Shchedryk Ukrainian Choir Series
На майдані, на риночку / On the Maidan, On the Market
arr. Roman Surzha
Ukrainian Christmas Folk Song with a dance character, emphasized by a tambourine accompanying the singing.
SSA choir and percussion
“On the Maidan, On the Market” describes a Christmas picture of a fairground with a festively decorated pine tree around which guys and girls have gathered. There are jokes, laughter, flirting…
The song has a dance character which is emphasized by the presence of a tambourine accompanying the singing. In the beginning we see the picture as if from afar, approaching the square where the fun takes place, gradually increasing the variations. The song ends with merry laughter.
Text
Na majdani, na rynotʃku
Du-tu…
Na majdani, na rynotʃku
Stoyitj sosonka v barvinotʃku
Kruhom neji obmeteno
Barvinotʃkom opleteno
Kruhom neji obmeteno
Barvinotʃkom opleteno
Kruhom neji ohni horiatj
Kruhom neji divky sydiatj
A-ho-ja-ho! Ohni horiatj
A-ho-ja-ho! Divky sydiat
Tudy hlopci zbyralusia
Na med-horilku skladalysia
A toj Vania najbilʃe dav
Bo vin Mariju spodobav
A-ho-ja-ho! Mariju
A-ho-ja-ho! Spodobav
-Traditional Ukrainian Folk Song
Translation:
On the Maidan, On the Market
imitating a plucked instrument
On the maidan, on the market
Pine tree hemmed in periwinkle
Sweeping wind gusts blue braids blowing
Pine tree entwined with periwinkle
Sweeping wind gusts blue braids blowing
Pine tree entwined with periwinkle
Fires are burning all around her,
Girls are sitting all around her.
Uh-huh! The lights are on.
Uh-huh! The girls sit down.
Fine boys used to gather there,
Collected money for honey vodka.
Vanya gave the greatest vodka
Because Maria had his affection.
Uh-huh! Maria,
Uh-huh! He liked her.
