Verbovaya Doshchechka
The Willow Board (Ukrainian: Вербова дощечка, romanized: Verbova doshchechka) is a Ukrainian folk song that is traditionally sang during an ancient traditional Ukrainian spring game called the Willow Board (Ukrainian: Вербова дощечка, romanized: Verbova Doshchechka) also known under many other alternative Ukrainin names such as Noise (Ukrainian: Шум, romanized: Shum), via Bridges (Ukrainian: Мостами, romanized: Mostamy), Bug (Ukrainian: Жук, romanized: Zhuk or Ukrainian: Жучок, romanized: Zhuchok), Goalkeeper (Ukrainian: Воротар, romanized: Vorotar) etc.[1][2]
The song became newly popular in Ukraine in late 1960-s through the popularization of the 1965 rendition of the song by Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk as used in the soundtrack of 1965 Ukrainina film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.
