The Spooky Men’s Chorale sing Ukranian Folk song, Plyve Kacha

This is a Ukranian folk song which became widely associated with mourning the massacre at Maidan in the Crimea in 2014. It speaks of a duckling but also asks where a mother will bury her son if he dies in a faraway land. We had 10 minutes to record this song just before a gig in Kelvin NSW, near Gunnedah, and a horse came to listen. The source of our arrangement of the song is here: and the full translation of lyrics follows. Filming: Rebecca Ryan Editing and Post production: Ben Robinson Oh, duckling floats on Tisyna Duckling floats on Tisyna. My mother, don’t swear me, My mother, don’t swear me. Oh, if you will swear me at dark hour, If you will swear me at dark hour. I don’t know where I’ll die, I don’t know where I’ll die. Oh, I’ll die on foreign lands I will die on foreign lands. Who will prepare a grave for me? Who will prepare a grave for me? Oh, another people will prepare, Strangers will prepare. Won’t you regret, mother? Won’t you regret, mother? Oh, my son, how could I not regret? My son, how could I not regret? You were laying on my heart, You were laying on my heart.
