about

"The Young Woman was Given Away" tells of a Russian bride's first encounter with her new in-laws. They did not get off to a great start.

lyrics

Otdavali molodu na chuzhuyu storonu - Oi kalina, oi malina
A young woman was given away [married off] to a strange [unfamiliar] place - Oh snowball tree, oh raspberry

Na chuzhuyu storonu, vo chuzhuyu dyeryevu - Oi kalina, oi malina
To a strange place, to a strange village - Oh ...

Vo chuzhuyu dyeryevu, vo bol'shuyu cyemyu - Oi kalina, oi malina
To a strange village, to a large family

Kak vo izbu to vidut prigovarivayut - Oi kalina, oi malina
As soon as she arrived in the cottage, they began to condemn her

Kak svyekrovka govorit, "Nyerabotnitsu vidut" - Oi kalina, oi malina
So says the mother-in-law: "Here comes a lazy one"

Kak i svyokor govorit, "Nyeugodnitsu vidut" - Oi kalina, oi malina
So says the father-in-law: "Here comes a contrary one"

Kak i tyotki govoryat, "Nyeprovyednitsu vidut" - Oi kalina, oi malina
So say the aunties: "Here comes an ill-fated one"

she is also in possession of a voice of gentle strength that adapts well to suit various vocal styling."
-Rock 'n' Reel Magazine

A tapestry of melodic and lyrical textures blend cross-cultural influences, with powerful vocals, five-string violin/viola, ocarina, cittern, clarseach, hurdy gurdy... ... more
