Shchedryk / Щедрик. Carol of the Bells. Original Ukrainian Version with English and Ukrainian Lyrics
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 гру 2020
- ✽ “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

This is a gift from Ukrainians to the world.
Unfortunately, I don't think they (Ukrainians) are getting the credit and recognition truly deserved here. Their own composers and artisans of all kinds are less well-known than they should be, this musical arrangement a prime example. Everyone thinks this a "christmas song" when it has nothing to do with that Middle-eastern religion whatsoever.
@@EyeSeeThruYou це пісня про традиційний Щедрий вечір, який святкували задовго до Різдва. Просто так вийшло, що одне свято "злилося" з іншим коли прийшло християнство.

Як на мене це нормально, не бачу ніякої дивини в тому, що далека країна не знаю чогось про нас. Особливо враховуючи модернічність їхньої строю, де мігрантів і нового загалом завжди не-зраховні числа. Звичайно було б добре коли знали б більше але для того слід самим вчитися тому хто ми є і, що робили наші предки. Мені особисто навіть тут в Україні, знаючи українську і намагаючись це отримати силами все одно важко знайти багато достойного медійного контенту.

I had no idea that Carol of the Bells was Ukrainian. It's one of those Christmas songs I've always known and loved but never thought about the origins. Being British, I love all things dark, gothic and slightly morbid, and this song puts a gothic, dark and mysterious mood to Christmas. That's probably why it's so popular here. I love it very much. Thank you Ukraine.
Нappy that you got to know it!♥️👋🇺🇦

Most mystical about it, I find, is that it is a pagan song dating from before Christianity in Ukraine, later adapted to become the Bell Carol. I love this fact because it proves how even before the religion, these people were seeing the beauty of the universe and honoring it in what was their New Year celebration, which for Slavic pagans began in the spring, when the shchedryk emerged. ua-cam.com/video/Zujdol3FNcY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=VictorAlexiev this video explains it and just look at these visuals!

As a Chinese person, I didn't find anything wrong about translating this song into English, because it can make people who don't understand Ukrainian understand the song better. The "virtue signaling" doesn't exist in this song at all. It's just about expressing the beauty of culture. Ms. Eileen, please continue to make more beautiful music works.

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! 🇺🇦
en cette nuit de Noël 24 décembre 2023 si tourmentée pour l'Ukraine, le monde écoutera votre Carol merveilleusement chanté !
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 UA-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)

Very beautifully sung and produced. At first I was stunned at the lovely lilting flow in English and my mind wandered in rapture until I suddenly realised it was now Ukrainian. The transition was seamless. Really Ukrainian has surprised me with the beauty of its languages and culture. You've made a fan of me, Eileen.
And this song is originally old national Ukrainian song:)

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.
So I'm 2 years too late, but WOW this is beautiful!!
I had no idea about the origin of this song, than you SO much for sharing
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.

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.

@@geezlepuss7863 Um, the lyrics.
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!

I first heard of this song as "The Ukrainian Bell Choir", as a child when I didn't even know what "Ukrainian" meant. (At the time Ukraine was a provence of the Soviet Union, and I probably would have found that to be off-putting if I had known it at the time). But I liked the melody, and later recognized it when I heard it introduced as "Carol of the Bells".
More recently, my church's handbell choir had played it to start our annual Christmas concert for a few years, until the concert schedule was disrupted by the pandemic. In 2021, we had a scaled back concert, and didn't play "Carol of the Bells". Two months later, when Russia attacked Ukraine, I suggested that we should now play "Carol of the Bells", even though it was out of season, to show solidarity with Ukraine.

Чудовий голос, чудова співачка, чудова пісня. Подарунок українців всьому світові. Коли був маленький то полюбляв "Один вдома" і навіть не здогадувався що пісня, яку співали в церкві в фільмі була саме "Carol of the bells"
Als ich den Film zum ersten Mal sah, war ich hoch erfreut, dass dieses Lied in der Kirche gesungen wurde. Es trieb mir gleich Tränen in die Augen, weil es so schöne Harmonien hat und weil ich dieses Lied in meiner Jugendzeit gehört hatte, danach lange nicht mehr.

As beautiful as the Ukrainian costume Ms Eileen is wearing. Please, World, don't forget the struggle of Ukraine over the worries that the Middle East have brought.
I love how the having dark eyebrows is seen as beautiful in Ukraine as opposed to the traditional Eurocentric attitude of calling nearly ghostly pale/blonde/fair hair/skin as more beautiful than others. I'm reminded of our own songs that speak of the beauty of dark voluminous hair like stormclouds, strong arched brows often compared to bows, dark kajal lined eyes like deer.
Among with dark eyebrows, brown colour of eyes is seen as beautiful too :) it's literally synonyms for "beauty"
This music introduced me to the Ukrainian language. And i must say its lovely. Warm hugs from south💛
This is better than the bells that we are used to hearing. I never knew there were even words to it.
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.
Peremogu !!!
Gorgeous, and so poignant in these terrible times for Ukrainians. Victory and good fortune to you from a friend in England.
Ooh, it's SO refreshing to hear the song in a different language. Very beautiful, even hauntingly beautiful

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
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.
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!

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!
_...now give a hug to your daughter from someone in a country far away who is glad that she is among us and wish her to be safe and happy._
@@larsrons7937 You are touched my heart by each word was coming from your HUGE HEART. Thank YOU! I will back home from a road tonight, and I will BIG WARM HUG my youngest daughter. I have 4 children. Girls25, 18, 6, and Boy of 14. I will show them all your massage. I want to get your massage to White House.
@@rubberduckyconvoy2723 Thank you for your reply. Make that big hug to _all_ your family. We must stand together to overcome evil - and we will.
PS. I watched pres. Zelenskyy's talks in the White House and his amazing speech in Congress, and my respect for him grew from very much to enormous. And the most describing word I can find for him, his speech, and in fact all in Ukraine, is... *inspiration.* Take care.
I had no idea! I thought it was a traditional English carol. So beautiful, it's always been one of my favorite Christmas songs.
вона не різдвяна та не колядка
Гарний переклад) ніде ще не зустрічала, щоб англійською співали саме "Щедрика", а не "Carol of the bells". І пані дуже красна)
Песня вообще то украинская изначально
@@Ultramegapooper ДА ЛАДНО А Я НЕ ЗНАЛ ОБ ЭТОМ ЖЕ НЕ БЫЛО ВСЁ ВИДЕО
автор написал о том, что известная именно Carol of the bells, которая с щедриком из общего имеет только мелодию
@@Stanislav_Orlov автор комментария написала о том, что автор видео в самом начале, в английской версии спела "щедрик", а не "Carol of the bells", как поют на английском. Ёрничает он тут, хотя сам ничего не понял... нельзя так.
Loved singing this song as a child back in Ukraine! Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Magnificent. Incredibly beautiful. Only in recent days have I learned that this song was the original composition to which English lyrics were derived and called Carol Of The Bells. It was introduced to the West and made its American debut at Carnegie Hall in 1922. There, it was sung by a Ukrainian choir when Ukraine was fighting Russia for its freedom. How sad, how glorious that exactly 100 tears later Ukraine again fights Russia for its freedom. Slava Ukraini.
Wonderful song and incredible performance! Thank you for the pleasure you brought. Merry Christmas!
Simply sensational. You have the voice of an Angel. Thank you for this amazing performance.
Po ukraińsku brzmi to sto razy lepiej. Teraz ta melodia będzie mi chodzić po głowie.
To brzmi pięknie w każdym języku

To prawda, bracie.
When I stopped celebrating Christmas about 8 years ago, I missed a handful of beautiful songs that are always associated with that holiday. I'm so happy to find out that this song was originally Pagan and had nothing to do with the Western Christmas holiday 💙💛💙💛 Love from Alaska 💙💛💙💛
I think one one of the reasons it sounds almost hauntingly beautiful is the droning harmonies. That isn't something I've seen too often.
As a Malaysian, let me tell you this song is God sent ! A heavenly Ukrainian hymn, simple but so meaningful that the world did not know much of because of communist Josef Stalin and the USSR's oppression of Ukraine culture and music for all those years. Amazing voice from Nina. Slava Ukrainya (Glory to Ukraine) !
@@alexanderrepin1103 Oh yeah.... wasn't oppressed by USSR and its rulers... really? sounds like you don't know the history of your nation... if you're Ukrainian. If not - just don't say what you don't know well.
@gфøglэ рlûš Definitely we're not. because Stalin is dead for about 70 years, didn't he? But we were so I recommend you to learn English a bit more and the history of your nation.
@gфøglэ рlûš wow. I still have relatives who remember those times. and they describe those times in another way. with genocide and other oppression attributes.
@@alexanderrepin1103 I do not believe news from TV but I do believe information from my relatives who lived that time and to documents from archives. And your opinion is dust comparing to these. By the way... seems like you're Russian.
@@alexanderrepin1103
Да ещё есть манкурты из украинцев, которые уже и украинцами себя то толком не считают, которые верят украинофоской, кремлёвскоц пропаганде.
Пропаганде что гололомор, геноцид украинцев это просто так, любов Сталина.
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!
A very beautiful voice and interesting choice of traditional Ukrainian music.
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
💛💙 ✌ Все буде Україна
It is epic! Ukraine is highly talented!💙👍
Пісня бомба, а вбрання просто неймовірно личить, буду чекати ще колядок))))
Beautiful song, beautiful voice, glory to Ukraine!🧡
Upvote for Ukrainians!!! This is beautiful to know and to hear the history of this beloved tune
I always knew this wasn't a Christmas song....but I have always known it was an amazingly beautiful song.
It's pretty much still a Christmas song. It's about Welcoming the New year
It was a pagan Yule carol. Shchedryvka in Ukrainian means Yule.
@@scythianking7315 Christmas and New Year celebration are different things, despite what religious organizations want to brainwash people into. So something being about New Year does not automatically make it Christmas. New Year celebration this song was originally about did not even happen in winter - it was celebrated in spring. It celebrates new year that comes once winter ends and birds start coming back for spring.
It’s a new year song. Before Christian era, new year was in spring. And this bird is the symbol of awakening nature
Це - фантастика!!! Магія чарівного голосу, казкової мелодії та беззаперечної краси українських дівчат!
Послушала, посмотрела, расчувствовалась!!!!Благодарю, Лялюша, обнимаю, поздравляю с Рождественскими святками!!!
You are very beautiful lady Eileen i.m very sad that Russians started war against your country and your voice is lovely greetings Janezki88 from Finland ❤
My 4 year old American born daughter absolutely loves this song and has learned to sing it in our native Ukrainian language. Wife was born in Khmelnitskiy and I am from Odessa. Between the 3 of us, we are trilingual in English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
it`s very cool!!! I am proud of Ukraine! I am Ukrainian and proud of it! Glory to Ukraine and its people!!!
Дуже гарне виконання і окреме дякую за англійські субтитри😌
Неперевершено!
@Атер Тогар это не та английская версия, это перевод оригинального текста
I can listen to this for hours. It's so beautiful. When she sings in the native language I get chills all over my body. Now knowing it's a pagan song makes sense. Carol of the bells has always been my favorite carol. Now that I'm pagan I understand why I was more drawn to it then others.
This is my favourite carol, lovely to hear the words and her voice is amazing. Lovely.
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
