From Eileen:
This video was made possible thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine because their daily struggle against the russian occupiers is the reason I am able to create and just be alive. To help Ukrainians to endure, it is necessary to support the AFU, and for this you can donate any amount to the ‘Come Back Alive’ fund which has been helping our military all this time: https://savelife.in.ua/
Charming interpretation!
The haunting tune is from the old English folk song Greensleeves that goes back to Tudor times.
It was reimagined as a Christmas carol in Victorian times; with new lyrics.
I don’t know how or when it entered Ukrainian culture. I believe the song is well known in the US also.
To Christians the birth of Christ is the festival of the year. ruZZians are Godless heathens who have satanically perverted the message of Christianity to suit their own evil purposes. Their “patriarch” is a foul KGB Colonel whose mansion in Switzerland was funded by tobacco racketeering.
Another from Eileen:
I’ve always loved this Christmas carol set to the enchanting “Greensleeves” and I wondered how it would sound in my native Ukrainian language. So, as I always do in such cases, I made a translation of this carol 🙂
