Baby, show me your love...
Baby, show me your love...
Baby, show me your love...
Show me your love...
Baby, show me your love...
Baby, show me your love...
Baby, show me your love...
I'll go up the hill, look at the valley
If there goes, if there goes my sweetheart.
My dear, tell me, when you started to love,
I'm in love since I've walked the garden,
I've walked the garden, at my parent's (place)
I walk the garden, I'm not looking at the window*.
And on that window was the token laying,
The token was laying - the grape's branch
Grape, my grape, my green grape
The grape hangs on the branch, the nightingale sings at the cage
My nightingale, nightingale, my canary
Sing your song, about my bitter life
Sing your song, about my bitter life
My bitter life, what have you lead me to,
I'd better haven't known you, was strange to you
My heart wouldn't suffer, I'd be calm
Heart aches, fevers, I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do, if I should leave, if I should love
If such a dandy, and loves such a plague
For such a fine fellow to love beautiful maiden...
Baby, show me your love...
My bitter life, what have you lead me to,
I'd better haven't known you, was strange to you
I'll go up the hill, look at the valley
If there goes, if there goes my sweetheart.

Baby, show me your love...
(Oh, and what were you, Galochka, thinking
When you gave your white hand through the fence)
(Oh I was thinking a thought, and not a single one,
How I'll please my mother-in-law)
Baby, show me your love...

Seriously? So hard to listen to.
There's a KEXP live version of this on youtube that is really languid and amazing. Definitely worth checking it out. Also the visuals are great.
10 for me

This group is as unique and cohesive a group as I've seen. Watching them live or via video is mesmerizing. I get lost in the web they weave. I love the combination of his alto-mousy, vocals with the layered and often repetitive vocals from the women in the group.

I had a hell of a u-turn of assessment for this one.
What a unique sound!
Thank you for introducing us to the genre of "Ethano-chaos"

You said it well. "Interesting" vocals, but the groove is solid. The voice...... sort of maybe goes okay with it? I don't hate the song. With repeated listenings, I might even get used to the voice :)

This is the first time I've heard this and I sit here listening in awe. The diverse vocals throughout the song combine with each other to make a beautiful song. I appreciate not everyone will enjoy this song but highly recommend giving it an entire listen before forming a rating/review. Another RP gem imo.
So thankful this was long enough for me to stop working and go and sit and listen closely. Now I am floating. Thanks!
I walked over to hit PSD> but decided to read about the artists first. Interesting. Then the music actually got more interesting, too. Not gonna run out and buy the CD tonight (well OK, download) but I appreciate the different cultural music and sounds.
Thanks for the exposure, Bill !!

*so at first listen I’m thinking, these vocals are kooky… shit, I can’t sing but maybe I could still pull off a singing career (haha)! Maybe a “2 or 3” rating on just vocal ability. Then I think - is this some of that new-soul, urban stuff that’s come out recently? (not a fan, honestly) “Why Bill, I applaud you giving us something interesting and new, but this is some kooky crap!” Then I hear the magic, the artistry and soul start to shine through. It’s been said “Love covers a multitude of Sin.” But a strong bass groove love = solid listening! Thanks Bill for the introduction to some unique and beautiful. Cheers!

Ouch, very painful to listen to, like nails on a chalkboard- please stop
Це один з найталановитіших українських музичних етно гуртів, який вже більше 15 років створює свою унікальну музику з використанням фольклору. В своєму репертуарі музиканти використовують декілька різних мов, але все одно відчувається старовинний дух України. Вони дуже круті! Я вам рекомендую потрапити на їх концерт, вони часто гастролюють Америкою та Європою. В них дуже крута атмосфера на концертах, слухати їх наживо на багато краще ніж в записі!
Респект музикантам та вашій радіостанції

This is one of the most talented Ukrainian musical ethnic groups, which has been creating its unique music using folklore for more than 15 years. The musicians use several different languages in their repertoire, but the ancient spirit of Ukraine is still felt. They are very cool! I recommend you to go to their concert, they often tour America and Europe. They have a very cool atmosphere at concerts, listening to them live is much better than on record!
Respect to the musicians and your radio station

I'm finding myself regularly intrigued at this group's various tracks on RP as they pop up on the playlist...so glad that someone made William and the RP gang aware of their existence....cheers to you....
They sing not in Ukrainian, but in Russian with just a few words in Ukrainian. A combination of both languages is common in Ukraine.
Well, for sure unusual and interesting.
You got me to google more info about these guys.... KEXP has a live performance on youtube. Thanks!
