Текст песни Квітка Цисик - Ой ходить сон коло вікон

Oh go sleep Kolo vіkon ,
A drіmota - Kolo raft.
Pitaєtsya sleep drіmoti :
- And De going nochuvati ?

- De hatonka teplesenka ,
- De Dytyna malesenka -
Tudi pіdem nochuvati ,
i Dytyna kolisati .

Oh, a cat that vorkota ,
On the one Dytyna drіmota .
Kotick vorkotati Buda ,
Ditinonka Buda sleep.

It is believed that George Gershwin heard this song in New York by the Ukrainian National Choir under the baton of Alexander Kosice and took her motive for foundation & quot; Summertime & quot; (& quot; Porgy and Bess & quot ;, 1935) .
