Ой у Гаю при Дунаю / In the Grove by the Danube - Ukrainian folk song (Трио “Три в Одном“)

This is a Ukrainian folk song; the arrangement here is based on a performance by the Ukrainian folk band Trio Marenich. Here is a translation of the lyrics into English: Oy u gayu, pri Dunayu In the Grove near the Danube In the grove by the Danube1 A nightingale sings. He calls all his family to the nest. Oh chirp! chirp! and chirp! chirp! chirp! A nightingale sings, He calls all his family to the nest. In the grove by the Danube Musicians play. The bass hums, the violin weeps, My sweetheart makes merry Oh chirp! chirp! and chirp! chirp! chirp! Musicians play. The bass hums, the violin weeps, My sweetheart makes merry. In the grove by the Danube I stand in solitude. I cry and yearn for you, my love, sobbing more and more. Oh chirp! chirp! and chirp! chirp! chirp! A nightingale sings, He calls all his family to the nest. In the video: Sophie Cooper
