lyrics

Лихо (Misfortune\Trouble)

(both misfortune/trouble and an allegorical mythical negative personage)

(music & lyrics by CHUR, liner notes by AR)

This song describes the problems of Ukraine nowadays in a folkish allegorical and ironic manner: a loss of moral principles under the influence of globalization, youths’ renunciation of folk traditions, and destruction of an institute of marriage. A situation in the country is compared with a situation in a family when a strange woman makes drunkards of children and robs their house, and these children turn their mother out of the house and spend their time drinking uninterruptedly, bashing their father about.

Ой, там над водою
Плаче мати під вербою.
Плаче та й хитає
Головою:

“Ой, дітоньки мої,
Що ж то ви накоїли-
Чужу бабу запросили,
Мене вигнали!”

Чужа баба стіл накрила,
Та й брехнею застелила,
Всіх вином зеленим
Отруїла.

Хто спить, хто співає,
А хто батька побиває,
А вона добро із хати
Витягає.

Ой, не йдіть, не йдіть, дівчата
Та й заміж за чорта-
В його дупа волохата,
Ще й пика чорна!

Ой, нехай мої дитята
Будуть чортенята,
Буде в мене повна хата
Золота багато!

Ой, не бери ти, Іване
Галю за дружину-
З парубками п’є-гуляє,
Натира коліна!

Ой, будуть в моєї Галі
Діточки гарненькі-
Те біленьке, те руденьке
А іще чорненьке!

Ой, там над водою
Плаче мати під вербою.
Плаче та й хитає
Головою:

“Ой, дітоньки мої,
Що ж то ви накоїли-
Рідну матінку забули
Хату пропили!”
