about
Da Selo is a medley of two Ukrainian spring songs. Traditionally, women sang these songs to call on Spring to awaken life after a long winter slumber. It’s a joyful beginning to a new year! In this song we ask Spring what she has brought us, to which she replies “I have brought you rye, wheat, and fertile land,” and we wake up the cranky villagers who have been sleeping on their ovens all winter - “Wake up villagers! It’s time to wash your white linens and welcome spring!”
lyrics
Oy Vesna, oy krasna
Shchto ty prynesla
A ya vam prynesla
Zhyto pshenytsiu
Vsiaku pashnytsiu
Da selo, nashe selo,
Oy, choho ne veselo?
Bo divonʹky zamizh vyyshly -
Nema komu na selo vyyty.
Nema komu na selo vyyty
Da selo zveselyty.
Da vykhodʹte, selyanky,
Zaspivayemo vesnyanky.
Zymuvaly, na pechi spaly -
Sorochok ne napraly.
Da selo, nashe selo,
Oy, choho y ne veselo?
