I went to Melanka
New Year Carol (Shchedrivka)
Kozacha Lopan, Derhachivskyi District00:27

Я меланки ходила,
Я Васильку просила,
Васильку, мій татку,
Пусти мене в хатку,
Я жита не жала,
Чесний Хрестик держала!
Радуйтеся, люди,
До вас Христос буде,
А ви (свічу дбайте)
Та й нам передайте!
Дайте пиріг з руками,
З ногами, щоб бігав за нами!

There on the river, on the Jordan
New Year Carol (Shchedrivka)
Kozacha Lopan, Derhachivskyi District00:32

Там на річці, на Ярдані,
Там Пречиста ризи прала,
Прала-прала, не випрала,
Повісила на ялину,
Сама сіла на калину,
Добрий вечір добрим людям!

Де взялися анголята,
Взяли ризи на крилята,
Понесли на небеса,
Небеса розтворились,
Всім святим поклонились,
Добрий вечір добрим людям!
