Verbovaya Doshchechka


The "Willow Board" is a Ukrainian folk song that is traditionally sung during an ancient traditional Ukrainian spring game called the Willow Board also known under many other alternative Ukrainian names such as Noise, via Bridges, Bug, Goalkeeper etc.
The song became newly popular in Ukraine in the late 1960s through the 1965 rendition of the song by Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk as used in the soundtrack of Sergei Parajanov's film in Ukrainian Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.
