Translation: There is freedom in the world, but who knows it? There is fortune out there, but who owns it? There are people out there, who shine in gold and silver They seem to rule, yet freedom they don't have No freedom, no fortune, just misery and boredom They wear the fur coat, but are ashamed to cry You take your gold and silver, and may you be wealthy I will choose my tears, to pour out the sorrow I will drown all captivity in my little tears, I will stomp on misfortune with my naked feet For I am happy, For I am wealthy As my heart walks in freedom

Марино-Марино, чого ходиш-блудиш. Та й навєрно, Марино, сина мого любиш. Як би не любила, то б я ж не ходила. Да я за твоїм сином Дунай-рєчку брела. Перебрела рєчку, не замочилася, Да я на твого сина не надивилася. Василь сіно косить, Марина приходить, Ой Марина приходить, сина приносить. Василю-Василю, возьми свою дитину, А не візьмеш дитину, я під косу кину. Не кидай, Марино, боронь тебе боже, Заколиши дитину, Бог тобі поможе. ----- Maryna, Why do you dwell-walk Perhaps, Maryno, You’re in love with my son If I didn’t love him, I wouldn’t dwell I would tread waters for your son I swam across the river, Didn’t even get soaked Yet, I still cannot look away from your son Vasyl is working the field, Maryna comes She brings her baby Vasyl, take your baby And if you don’t, I will throw it under the sickle Don’t throw, Maryno, May god be with you Cradle your baby, God will help you

about

DoVira [do-VEE-ruh] is a Canadian world fusion group that integrates Ukrainian and Eastern European folk music with contemporary arrangements, electronic textures, and other music influences from around the World.

Fronted by Ukrainian-born pianist/vocalist/composer Nastasia Y (formerly Stacey Yerofeyeva), the group also features drummer/percussionist Derek Gray from Ventanas, guitarist Patrick O’Reilly from D’bi & the 333, bassist Mark Rynkun, and Mike Romaniak from Lemon Bucket Orkestra; a pioneer in integrating the sopilka (a traditional Ukrainian flute-like instrument) with guitar pedals & effects.

DoVira, whose name translates to 'trust' in Ukrainian, released their first EP ’Obrys' (or 'Outline') in 2014. The EP featured re-mastered versions of such successful singles as 'Yihav Kozak Mistom', featuring the Sudanese multi-instrumentalist Waleed Abdulhamid (celebrating over 15K+ views on YouTube).

DoVira presented their their debut full-length album, self-titled as ‘DoVira’ on November 25th, 2016 at the Burdock Music Hall in Toronto. Recorded at Canterbury Music Company in Toronto, the album features nine guest artists, including Juno-award winning tabla virtuoso Ed Hanley (Autorickshaw), woodwind master Ernie Tollar (Tasa), Georgian polyphony specialist Andrea Kuzmich (Darbazi, ZARI), and Slavic white-voice singer Anastasia Baczynskyj (Lemon Bucket Orkestra).

The album singles out the Ukrainian folk melody as the point of departure for a musical treasure hunt within tradition. By putting a contemporary spin on well-known folk songs, while researching and reviving forgotten material, DoVira hopes to showcases the beauty and richness of this music to broad audiences. By collaborating with artists of different backgrounds, including Indian, Polish, Georgian, and French-Canadian musicians, the project has an even greater philosophy. With the events going on in the world today, negativity and hate is increasing between brothers, sisters, and the closest of neighbours. DoVira aims to spread awareness about Ukraine's current struggle to keep its culture alive, while promoting a universal message of trust and a 'unified planet' through their music. DoVira’s music isn’t meant to be catering to a specific community or demographic – it is true contemporary 'world' music.
