The song "Play for me old Gypsi" was taken by Navka from books about Bukovynian folklore. The authorship of the song is often attributed to Sidor Vorobkevych, but according to available information, he actually once (like Navka now) traveled through the lands of Bukovina, part of which belonged to the Romanian kingdom, and collected and processed folklore, namely this song is a song of the people of Bukovina. Also, according to another interpretation, the author of the original version of "Să-mi cânţi cobzar bătrân" is a Romanian poet, Mr. George Cosbuc, and according to Romanian sources, Sidir Vorobkevych translated the work into Ukrainian. It is difficult to find out for sure, because now the people of Bukovyna consider it folklore and sing it as a folk song. Navka modernized the music of this song and shot a video for it as part of her author's project "Ukraine in Songs"
The idea of ​​the clip is a life-affirming position: no matter how old you are, life goes on and there is a lot of interesting things ahead. The clip uses sand animation as memories of the heroine's full life, she was played by NAVKA herself, who was turned into a grandmother with the help of make-up.
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.

Ukrainian folk song «Заграй ми цигане старий»
==-=-==
Lyric (Ukrainian):
==-=-==
Заграй ми, цигане старий
Такої як гадаю
І грошей ти дам, вина ти дам
І всього, що лиш маю
І грошей ти дам, вина ти дам
Бо лютий біль горить зосьтут
І груди розпирає
А серце мліє і болить
Що гину, умираю
А серце мліє і болить
Що гину, умираю
Заграй, старий, ось тую піснь
Що то колись співала
Старая ненька, як мене
В колисці колисала
В колисці колисала
Заграй, старий, хай потечуть
Дві сльози по личеньку
То легше стане на душі
І легше на серденьку
То легше стане на душі
І легше на серденьку
