This is awesome! This is one of my favorite Christmas songs! I was searching for Ukrainian translated version so I can sing it for my Ukrainian girlfriend. So imagine my shock to learn that it's originally Ukrainian. Well done, very beautiful. To learn that this song has even more to it than I thought is amazing!
The problem is that it's not Christmas song originally. We sing this song on the 13th of January when there was pegan New Year before Christianity. Our Ukrainian composer was performing as a conductor in Carnegie Hall in 1921. After that performance our Ukrainian song was interpreted into English. It was done for populariszing Ukrainian songs but people even thought that it's their own song in the USA.
Beautiful! I lived in Ukraine for a few years and I love the history the people, everything! I'm so grateful that I got to live there! What a magnificent people and history! Ukraine has overcome so much over the centuries and they will do it again! My heart goes out to all of you there! I'm still in contact with my friends there and I help however can!
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs, but I always thought it was an instrumental piece, never knew the backstory. Thanks for educating me in such a beautiful way!
Нарешті, нарешті! Знайшов аутентичний переклад щедрика. Виконання бездоганне, вбрання ... як мама каже - дівчина у вінку і стрічках. Слухав би і слухав, аж сироти поза шкірою. Дякую, дякую, дякую. Вітання з Києва. Слава Україні!
Just discovered the origin of “Carol of the Bells” in a random article, and immediately sought out the source; thrilled to be able to hear the original Ukrainian lyrics mixed so seamlessly with their English translation. Thank you! I’ve only ever known it as a Christmas carol, and while it’s one of my favorites, it always gave me a completely different feeling about the holiday than the other carols. It somehow seemed to emphasize the surreal and mystical elements surrounding the lore of the season, even though the lyrics in both versions make no allusions to them. It’s a fantastic song with a great name. -Edit: Just realized this is you singing (lots of channels post content they find elsewhere) and by golly you’re fantastic! Beautiful voice and stellar arrangement. Cheers!
It is our duty to remember that the author of this wonderful composition, Mykola Leontovych, was killed by the russian chekist. 🇷🇺 Like hundreds of other Ukrainian artists in the soviet union
@@andreynew3076 Ukrainian Chekists? do you even think what you are talking about? The Cheka can be compared to the FSB, they worked for the RSFSR. And what is a Ukrainian Chekist? Perhaps you meant that the Chekist who killed Leontovich was Ukrainian by nationality, but then he might not have known that he killed Leontovich (for example, I will say that Bandera and some other Ukrainian nationalists were killed by Ukrainians who worked for Russia because they But the Ukrainian Chekist does not even have such a concept
@@yur4ik1618 yes, i mean that he was Ukrainian by nationality. It means that there were Ukrainians and other nationalities among bolsheviks. However everyone blames only Russians, despite the fact that Russians suffered from bolsheviks a lot.
Ich habe es jetzt auch mindestens 10 mal hintereinander gehört, es ist so wunderschön und so schnell vorbei. Ich kann mich nicht von dem schönen Klang trennen.
A little story about this song: 1918-1919 was a short period in our history when was firstly announced independent Ukraine (UNR: Ukrainian Folk Republic), and Germany was the first country who admit it. In that period our country was divided between some political forces, and one of them - anticommunistic - was headed by Symon Petliura, who sent our choir, consisted mostly of members of Kyiv university choir "Dnipro", to Europe in 1919 to tell other peoples that we are separate nation with our own traditions and culture. But earlier in 1916 that choir firstly performed that song with Leontovych´ music version written in the beginning of XX century (lyric was folk and very ancient). The composer was later killed by russian chekist, but it is another story. In the USA Shchedryk was firstly performed in 1922 with the same choir who emigrated there and never returned to Ukraine because it finished her existence for long decades because of Soviet Union. This song became popular in 17 countries and only in 1936 was covered as "Carol of the bells" by P. Wilhousky, who was an american with Ukrainian roots. Some years ago it was found the vinyl disk with earliest English version of this song, it called "Bluebirds" and close by meaning to the original. It was presented in Kamyanets-Podilsky, where Petliura had his government and where he sent the choir with mission to Europe from. And it was sung again with modern "Dnipro" choir, you can look for the records in TH-cam.
Thanks for sharing this very interesting story of how this folk song became "the carol" which is so well known today! I find nobody sings it better than Ukrainian choirs, you cannot really copy it. I think it's very important in these times once again to promote Ukrainian culture around the world. Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the heroes
Thank you for the story! and just a couple of days ago after 100 years this song was again performed at the Carnegie Hall in NY. Have tears listening to this song... Glory to Ukraine! 💛💙
Poland played a significant role in subjugating Ukrainian nationalism. In fact, Ukrainian nationalism rose as a response to Polarization. So why are you only blaming the USSR? Go back to school Basil.
@@blackduck9686 You are talking nonsense. Because, only the Russian Empire and the Bolsheviks were to blame. Ukrainian nationalists at that time were Volodymyr Vynnychenko, Mykhailo Hrushevskyi and Simon Petliura, who fought for independence against the Bolsheviks. Poland did not influence Ukrainian culture at that time. Polonization took place after the release of this song. Polonization also took place in the territories of the ZUNR. Therefore, regarding Shchedryk. The RUSSIANS are to blame. They have been destroying Ukrainian culture and Ukrainians since time immemorial, Mykola Leontovych is a vivid example. You are talking about a completely different time in the history of Ukraine. So go back to school and learn about Ukrainian revolutions)
I don't have words enough to convey how beautiful this is. Special thanks for the English subs and the English version itself, I'll also be able to share it on my EFL blog as well. Merry Yule/Christmas! Дуже дякую and greetings from Brazil!
Wow, this was so beautiful and enchanting. I've always loved this song as a Christmas carol, but it's good to know and appreciate it's true origin. The Ukrainian sounds very beautiful and melodious.
Like so many others, I had no idea! I am Polish, yet this song came to me not directly from a neighboring country, but via the United States and not in the original. Thank you for this beautiful recording.
wow, I knew it was originally Ukrainian but I'd always assumed carol of the bells just translated the lyrics. Apparently not! and these ones are so much better because while I've always loved the tune, I've always felt the Carol of the Bells English lyrics were a bit naff but this song is so nice! Thanks for the translation and you're voice is really nice
Я все гадала, чому я знаю цю мелодію, як десь починало цю пісню грати? А оно ось чому, бо вона наша, українська! А виконання просто неймовірно чудове!!! Щиро дякую!❤

It is a pity that Russia wants to destroy Ukraine, Ukraine is like a bone in its throat, without Ukraine - there is no history in Russia, because Ukraine is the successor of Kievan Rus
Beautiful voice, beautiful arrangement! So moving and mystical. The original lyrics have such meaning. From now on, whenever I hear that carol, I'll think of the original version. Thank you!
It is a pity that Russia wants to destroy Ukraine, Ukraine is like a bone in its throat, without Ukraine - there is no history in Russia, because Ukraine is the successor of Kievan Rus
Written in 1916 by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovich and titled “Shchedryk,” the song tells the tale of a swallow flying into a household to proclaim the plentiful year that the family will have. The song's title is derived from the Ukrainian word “shchedryj,” which means “bountiful.”
As a new french speaking member of your chain, from Montreal, Canada, i want to bow to you for your skills, talent, will and beauty. You learned me something about that carol. Canada greeted thousands of refugees from Ukraine during the Holodomor. I know a handful of brilliant folks from Ukraine. From here, i print 3D plastic parts to help Ukraine getting rid of this zombie invasion.
Аж мороз по шкірі... Пісня переносить мене у дитинство, у новорічні свята, у родину... Одразу відчуваю запах морозного повітря і чую, як рипить сніг під ногами.. вже темна пора і дітвора біжить додому, всі, як сніговики - обліплені снігом, змерзли, але щасливі... Дякую за гарну пісню і спогади.. Слава Україні!
So beautiful, brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing with both Ukrainian and English lyrics. All my love to the people of Ukraine as the devastating invasion by Russia continues. Stay strong, xx
Це відео мені запропонував ютуб просто тому, що я сьогодні передивлялася Carol of the Bells. І вперше я неймовірна вдячна і щаслива через це. У вас неймовірний канал. Це так гарно і так професійно, що просто неможливо не закохатися! Не зупиняйтеся, ви прекрасні!
I've sung the English 'Carol of the Bells' as part of a female trio in the past. I didn't know I have Ukraine to thank for this beautiful song. Stay strong! 🇺🇦
This song comes from Ukraine and in the original it is sung about wishing for a good harvest in the next year. The Americans changed the lyrics, but either way the music and both lyrics are beautiful.
@@monikakolova1327 The adaptation seems to have been done by a Ukrainian, who kept everything except the lyrics. It's like sharing a recipe: if you know your guests don't like spicy food, you adjust the recipe for them. It won’t be the original recipe, but they'll still discover a piece of the tradition. It's unfortunate that the origin of the song isn't widely known, but on the other hand, this version helped introduce the music to the world. Those who want to learn more will eventually find the answer.
Wonderful Performance! Thank you❤ Great English lyrics! I love the original text in Ukrainian because it has many familiar words with my language. Our hearts and thoughts in Bulgaria are with all Ukrainians! Stay safe, survive!
Щедрик то щось неземне... кожного разу чіпає душу, наче вперше. Немов частинка пісні янголів, котра впала на землю - й лунає звідтоді по всьому світу. Дякую за чудове виконання, ще й двома мовами
Such a timeless song. I had no idea before tonight that this is a Ukrainian song, despite it being the epitome of Christmas since i can remember. Hearing it with the original lyrics, switching between Ukrainian and English is something quite magical. Merry Christmas. I hope you and yours are well and safe, and that the new year will bring peace, justice, and security for Ukraine.
I was born in Vinnytsa, Ukraine. The Author of "Carol of the Bells" is Mykola Leontovych, he was born in Vinnytsa too. I am proud I am Ukrainnian American. Glory to Ukraine! God bless America! Merry Christmas to all.
Ever since I first heard this version of the song last spring I must hear it a least once a week, it's so beautifully performed. Me, I am proud just to stand with Ukraine, like all decent civilised people in the world do, at least if they know what's going on there. Here in Scandinavia I haven't heard of anyone not wanting to support Ukraine all the way, and no matter the cost. Ukraine must and will win. Slava Ukraini! - Heroyam Slava! - Stay safe!
@@larsrons7937 Thanks A LOT!!! Your heart, and heart of your Country are SO BIG. I look at my beautiful 6 years old daughter, and I cry. Because right away in Ukraine a children are dying under the ruins of houses was destroyed by Russian missiles S-300 and X-22 and Calibre.
@@rubberduckyconvoy2723 I too cry. Every day. I never had children. But I do have feelings. These tragedies happen every day in Ukraine, and it's unpredictable where. Russia can't win over Ukraine on the battlefield, so instead they fight the civilians, with weapons meant to destroy large military targets. It is pure terror. Russia want to reconquer everything they once "had" (back then it was also stolen by force), they are potetially at war with almost everything around them. Russia chose their war to be fought in Ukraine now. Ukraine is only defending itself, and is fighting for survival. Survival of all of us. If Russia wins Putin will continue. Ukraine must (and will) win. For the safety of all. But most of all for the Ukrainians, who never deserved such terror being thrown at them. Putin's regime today is pure evil. Until it falls it will be a threat to everything near Russia. Putin's regime must fall, and it can only happen on the battlefield in Ukraine. Ukraine must win the war so thoroughly that Russia collapses, or completely changes to an all different kind of government. Here in Scandinavia we've always tried to be very tolerant, towards the Soviets and Russia too. There's no tolerance left towards Russia now, you can't be tolerant to a murderous mafia boss who let people kill or suffer to achieve and keep power. No matter how much we believe in peace and tolerance, at this point we need our military mind to achieve it. That means supporting Ukraine, as much, as soon and in every way they need it. And there are as many good reasons to support Ukraine as there are decent, civilised people on the planet. Now I hope we all send the victory load of weapons Ukraine needs to finish the war as soon and thoroughly as possible, to end the terror and suffering. To let children again grow up in a nice warm world of good relations between people. To grow up to become decent, civilised, friendly human beings themselves. The children must be our biggest concern, they are our future. I, we all, firmly trust that Ukraine will push the Russians all the way back, win the war, liberate all their territories, put an end to all the terror. And begin a new future, with many wounds to heal, but with freedom, security, peace, prosperity - and many new friends. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!

This is awesome!
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs!
I was searching for Ukrainian translated version so I can sing it for my Ukrainian girlfriend. So imagine my shock to learn that it's originally Ukrainian. Well done, very beautiful. To learn that this song has even more to it than I thought is amazing!
The problem is that it's not Christmas song originally. We sing this song on the 13th of January when there was pegan New Year before Christianity. Our Ukrainian composer was performing as a conductor in Carnegie Hall in 1921. After that performance our Ukrainian song was interpreted into English. It was done for populariszing Ukrainian songs but people even thought that it's their own song in the USA.

Thanks so much susan, hope u're doing great!
Just discovered the origin of “Carol of the Bells” in a random article, and immediately sought out the source; thrilled to be able to hear the original Ukrainian lyrics mixed so seamlessly with their English translation. Thank you! I’ve only ever known it as a Christmas carol, and while it’s one of my favorites, it always gave me a completely different feeling about the holiday than the other carols. It somehow seemed to emphasize the surreal and mystical elements surrounding the lore of the season, even though the lyrics in both versions make no allusions to them. It’s a fantastic song with a great name. -Edit: Just realized this is you singing (lots of channels post content they find elsewhere) and by golly you’re fantastic! Beautiful voice and stellar arrangement. Cheers!
So "off the charts !!!
"Wonderful "!!!!!
Gorgeous. Had no idea this christmas song originated in Ukraine. Love Ukraine!
Thank you for doing this, I was wanting to hear how the original was performed. Dyakuyu!
It is our duty to remember that the author of this wonderful composition, Mykola Leontovych, was killed by the russian chekist. 🇷🇺
Like hundreds of other Ukrainian artists in the soviet union
Sorry, but he was killed by the ukrainian chekist.
@@andreynew3076 But these chekists were following the order of the kremlin.
@@andreynew3076 Ukrainian Chekists? do you even think what you are talking about? The Cheka can be compared to the FSB, they worked for the RSFSR. And what is a Ukrainian Chekist? Perhaps you meant that the Chekist who killed Leontovich was Ukrainian by nationality, but then he might not have known that he killed Leontovich (for example, I will say that Bandera and some other Ukrainian nationalists were killed by Ukrainians who worked for Russia because they But the Ukrainian Chekist does not even have such a concept
@@yur4ik1618 yes, i mean that he was Ukrainian by nationality. It means that there were Ukrainians and other nationalities among bolsheviks. However everyone blames only Russians, despite the fact that Russians suffered from bolsheviks a lot.

A little story about this song: 1918-1919 was a short period in our history when was firstly announced independent Ukraine (UNR: Ukrainian Folk Republic), and Germany was the first country who admit it. In that period our country was divided between some political forces, and one of them - anticommunistic - was headed by Symon Petliura, who sent our choir, consisted mostly of members of Kyiv university choir "Dnipro", to Europe in 1919 to tell other peoples that we are separate nation with our own traditions and culture. But earlier in 1916 that choir firstly performed that song with Leontovych´ music version written in the beginning of XX century (lyric was folk and very ancient). The composer was later killed by russian chekist, but it is another story. In the USA Shchedryk was firstly performed in 1922 with the same choir who emigrated there and never returned to Ukraine because it finished her existence for long decades because of Soviet Union. This song became popular in 17 countries and only in 1936 was covered as "Carol of the bells" by P. Wilhousky, who was an american with Ukrainian roots. Some years ago it was found the vinyl disk with earliest English version of this song, it called "Bluebirds" and close by meaning to the original. It was presented in Kamyanets-Podilsky, where Petliura had his government and where he sent the choir with mission to Europe from. And it was sung again with modern "Dnipro" choir, you can look for the records in TH-cam.
Thanks for sharing this very interesting story of how this folk song became "the carol" which is so well known today! I find nobody sings it better than Ukrainian choirs, you cannot really copy it. I think it's very important in these times once again to promote Ukrainian culture around the world. Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the heroes
Thank you for the story! and just a couple of days ago after 100 years this song was again performed at the Carnegie Hall in NY. Have tears listening to this song...
Glory to Ukraine! 💛💙
Poland played a significant role in subjugating Ukrainian nationalism. In fact, Ukrainian nationalism rose as a response to Polarization. So why are you only blaming the USSR? Go back to school Basil.
російським чекістам з українським прізвищем
@@blackduck9686 You are talking nonsense. Because, only the Russian Empire and the Bolsheviks were to blame. Ukrainian nationalists at that time were Volodymyr Vynnychenko, Mykhailo Hrushevskyi and Simon Petliura, who fought for independence against the Bolsheviks. Poland did not influence Ukrainian culture at that time. Polonization took place after the release of this song. Polonization also took place in the territories of the ZUNR. Therefore, regarding Shchedryk. The RUSSIANS are to blame. They have been destroying Ukrainian culture and Ukrainians since time immemorial, Mykola Leontovych is a vivid example. You are talking about a completely different time in the history of Ukraine. So go back to school and learn about Ukrainian revolutions)
This music introduced me to the Ukrainian language. And i must say its lovely. Warm hugs from south💛
I don't have words enough to convey how beautiful this is. Special thanks for the English subs and the English version itself, I'll also be able to share it on my EFL blog as well. Merry Yule/Christmas! Дуже дякую and greetings from Brazil!

Written in 1916 by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovich and titled “Shchedryk,” the song tells the tale of a swallow flying into a household to proclaim the plentiful year that the family will have. The song's title is derived from the Ukrainian word “shchedryj,” which means “bountiful.”
Or "generous" would be a good translation
@@nickgotvyak5890 generous is a better translation
Thank you for this knowledge.
thank you. I always wondered from where it originated.
Arranged by Mykola Leontovich. The original is a folk chant which predates the conversion of Ukraine to Christianity. And the video pointed this out.
As a new french speaking member of your chain, from Montreal, Canada, i want to bow to you for your skills, talent, will and beauty.
You learned me something about that carol.
Canada greeted thousands of refugees from Ukraine during the Holodomor. I know a handful of brilliant folks from Ukraine.
From here, i print 3D plastic parts to help Ukraine getting rid of this zombie invasion.

I've sung the English 'Carol of the Bells' as part of a female trio in the past. I didn't know I have Ukraine to thank for this beautiful song. Stay strong! 🇺🇦
This song comes from Ukraine and in the original it is sung about wishing for a good harvest in the next year. The Americans changed the lyrics, but either way the music and both lyrics are beautiful.
@@monikakolova1327
The adaptation seems to have been done by a Ukrainian, who kept everything except the lyrics.
It's like sharing a recipe: if you know your guests don't like spicy food, you adjust the recipe for them. It won’t be the original recipe, but they'll still discover a piece of the tradition.
It's unfortunate that the origin of the song isn't widely known, but on the other hand, this version helped introduce the music to the world. Those who want to learn more will eventually find the answer.
Beautiful song, beautiful voice, glory to Ukraine!🧡

Ever since I first heard this version of the song last spring I must hear it a least once a week, it's so beautifully performed. Me, I am proud just to stand with Ukraine, like all decent civilised people in the world do, at least if they know what's going on there. Here in Scandinavia I haven't heard of anyone not wanting to support Ukraine all the way, and no matter the cost. Ukraine must and will win. Slava Ukraini! - Heroyam Slava! - Stay safe!
@@larsrons7937 Thanks A LOT!!! Your heart, and heart of your Country are SO BIG. I look at my beautiful 6 years old daughter, and I cry. Because right away in Ukraine a children are dying under the ruins of houses was destroyed by Russian
missiles S-300 and X-22 and Calibre.
@@rubberduckyconvoy2723 I too cry. Every day. I never had children. But I do have feelings. These tragedies happen every day in Ukraine, and it's unpredictable where. Russia can't win over Ukraine on the battlefield, so instead they fight the civilians, with weapons meant to destroy large military targets. It is pure terror.
Russia want to reconquer everything they once "had" (back then it was also stolen by force), they are potetially at war with almost everything around them. Russia chose their war to be fought in Ukraine now. Ukraine is only defending itself, and is fighting for survival. Survival of all of us. If Russia wins Putin will continue. Ukraine must (and will) win. For the safety of all. But most of all for the Ukrainians, who never deserved such terror being thrown at them.
Putin's regime today is pure evil. Until it falls it will be a threat to everything near Russia. Putin's regime must fall, and it can only happen on the battlefield in Ukraine. Ukraine must win the war so thoroughly that Russia collapses, or completely changes to an all different kind of government.
Here in Scandinavia we've always tried to be very tolerant, towards the Soviets and Russia too. There's no tolerance left towards Russia now, you can't be tolerant to a murderous mafia boss who let people kill or suffer to achieve and keep power.
No matter how much we believe in peace and tolerance, at this point we need our military mind to achieve it. That means supporting Ukraine, as much, as soon and in every way they need it. And there are as many good reasons to support Ukraine as there are decent, civilised people on the planet.
Now I hope we all send the victory load of weapons Ukraine needs to finish the war as soon and thoroughly as possible, to end the terror and suffering. To let children again grow up in a nice warm world of good relations between people. To grow up to become decent, civilised, friendly human beings themselves. The children must be our biggest concern, they are our future.
I, we all, firmly trust that Ukraine will push the Russians all the way back, win the war, liberate all their territories, put an end to all the terror. And begin a new future, with many wounds to heal, but with freedom, security, peace, prosperity - and many new friends.
Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! Stay safe!
