- Shchedryk / Щедрик. Carol of the Bells. Original Ukrainian Version with English and Ukrainian Lyrics
✽ “Shchedryk” (the original “Carol of the Bells”) with lyrics I’ve translated from Ukrainian into English, as well as with original lyrics in Ukrainian.
“Shchedryk” was arranged by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych at the beginning of the 20th century. The song is based on the traditional Ukrainian folk chant welcoming the New Year (“shchedrivka”). In 1921, the Ukrainian National Chorus sung the song in the United States to a sold-out audience at Carnegie Hall. Later, Peter J. Wilhousky rearranged the melody for orchestra and wrote the new lyrics in English thus creating “Carol of the Bells”. The original “Shchedryk” by Leontovych was intended to be sung a cappella by mixed four-voice choir.

✽ «Щедрик» (оригінал «Колядки дзвонів») зі словами, які я переклала з української на англійську, а також з оригінальним українським текстом.
«Щедрик» був написаний українським композитором Миколою Леонтовичем на початку ХХ століття. Пісня базується на українській народній щедрівці. У 1921 році, пісню вперше почула американська аудиторія у виконанні Української республіканської капели в Карнегі-Холі. Пізніше Пітер Вільговський написав аранжування мелодії для оркестру та написав нові слова англійською, створивши «Колядку дзвонів». Оригінальний «Щедрик» Леонтовича співається акапельно змішаним хором у чотири голоси.

♫ Lyrics in English:
Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivochka
Here flew the swallow from afar
Started to sing lively and loud
Asking the master to come out
Come here, oh come, master - it’s time
In the sheepfold wonders to find
Your lovely sheep have given birth
To little lambs of great worth
All of your wares are very fine
Coin you will have in a big pile
All of your wares are very fine
Coin you will have in a big pile
You have a wife
Fair as a dove
If not the coin, then the chaff
You have a wife fair as a dove

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.
wow, this song is more than just a song, it carries so much weight
@@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 )
th-cam.com/video/jk6GZe15FRY/w-d-xo.html
Леонтович не автор этих слов. Это коляды народные.
@@user-nb4fl1cq6y 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.
In Ukraine, children sometimes still go from house to house and sing this song. In return, the owners must give them money or sweets.
And not only kids) adults used to go from house to house in special costumes, with big star and singing these kind of songs
Yesss!!!
Yeah, adults do that as well 😊😊
@@lacantaestamuyloca Yes!
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.
All Ukrainians followers wish you and your family Merry Christmas and happy New year 💛💙 Thanks you for supporting us 💫
Awwww thank you so much. I will record a video message soon 🙏🏽❤️🇺🇦🇬🇧

Like, this is probably the most famous Ukrainian song in the world, but not everyone knows its origin
it's amazing that they do not
Дякуємо Вам! Ви дуже щирий та емоційний! До того ж робите велику справу! Українцям дуже важлива Ваша підтримка!
дякую за ваш коментар, я сподіваюся, що ви в безпеці та теплі
Україні потрібна підтримка українців насамперед.
Thank you so much for sharing that information!! Not everyone knows that COB is originally Ukrainian!!
hopefully they will with my reaction, hopefully some of my amazing subscribers will share my reaction
@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!
@@podolyanochka2611 well said and very true

hey Nick, thank you for your continuous support on my channel
Величезне дякую,за підтримку нашого Народу👌
Thank you ♥️
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.
it a lovely song that many have heard but wouldn't know it's origins
Always feel proud of our culture in moments like this.
Momo, thank you for your kindness.
Слава Україні 🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧
Дякуємо за ці неймовірні теплі слова про Україну❤
Дякую за те, що ти розповсюджуєш реакції на українські пісні😍
моє задоволення
'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'
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).
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!
1000 years old wow and still standing strong with the younger generations keeping it alive
I was just going to mention how really ancient the song is, you were quicker - thanks 🙏
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?
@@user-sn2rr6gn4i альо, шановна, ви де там шо за малоросію прочитали?
@@user-sn2rr6gn4i это гугл переводчик криво переводит, Рутения (Ruthenia) - латинский вариант названия Киевской Руси
Uncle Momo you're Great! Thank you! Eileen is amazing! Ukraine will win!
Thank you so much for your reaction and support!🤗
Слава Україні! Героям слава!💛💙
my pleasure Natalia hope your staying safe
Thanks man! This song is amazing! Glory to Ukraine!
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.
like you said it's been in so many film and the fact that this is still living in this day and age. speaks volumes
@@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)..
@@UNCLEMOMO 😍
@@GrimMeowning thank you, I forgotten to add this important fact🍸 🌞
Thank you so much that you support for sharing our culture💛💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful version of this song. This song was from my childhood. Best wishes from Ukraine. Thanks for your reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it
My young child first started listening to music performed by Eileen. The son sits and listens to her attentively. She has a great voice.
Щиро дякую Вам за те, що так натхненно і з таким неймовірним захватом просуваєте українську музику по всьому світі!!!
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!💜💙💖
Дуже дякую за ваші теплі слова, це мене дуже зворушило, Google чудово переклав ваші слова
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:
th-cam.com/video/cEd3uP4Eqzg/w-d-xo.html
thanks for the link i will check out the rock version just to see how you like that version instead on Eileen lol
@@UNCLEMOMO ha-ha. Not instead - i like them both. I just like rock ;)
Дякую за посилання на рок-версію!💙💛
І хтось, до сих пір, вірить в те що: "Ленін придумав Україну"!
It translates to rock and metal so well! I can't stop listening to rock and metal renditions of it.
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.
Wow
UNCLE MOMO, thank you very much for supporting Ukraine 💙💛
Always!
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!!
You're the best!
Thank you so much for support!!

Thank you sweetheart
Зараз дуже актуальна пісня!
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!
she is amazing and really kind, i love her messages she send me when i react to her brilliant vocal arrangement
Всі українці щиро дякують тобі,за твою важку працю та підтримку💛💙
Дуже дякую за ваші коментарі, дуже цінуємо, бережіть і тепло
Each and one knows this carol in UA!
You are awesome as always in your reaction 💙💛
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))
We do it for Xmas and NY nowadays)
thank you so much for this amazing information respect
🎄Thank you dear Uncle Momo. I’ve text this to over a dozen people.🇺🇦🌺
wow thank you Uncle
Any time, Neph! 😀
Little do people know that one of the most covered songs, "summertime", originates from a ukrainian song too.
Ой, ходить сон коло вікон
th-cam.com/video/pUyZi0snypc/w-d-xo.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 🙂
Thanks for reminding me it's almost Christmas time - I honestly forgot about it with all the exams going on)))

Thank you.❤️ Great reaction on christmas song👌
Thank you for your attention to our culture and songs.
It is very pleasant and important for Ukraine!
I really like our traditional songs ❤️
its also lovely that way hoe Eileen have covered it
To put things into perspective this is indeed an old folk song celebrating the new year from the time when the new year began in spring, not in winter. Hence the references to the swallows and other spring references. The song was then adopted to celebrate the new year in winter. And when it made its way into the US it was adopted for the Christmas season. The original Ukrainian version has no mention of Christmas, bells or carols... And for those who like complexities, in Ukraine this song is not sung on Dec 31 or Jan 1, but on Jan 13, i.e. the date of the new year as per the old Julian calendar.
thank you Roma for educating my channel
