"At a time when there was neither land nor sky, only one blue sea - in the middle of this sea there were two oaks, and two doves sat on the oaks; the doves went down to the bottom of the sea, got sand and stone, from which the earth was created, the sky and heavenly bodies".
The mythological plot reflected in this ancient carol existed even in the days of the Scythians: on the bronze relief from the Scythian mound there is a tree with birds, and the sun and the moon. Similar subjects can be found on Ukrainian embroidered towels up to the beginning of the 20th century. Investigate
there were children who did not speak for a long time, so they were given a drink of water from a ritual bell. If there was a girl in the house, she gave each caroler apples and nuts:
Farewell to us, Greek youth,
Buckwheat young man, Mr. Vasyl!
Goy, healthy, healthy, and not alone,
And not by himself, but also with a son, from mothers,
Yes, and with the father, from the mothers, and from all the children.
We wish you good health,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
And with this Christmas, this New Year,
This New Year, good luck,
Good income and long life.
Give you, God, happiness and health,
Happiness, health and good growth,
Father, have fun with you,
To receive your dowry,
Your dowry and happy,
Oh, be healthy!
Будь нам здоров, гречной молодец,
Гречный молодец, пан Василий!
Гой, здоров, здоров, да и не сам собов,
Да и не сам собов, да и с ветком, из матерей,
Да и с ветком, из матерей, да и со всев челядков.
Увенчаем тебя счастьем-здоровьем,
Щистым-здоровим и с этим Рождеством,
Да и с этим Рождеством, этим Новым Годом,
Этим Новым Годом, прибылью хорошей,
Прибылью хорошей и возрастом долгой.
Дай же тебе, Боже, счастье-здоровье,
Чисти-здоровье да и хорошую зрелость,
Отцу мать с тебя радость,
Чтобы дождаться приданого твоего,
Приданого твоего и счастливого,
О, пока здоров!
