"Мій коханий", "Miy kohaniy" ("my darling" or if literally "my beloved man")
"Моя кохана", "Moya kohana" (if literally "my beloved wooman")/
I can advise you to pay attention to 2Cellos and Tina Guo. They don't play the violin, but the cello, and maybe, but that's what immediately came to my mind
Ukrainian version
My translation. I don't know English very well (although it's already much better than before), so I use the help of Google translator, but here I tried to convey the essence of the song as accurately as possible, so I also used a dictionary and checked much more carefully, but I could still make some mistakes somewhere.
The last couplet is not in the Mnishek song, but it is probably in the original ethnographic recording of this folk song, so I translated it too, but highlighted it in a different color.
This is the trembita "trembita" - a Ukrainian folk wind mouthpiece musical instrument. Its length is 3-4 m, and the longest trembits are as much as 8 m. Widespread in the Ukrainian Carpathians. It used to be not only a musical instrument but also a notification instrument in mountainous areas, as its sound spread up to 10 km. With its help, the shepherd reported on how cattle grazing was going on, reported the time, reported danger. The sound of trembits was also used to spread the news about weddings, births or funerals. By the way, in addition to the didgeridoo and trembita, there is another similar instrument, the Swiss Alpine horn.
This is already a story from which certain lessons can be drawn. And as for the Mongol invasion of Ukraine, their destructive influence on our lands seems to have been an exaggeration. Yes, they took Kyiv, but there was no total devastation. This is at least if certain historians are to be believed (of course, it still needs to be checked more thoroughly to be sure). And they did not leave a noticeable genetic trace here. But the first destruction of Kyiv in the history was not arranged by Baty, but by Andrii Bogolyubskyi. It is precisely from this event that one can begin to count the enmity of Russians against Ukrainians, but that is another story. The only thing that can be noted here is that we no longer have any complaints about the Mongols, and about the Russians, until 2014, most of us believed that their illness had passed and we could be normal neighbors. It hasn't passed... And the song is quite powerful!

Today I will post several clips of the Ukrainian singer Katya Chilly. Genres of her work: Folk, Electronic music, Pop, Rock, Trance, House (material from Wikipedia). Has a unique voice. The first two songs I posted are from her album "I am young", and the last one is from her relatively new work. Although there are even earlier albums, the clip "In the Earth" and recordings of her performances at the music festival in 1997 and later albums and separate things. He mainly sings Ukrainian folk songs in a modern arrangement. Used to use electronic music, now mainly live music. And it seems that a new stage in her work is being planned, in particular, on one of her channels she has started teaching Ukrainian folk lullabies in her performance and seems to be preparing something else.

Thank you so much for the translations! All of them, and info about the trembita too, of course. As for Katya Chilly.... 'Folk, Electronic music, Pop, Rock, Trance, House'.... I MUST check out her music as soon as I can.

Nice to know. A few years ago I read a small part of a historical novel that described it as a total 'scorched earth' invasion. But 'scorched earth' happens more in fiction that in reality.

First post on the forum, hi all
After scouring through the strange world of online music streams, discords, and large social media sites, it's comforting to find a discussional, slow-moving place.

Enjoyed the intimate Petri-Dish song. Same for the Sigur Ros, haven't really gotten into their music, but that track was graceful and comforting.

Seemingly I can't post links yet, but I wanted to recommend this: James K - Drunktrack. I specifically like her YouTube page, where there are some conceptual snippets, she takes good care to put the aesthetics first.

About Israel.... I meant to say before, if I may say this without angering someone that very often it's only the loudest voices that we hear about, It is NOT necessarily the majority or even a large minority. And of course so many of the news channels only cover the loudest and most radical voices because of course the quiet ones are 'not news' at all.

I don't know if this comment 'tickled my memory' of the song below (Dagestan, Caucasus region) but whatever it was, this song.... with the Circassian-styled video? definitely Circassian dance and costumes.... has been on my mind for several days. I'm only able to post it now because I just returned home last night. The lyrics of this song are immensely poetic and almost ethereal in how they stir my imagination, I get totally lost in daydreams. I've listened to the song about 10 times in the past 2 or 3 days. Loreena McKennitt has an amazing voice as well. Some words can be hard to understand because she is part Irish-Scottish-Canadian and the same word can sound different from one phrase to the next, but her singing and enunciations are just beautiful to me. The video is very old and not great quality and so it's best to play in youtube's standard 'mini-player' mode.
(I disagree with a couple of parts of song lyrics found online, but I may be wrong, any errors are my own.)




You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on

There are visions, there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires, there is laughter
There's the sound of thousands of doves

You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on

In the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
They are watching, they are waiting
They are witnessing life's mysteries

You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on

Cascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o'er the land you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destiny

You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on

Take me with you on this journey
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
In cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the tongues now lost

Find the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea

You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on

You ride on through the night
Ride on
You ride on through the night
Ride on
