Incantation

Korbyni Ivany, Bohodukhivskyi District00:19

Весна красна!
Ткала баба на печі кросна,
Піч провалилася,
Баба з печі покотилася,
Упав дід з груби
Та й забив груди,
Впала баба з печі
Та й забила плечі!

Geese, geese, goslings (call to geese)
Incantation
Heniyivka, Zmiivskyi District00:09

Гуси, гуси, гусенята,
Возьміть мене на крилята,
Понесіть до батенька,
А в батенька їсти-пити,
По коліна в вівсі бродити!

Let it rain (call for it to rain)
Incantation
Heniyivka, Zmiivskyi District00:16

Дощику, дощику,
Припусти, припусти,
Та на наші капусти,
А ми підем на страсти,
Богу молиться,
Христу поклониться,
А ми, Бог, сирота,
Відчиняй ворота,
Ключиком, замочком,
Золотим платочком!

Гуси, нате вам на гніздо,
Шоб ви виздихали на Різдво!
