NAVKA singer took on the task of reviving old, and sometimes forgotten, folk songs and launched an all-Ukrainian project "Ukraine in Songs": 13 weeks, 13 Ukrainian folk songs that you can hear in a new way and 13 clips from the most charming places of Ukraine. This is the first project in Ukraine that will not only revive Ukrainian folk songs, but also show Ukrainians the most beautiful parts of Ukraine.
The song belongs to the historical genre, about the times when Turks and Tatars invaded our country. This song has not been studied by historians and folklorists, so it is possible that it is one of the oldest known historical songs.
The location where the video was shot is Oleshkiv Sands in the Kherson region, the actor for the role of a Turk was a real Turk who came to Kyiv from the city of Izmir.
The story of this mini-film is as follows: a Turk takes his sisters to his homeland, leads them through the sands and thorns. One girl completely opposes this and is not subject to it, as long as she sees a completely different world in her eyes, she left her lover and did not even say goodbye to him. Another sister, who has a more strong-willed character, knows that she can not only survive, but also find some advantages, discover something new, create a story even abroad, she does not mind going with a Turk.

Ukrainian folk song «Чи ви, люди, спите спите»
==-=-==
Lyric (Ukrainian):
==-=-==
Чи ви, люди, спите спите
Чи ви люди не чуєте
Турки село обграбували
Та дві рідні сестри вкрали
Самі їдуть кониками
А їх ведуть тернинками
Самі їдуть кониками
А їх ведуть тернинками
Терня в ноги дуже колить
Ніхто й слова не промовить
Терня в ноги дуже колить
Ніхто й слова не промовить
Проси, сестро, турка свого
Та най дасть ножа острого
Проси, сестро, турка свого
Най ножа дасть
Най рубаю русу косу
Та най кину ї‘ на фосу
Най рубаю русу косу
Та най кину ї‘ на фосу
Прийде мати воду брати
Стане коси впізнавати
Прийшла мати воду брати
Стала коси впізнавати
Де ж ви, доньки, шлюбок брали,
Що вам коси повтинали?
Де ж ви, доньки, шлюбок брали
Що вам коси повтинали?
Під явором зелененьким
З татарином молоденьким
Під явором зелененьким
З татарином молоденьким
Там, мамко, шлюбок брали,
Там коси повтинали
Там, мамко, мамко,
Коси повтинали
Там, мамко, шлюбок брали,
Там коси повтинали
Там, мамко, мамко,
Коси повтинали
Коси повтина...
