small homeland - Podillia! it is sung by carolers on Christmas holidays, like many others. It is still pre-Christian, so it is not Christmas, but New Year's. Moreover, in those days, the ancestors of Ukrainians celebrated the New Year in the spring, which is why the song mentions a swallow that flew in.
Thank you so much for this reaction, Uncle Momo! You always bring a smile to my face! :) And also, thank you so much for your support of Ukraine. This really means A LOT!
I'm amazed by how you do your reactions, which are not just a simple reaction to a song but you spend your time discovering the cause, the history and then sharing it with the audience! That's much appreciated 👍 Thank you for support and welcome to Ukraine after the victory ❤️
@UNCLE MOMO Thank you sincerely for spreading this information! Every nation's native talents should be recognized around the world! In all times! It makes all of us more aware of what we possess as humanity. We're in need of that now more than ever!
Author of "Carol of the Bells" was assasinated by Soviet agents just few years later, as they hated that Ukrainian culture is spreading (as they tried to erase it in USSR).
'Shchedryk' has been performed millions of times, as a Ukrainian Christmas carol became a classic worldwide over the last hundred years. Now it is widely known as 'Carol of the Bells'
Thanks for the wonderful reaction. This is one of the most ancient Ukrainian folk songs because it was written during the pagan celebration of the new year in the spring.
I think this is the best translation of the original Ukrainan lyrics. BTW the word "Shedryk" comes from "shedryj', which means "generous'. So this song is literally about wishing wellfare to a good master or rather farmer. In Ukraine the second name of Christmas is "Generous evening" and it comes from pre-chistian times. But if you analize the original lyrics you'll find that they are actually about... spring :) Kinda interesting thing telling us about the ancient traitions of Ukrainians. PS Even though i do love Eileen's voice and appearance, i like the rock version of this song more: ruclips.net/video/cEd3uP4Eqzg/видео.html
Thank you for your reaction to this song and your support! It’s so important to Ukrainians that our culture is recognised internationally, especially now when Ukrainians defend Ukraine from Russian aggression and invasion
Awwwww thank you. She is an amazing person to. I believe she the Witcher project (gamers) as she is the person who sings the Witcher songs. I know another person does too but I can’t remember her name.
it is used as a Christmas song now. But originally it is a new year song. And the reason the birds return during the new year (as they sing in this song) is because during the pre-Christian time, our ancestors celebrated the new year in spring. So potentially, these lyrics (or more original variations) might be older than Christianity in Ukraine.
@@UNCLEMOMO I am loving it ! The music combined with your enthusiasm and insight is great ! Watching all your older stuff currently am never disappointed ! I’m your shadow 😂 👍😘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just want to add about 2:00 It was arranged by M.Leontovich (Mykola=Mikle is a name, but not surname). It's easier to identify him by surname. A lot of people could been heard about Leontovich, if not - they definitely should.
Dear Uncle Momo, thank you! It is good surprise, that you find this song now! But it is so nice, that your reaction to this song was not lost in the past! Might be you know, that concert of 100-hundred years of "Shchedryk" was in Carnegie Hall last week! The event was co-hosted by Martin Scorsese and Ukrainian-American actress Vera Farmiga. This song is in movies: Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Garry Potter, Alone Home... might be more, but I found these. Actually, "shchedrivkies" are spesial songs, which we sing on New Year to call success and rishness to all homes. We have "koliadkies" - Christmas songs (to glory God) and "shchedrivkies" (shchedrik-sccedrik-shchedrivochka). I am not sure, that I could explane, but we selebrate Bounteous Evening on the night 13-th to 14-th January. We go to freinds homes to sow wheat (or other corns), whishing that new year to be rich. 😍❤🌻 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.
@@UNCLEMOMO Also, they forgot to mention that lyrics about spring comming is not surprising, because when Schedryk was created - New Year was celebrated at the 1st of March and only later moved to winter (which is now "Old New Year" and 13-14th January)..
thanks for all your lovely words and support! you are the best!!! The antiquity of this song can be understood from the lyrics.. once upon a time, the New Year came with the arrival of spring - March 1!!! The swallow is the harbinger of the New Year and congratulates the owner!!
Thank you so much for supporting Ukraine💛💙 I'm so pleased to know that there's a person, who's been sharing our heritage with a whole world! Ukrainian music is magnificent and powerful and I'm happy seeing someone love it as much as I am. Thank you for your help and support! We won't forget it❤

ВІтаю.😇 Мені приємно , що нащі з артисти мають до твоєї роботи велику вдячність. Щаслива що нащі артисти пишуть емейли, коментарі і слова вдячності для тебе. Це дуже важливо. Адже ти робиш дуже важливу справу для нас всіх! Ти наш голос , який почують інщі іноземці. Ти допомогаешь нам виправити історію. російска імперія століттями робила все, щоб світ думав шо нас не існує. Щоб світ думв, шо ми не важливі, що ми ніхто. І ти зараз допомогаеш нам це виправити. Пояснити іншим іноземцям хто ми. Які ми. Що ми цікаві. Коли іноземець каже своєму товаришу що ми цікаві, він це сприйме краще , ніж то саме про це сказав сам українець. Сподіваюсь Googl перекладч переведе все максимально зрозуміло😁😁😁 Ти дуже важливий. Дякую!💜💙💖
Thank you so much for doing this reaction and supporting us! It is so genuine and heartwarming that I was barely holding my tears back while watching, to be honest... And frankly, this is legitly the best arrangement of this song I've ever heard. Eileen did a tremendous job translating and performing "Shchedryk". The singing came out very simple, without any special vocal techniques, but it is so clear-voicing, authentic, and genuine that you can't help but re-listening it again and again!
You can hear “swallow flew in” in the lyrics because the song goes deep to the paganizm period and the celebration was early spring. the tradition is to get dressed in the strict traditional costumes (several rolles for the groop), go to neibouhood houses sing the carolls (several stages: to call homeowners, to greet, to with smth to each family member), spray some seeds, get some treat (candies, fruits, cackes, money as well))
Thanks, dude. It is kinda selfish to go and say everywhere as a Ukrainian like "em ACtually, this song is our old New Year song" But it's truth. Thanks for sharing it from your side. I appreciate it) All ukrainians do, i'm sure)
Unkle Momo, thank you for your reactions and your job! Her voice is increadible and COB is gorgeous and we, Ukrainian, are strong in our culter! We have great culter - I shout this to the whole world!
The song goes back to those times (or maybe even earlier) when Rus' was not yet baptized. From ancient pre-Christian era. For the population of Ruthenia (Rus', Ukraine) at that time, the new year began in the spring, that is, when all nature woke up and when the peasants began their year of growing various grains. ( and such kind of songs called vesnyanky, special, ceremonial spring songs which were performed at the beginning of field work). So that's why in the original text we could hear such words like "Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivochka" - shchedryk is such a bird, which flies in the end of the March, same with words "прилетіла ластівочка" what means "a swallow flew in" - because it also came in the beginning of the spring. Leontovych found this song in Ukrainian folklore and created an awesome arrangement for it. Personally for me it is very powerful thing cause song that is more than 1000 years old still sounds in our country and around the world. Thank you Momo for your support! Thank you for your reactions to songs by Ukrainian artists!
А Малоросію ви тут до чого приплели? Тим більше тисяча років тому(👎🏻 Малоросія то вигадка російської імперії, ні до України тисяча років тому, ні тим більше до Русі вона немає жодного відношення! Не вводьте в оману людей. Чи то не випадково?

So much grateful for your spreading the information about our beautiful Ukrainian music!!! This song is so special for every Ukrainian! It brings light and hope! Thank you for support!
Little do people know that one of the most covered songs, "summertime", originates from a ukrainian song too. Ой, ходить сон коло вікон ruclips.net/video/pUyZi0snypc/видео.html Some of the lyrics go as follows: A dream passes by "where shall we sleep tonight?". "In a warm cottage, where there's a small baby, there we shall go..." The question "Where shall we sleep", "a warm cottage", "a dream"... Sad words in today's context of war.
Thank you for this video!🇺🇦 Feeling of great support while listening it. This Christmas we pray for our country as for one big and united family and against russian terrorism all around the world. We are grateful for each person who supports UA. You are amazing, guys! Thank you from UA🙌🇺🇦
Thank you for promoting Ukrainian culture and music. And thank you for support of Ukraine! We have a nice band "Lama". Very interesting songs. For example: " Тримай", "Знаєш, як болить", "Пробач" and many others.
This singer has great and beautiful voice. So it’s really incredible song in that performance. I also wish you Merry Christmas and happy new year, happiness, health and good luck all time. Thank you for your support.
btw Leontovych has been working in my little town as a teacher since 1904 to 1908 .Who knew then ,that this man would write such a popular masterpiece !
БРАВО МОМО!!! Супер !!! Ви так захопилися українською творчiстю, українською пiснею зокрема!!! Дуже, дуже за це дякуєм! Вивчайте українську мову, вона така гарна i спiвуча!!! СЛАВА УКРАЇНI !!!
When I was a kid watching "Home Alone" and heard the music so familiar told my parents : "Hey! It`s ours Schedrik!" I was so proud that our song is using in different foreign movies) Thx for your reaction) ✊💙💛
Man, cool! Thank you very much for your support, for your warm words and a small guide to Ukrainian history for the English-speaking population of the Earth. Glory to Ukraine!
As a Ukrainian thank you for your support and seeing your face and reaction for something that we all proud of, such as this beautiful carol, brings me joy! 😊
Щиро дякуємо! Це дуже добра та позитивна пісня-побажання. Наші діти справді її люблять співати усім, бажаючи добра та щастя. Але зараз ми усі молимо Бога зберегти життя та здоров'я нашим воїнам-захисникам, усім українцям та наблизити нашу премогу, щоб кожна дитина змогла знову повернутися у свій дім, побачити рідних...🙏🕊💙💛 Дякуємо усім небайдужим за підтримку та допомогу у нашій боротьбі з рашистською агресією!
When Word war 1 was almost finished, Ukrainian started its fight for independence. Shchedryk was represented to the Europe and Canada, and USA during big World tour, to show Ukrainian culture as a unique culture of people, that wanted to realise their right to have their own sovereign country (and the war for freedom was still going on the territory). It was not realised then. But Ukrainians as an independent political nation started their way). And Leontivych was killed by Russian special agents, by the way.. (Thank you for your reaction ❤)
In original Ukrainian folk song "SCHEDRYK" Eileen sings about a Swallow - ancient Slavic pagan symbol of Spring. Because before Christianity Slavs celebrated New Year in Spring with a stert of ressurection of Nature.
All Ukrainians followers wish you and your family Merry Christmas and happy New year 💛💙 Thanks you for supporting us 💫

Little do people know that one of the most covered songs, "summertime", originates from a ukrainian song too.
Ой, ходить сон коло вікон
ruclips.net/video/pUyZi0snypc/видео.html
Some of the lyrics go as follows:
A dream passes by
"where shall we sleep tonight?".
"In a warm cottage, where there's a small baby, there we shall go..."
The question "Where shall we sleep", "a warm cottage", "a dream"... Sad words in today's context of war.
very true. the word relate into today's time
I was hoping that someone will write about this 🙂

Щиро дякуємо! Це дуже добра та позитивна пісня-побажання. Наші діти справді її люблять співати усім, бажаючи добра та щастя. Але зараз ми усі молимо Бога зберегти життя та здоров'я нашим воїнам-захисникам, усім українцям та наблизити нашу премогу, щоб кожна дитина змогла знову повернутися у свій дім, побачити рідних...🙏🕊💙💛
Дякуємо усім небайдужим за підтримку та допомогу у нашій боротьбі з рашистською агресією!
чим більше людей читає ваш коментар, тим більше я відчуваю, що співчуття один до одного все ще присутнє.
@@UNCLEMOMO Дякую 🙏💙💛
When Word war 1 was almost finished, Ukrainian started its fight for independence. Shchedryk was represented to the Europe and Canada, and USA during big World tour, to show Ukrainian culture as a unique culture of people, that wanted to realise their right to have their own sovereign country (and the war for freedom was still going on the territory). It was not realised then. But Ukrainians as an independent political nation started their way). And Leontivych was killed by Russian special agents, by the way.. (Thank you for your reaction ❤)
You’re welcome ❤️
In original Ukrainian folk song "SCHEDRYK" Eileen sings about a Swallow - ancient Slavic pagan symbol of Spring. Because before Christianity Slavs celebrated New Year in Spring with a stert of ressurection of Nature.
thank you
