Bobrivnik, Poltava Region, Ukraine, traditional

A carol for Shchedrik (Generous Evening), Ukrainian New Year’s Eve

“Within this household, it is like a crown of flowers…
Generous evening, good evening, good health to all good people!

The master of the house is like a vineyard…
Generous evening, good evening, good health to all good people!

The woman of the house is like a snowball tree...
Generous evening, good evening, good health to all good people!

And the children are like flowers…
Generous evening, good evening, good health to all good people!
