Shchedryk
Shchedryk shchedryk shchedrivochka *
a little swallow flew
began twittering
calling the master
"come out, come out, master,
look on the shelter to sheep,
sheep have yeaned
lambs were born
you have all the good commodity
you will have a lot of money
but money is nothing,
cause you have a wife with black brows" **
Shchedryk shchedryk shchedrivochka *
a little swallow flew
------------------------------------
* the custom in Ukrainian celebration of New Year, when girls visit houses, praise masters in songs (shchedrivochka) and get gifts for it.
Still practising today
** the main feature of beauty in Ukraine

It is already popular in the world, because it is popular in the US. But unfortunately with other words.
I appreciate that you made this translation and the explanation, concerning the "Carol of Bells" :)

yes, girls sang the new year songs, the boys sang the christmas carols, both going from house to house
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Σταθείτε με την Ουκρανία!
