Це не просто пісня, це плач Украіни

І сто років тому, Україна з цією піснею ховала загиблих героїв....

Najbardziej rozdzierający hymn, dla poległych Bohaterów Ukrainy. Nigdy nie słuchałam go bez łez,bo po prostu to niemożliwe. Bohaterom Ukrainy Chwała.

Герої не вмирають!

It is impossible for a Ukrainian to listen to this song without a lump in his throat. Tears in the eyes immediately.

Кожен раз плачу, коли цю пісню слухаю. В ній уся біль нашої України.

Ця пісня- навіює ті страшні спогади про Майдан. Пробирає до кісток і вселяє той жаль, ту тугу по небесній сотні. Я не емоційна людина, і рідко коли проявляв, щире, співчуття до бід інших. Але ця пісня не залишає мене байдужим. Я плачу. 😢😢

Ви навіть не уявляєте на скільки це болюча пісня для всіх українців Перемога за нами❤

💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭я не може без сліз і болю чути цю пісню....

This is a burrial/mourning song traditional to montane Ukraine. The duck swimming on the river is a metaphor for a soul crossing into the afterlife. Among the lyrics there are lines like "mom, please don't be mad at me, if you'll be mad at me at bad times, I might die in a faraway place." And a mom's response in the end "how could I be mad at you? You lay on my heart." (The translation is very rough) the Pikardiyska Tercia is an accapella group, famous in Ukraine. They are not priests, but the song itself does have such sound. In modern days, it has regained popularity during the Revolution of dignity 2014. It was a favourite song of one of the fallen activists, so that is how the people said goodbye to him, and then to the other fallen. It has continued it's decades (and century) long tradition of being mourning song for the fallen heroes. On a scale of a full war, the Mom in the song has once more begun to mean the country, saying goodbye to her fallen sons, making the lyrics striking not just personally but also nationaly.

This is sound of pain of all Ukrainian. Can't listen this without tears 💔💔💔. This is very important song, because Ukraine has been burying heroes of the Revolution of Dignity and war heroes since 2014 under this song

It's a metaphoric conversation of a child (duckling) and his mother. The child is dead somewhere far from home. It desribes feelings of losing life and losing a child. Mother can't even bury the child, but some strangers may do this. And swimming of a duckling is a symbol of life in this song. It has a very deep and metaphoric meaning. For many years this song is used during funeral ceremonies or moments of silence. This song is a grief put into music .

Thanks! This is not just a song, it is the cry of the soul of every mother in Ukraine.

Thank you, Momo! Every time when I listen to this song I get a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. This song is dedicated to Ukrainians who died in the fight for the freedom of Ukraine. For me it is like a prayer. 🙏💔💛💙

Неможливо стримати сліз коли чую цю пісню , пробирає до душі

Велика подяка що показуєте нашу культуру іншим людям. І тимпаче таку гарну музику... Плине кача дійсно наша культурна спадщина.. емоції і думки в ній це біль всіх українців...

Слава нашим Героям! Герої не вмирають! 😭🙏

This is the unofficial anthem of the Heavenly Hundred, who died during the Revolution of Dignity (Euromaidan) in 2013-2014. To this song, the coffins of the fallen heroes were carried. The song is performed in the Lemki dialect. I cannot translate the lyrics of the song literally because of my poor knowledge of English. I always cry to this song, it conveys all the pain of my people.

прощаемося з нашими рідними -ця наша українська народна пісня- стала сльозами,горем таким болючим

Ця пісня це плач та печаль усіх дітей які втратили батьків , усіх жінок що не побачать чоловіка ....... Сльози батьків які ніколи більше не побачать та не обіймуть своїх дітей 😓😓😓😓😓 Україна вдячна всім хто їй допомагає , і не забуде ніколи вашої доброти 🇺🇦

Every time I hear this song I am crying like a child. And remember all the people who died for our future, for our freedom.

It's funeral hymn of Ukraine

Дякую за відео. Ох, ця пісня, завжди викликає багато емоцій. Вона дуже гарна. Але також тепер вона назавжди пов'язана з прощанням з полеглими героями.

Завжди плачу, коли чую цю пісню. А хлопці співають неймовірно, без жодного інструменту , лише голос

This melody is the quintessence of the deepest grief and sorrow for each and every Ukrainian. This is not a song, it is the lament of the wounded soul of my people It can be used as a test for being a true Ukrainian to the bottom of your soul. If you are not crying and can breathe normally while hearing it - you are not Ukrainian (that is not anyhow bad, just a fact). It have been 9 years since it regained it's traditional use of requiem for those, killed in action (not just dead, it is very specific and used only for fallen warriors or defenders), we are hearing this song alot, especially in 2022, but EACH time it just brokes your soul to shreds and makes you cry, no matter that it is the 1000 time you hear it

translates literally to “the duckling swims”, In Ukrainian Culture, Ducks Swimming, is symbolic of the Crossing of the Waters from physical Life to Death… thus then to the other side and to Heaven. Here it is of the River Tysyni. - the lyrics are a dialogue between a mother and a son going off to war----- My dear mother, what will happen to me if I die in a foreign land? Well, my dearest, you will be buried by other people. Will you grieve over me Mother? How could I not grieve, my Son? For You have just lain across my Heart ❤💔💙💛

This song is a pure representation of our pain and loss deep in our heart. The scars that never heal 😔

it's impossible to listen to this song without painkillers 💔

Ukrainians can't listen this song without tears 🥺

Когда-то на их концерте у нас в городе, только они начали эту песню, весь зал как по команде встал и стоя слушали до конца. Стоя аплодировали. А когда закончили, Владимир Якимец такой улыбается и говорит- А чому ви повставали? А ты просто не можешь не встать-это такая энергия! Я сам не понял почему встал, но точно не потому, что все. Оно как-то само... Кто там знает английский, посоветуйте ему послушать живые выступления, пусть его порвет на куски. Это конечно не зал, но тоже сработает, сто процентов.

Thank you 💛 💙 Hey, swims the duckling, on the Tysyn, Swims, the duckling, on the Tysyn. Oh, dear mother, don't scold me so, Oh dear mother, don't scold me so, Hey, you scandal us, in this, evil hour, Scandal you us, in this, evil hour, Myself, I do not know, where I will die, Myself I do not know, where I will die, Hey, I will perish, in a land foreign, Perish will I, in a foreign land. Who, among us, will, take a pit? Who among us, will take a pit? Hey, Strangers for us, will now choose, For us will strangers , now choose. For you, will this not be, sorrow, dear mother? For you will this not be sorrow, dear mother? Hey, how can this not be, my son sorrow for me? For me, how can this not be, sorrow my son? For you, had lain, on my dear heart, For you had lain on, my dear heart. Hey, swims the duckling, on the Tysyn, Swims the duckling on, the Tysyn. lyricstranslate.com

Це Туга за нашими Героями. Вічна слава. Героям Слава.

Thank you for falling in love with a Ukrainian song and promoting it on your channel. This is very important for Ukrainians, who were previously indistinguishable from Russians. It is especially pleasing that you are introducing to the world performers who, unfortunately, are no longer young, but are very popular in Ukraine. Acapella singing of the Picardy third is not for dancing and entertainment, but their concerts always gathered full halls.

This is a son's song to his mother who died in the war. The whole sadness is that the son asks the mother not to cry, and how can the mother not cry when the son has passed away. Today, this is the song with which we bury our soldiers! our Heroes of Ukraine. Our hearts are overwhelmed with pain and grief!

Біль, сльози, сум, спогади. Цей жаль назавжди в серці. Рідненькі наші хлопчики, герої захисники ми плачемо за вами, памятаємо вас наши герої. Серце крається слухаючи цю пісню. Невже ми все це пережили. Виконання не перевершене

one day you will be listening Belarusian folk songs and understanding the whole pain and sorrow for the past 100 years what free people of Belarus suffering. This particular song is an anthem, I can't listen it without tears. Greetings from one belarusian guy.

This song is the essence of grief. Yeah every time I hear it i get chills too. I think the music is based in the Orthadox Church liturgical music tradition. Serious stuff. First time I heard the song it was a video of a funeral of several soldiers for one village. The people lined the street, kneeling in the dirt and snow. It was very moving. Ukrainians know how to demonstrate honor. Slava Ukraine.

Cant listen to this song without tears. feels like it was yesterday, not years ago. Thanks for the vid.

Our soul's are crying with this song, every time

Ця неймовірна пісня пов’язана з найдраматичнішими подіями, у тому числі і сьогодення. Саме ця пісня лунала під час прощання з Героями Небесної сотні, яких убили на Майдані. Жоден українець не може слухати цю пісню без сліз. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xZ8xDKnMlds.html

The most heartbreaking anthem for the fallen Heroes of Ukraine. I've never listened to him without tears, because it's just impossible. Glory to the heroes of Ukraine.

9 years since like... and still my eyes are full of tears

It's impossible not to cry while listening to this song. Too many deaths of our heroes. Revolution of Dignity. Donbas since 2014 and now the war...

I have been watching your channel since February 24 and as a Ukrainian I want to say thank you for all the reactions that you made and showed our videos to people in Europe and America through your reactions. As for this song, since the events of the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, it has become a military requiem. If you are interested in learning the translation, then here is the link to the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fSUFqK1ZsPs.html

Це біль втрати нашого цвіту...

Judging from the description in the wiki, the song was first recorded in the 1940s in Transcarpathia. The song was sung by the Ukrainian insurgent army during World War II. It was also popular in the 1950s, when the rebel army continued its underground struggle against the USSR.

Every ukrainian lost tears every time they hear this song. And I'm in that list. It's so powerful and painful as well...

Thank you thank you thank you uncle MOMO! This song received a second breath as a funeral song after the shooting of protesters at the Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv. This funeral song accompanied many videos, many farewells to the dead, first protesters and then soldiers.

Дякую вам. Пр иємно що ваше серце так відчуває українську музику та культуру. Благословінь Божих.

Дуже важко, до сліз.

Душа розвертається❤🇺🇦

Ця пісня завжди лунаю в відео про прощання з солдатами 😢просто врозсип душі

The whole pain of our Ukraine is in this song. 😭😭😭

it's polyphonic singing, this is an accapella Ukrainian group. This group is known for their accapella vocals. the song has a history but suffice to say that this is not about a duck swimming but is an illustration of something else.

❤

Жаль що без відео, є кліп на пісню. Було б зрозуміліше. 🇺🇦

💔🖤

назавжди запам`ятала як під цю пісню передавали із рук у руки труни на майдані 2014

💛💙🙏 I'm crying😪

This is an old ukrainian lemko's song which from 2013 has actually become a requiem to those who died for freedom of Ukraine, either in the revolution or in the war.

eyes burn with tears 😭 💔💔💔💔

Slava Ukraine. Heroyem Slava. It's the most beautiful song. To remember the heroes, we will not forgot.

UNCLE MOMO Дякуємо за просвітницьку працю!

Я завагітніла моїм сином коли почалися на майдані дії.Він народився.Коли чув цю пісню-плакав

♥️🖤

this is the Ukrainian funeral anthem for the Heroes of Ukraine

We listened to this song in gymnasium when we said goodbye to the people who died in the Revolution of Dignity and in the war against Russia, it is the Song of Mourning. Sorrow Song for all Ukrainians. I held myself back so as not to cry

💔

Це гімн коли ховаємо героїв

Плачу.

Під цю пісню привозять загиблих у війні, це дуже болюча пісня😭

Hey Uncle Momo! Thanks for featuring this great song! It is a really sad song, basically it’s an imaginary conversation between a soldier and his mother. It also worth mentioning - it’s not actually in a modern Ukrainian, but rather in language of Lemkos. Please, feel free to check more about the topic in wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemkos en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Duckling_Swims_in_the_Tisza

🕊🕯

Біль... 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

It's a requiem for fallen heroes, pal. watery eyes, a lump at the throat, and clenched fists, the sadness of witnessing mothers and fathers saying last goodbyes to their children. Heroes do not die, they live forever in our hearts.

😢

💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙

This song is dedicated to ALL THE HEROES OF UKRAINE WHO DEFENDED UKRAINE'S INDEPENDENCE FROM RUSSIA TO THE END.... The video for this song looks like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rhTfVVJcmYo.html .... Bright memory🥀. HEROI NE VMYRAJUT' / HEROES DO NOT DIE, THEIR MEMORY WILL LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS! ❤️🙏

pi-kar-dii-ska ter-tsi-ia ❤🌻

Герої не вмирають ми завжди будемо вас пам'ятати

I like this singing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UTPCEzl_qWc.html . They sing in the temple, which saved people during shelling on the Maidan and provided assistance to the wounded. Now farewell ceremonies for many of our heroes are held in this church. And in this video (singing show), you can see how the hall stood up in gratitude to the heroes when this song was played, and the jury could not hold back tears: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AKNFqHKwq-c.html And the girl plays the bandura, a Ukrainian folk instrument

Як може іноземець зрозуміти душу українця?Народися у київської області,одеської,чернігівської .Так само і ми їх душевних поривіф не збагнемо)Дякую,але неперекажешь.

I can't listen to this song without tears. It's always painful. Because of certain dialectical words, an accurate translation may not be enough. That's why it's sometimes hard to explain why this song feels so bitter from its words. But I assure you, for every Ukrainian, this song is very painful.

Це вся біль УКРАЇНСЬКОГО НАРОДУ 😭

🇬🇧💞🇺🇦❣️

Duckling floats on Tisyna Oh, duckling floats on Tisyna*1 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. Oh, duckling floats on Tisyna Duckling floats on Tisyna.

😢😢😢

About history of this particular song I've found something here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Duckling_Swims_in_the_Tisza

My heart crying 😔

Учитывая нынешние события трагизм песни просто зашкаливает😭😭😭😭😭😭

Завжди плачу коли її чую

Its not just a song its a pain of all nation of every person who was killed by russia on this war.

Слава Україні!!!

There is a Wikipedia page, called "A Duckling Swims in the Tisza", about this song. The words are in Lemko dialect of Ukrainian, thus not immediately understandable for foreign speakers. The archaic language forms only add to the power of the song. I am glad you felt it.

To be honest, it's a very sad and dark song, which just fits the terrible events that are happening in Ukraine now. Thanks for reaction.

Я плачу 😭 царство небесное 😢
