Scottish Violinist Plays Ukrainian Anthem (Beautiful)

[msfiddlestix]

My Scottish fiddler friends will be performing this piece at the Berkeley Farmers Market this afternoon inspired by Paul Anderson's playing and his tribute to Ukraine (along with harsh words for Putin)

3. I won't be joining them, I'm committed to a music session this afternoon at my digs

but probably someone will (no doubt) and likely post to facebook (San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers) I expect.

can't say for sure... but I'll post a link if I get one..

11. Haven't had time to check for any uploaded vids, but I did get a transcript

of the sheet music transposed to the key of Dm, which I'm going to give a swing at it sometime this afternoon.

I'll look around for vids of the farmers market gig between this and the other thing that I need to tend to..

2. Ukrainian Anthem in English Cossack blood will raise the nation of the joyous people.

Glorious spirit of Ukraine shines and lives forever.
Blessed by Fortune brotherhood will stand up together.

Like the dew before the sun enemies will fade,
We will further rule and prosper in our promised land.

We will lay our soul and body for the cherished freedom.
Cossack blood will raise the nation of the joyous people.

For the liberty the folk strives ardently from San to Don,
And will let no alien power in our common home.

Aged Dnieper and Black Sea arm in arm rejoice,
And Ukraine will see daylight and live by Fortune’s choice.

We will lay our soul and body for the cherished freedom.
Cossack blood will raise the nation of the joyous people.

Passion and hard-working hands prove bright future true.
Song of freedom, loud and clear, guides us all way through.

Over mountains and steppes it flows, over ages told.
Valorous Ukraine stands strong in a thriving world.

We will lay our soul and body for the cherished freedom.
Cossack blood will raise the nation of the joyous people.
