A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
About "Ty Zh Mene Pidmanula (You Deceived Me)"
From The Ukrainians' 'Respublika' album (2002), Zirka Records ZRKCD3.
A humorous traditional Ukrainian folk song about a man complaining to his girlfriend because she tells him she will meet him somewhere on each day of the week but she never turns up.

Ty kazala v ponedilok
pidem razom po barvinok
Ya pryishov tebe nema,
Pidmanula, pidvela.
Chorus:
Ty zh mene pidmanula,
Ty zh mene pidvela,
Ty zh mene molodoho
Z uma-rozumu zvela.

Ty kazala u vivtorok
Potsiluyesh raziv sorok
Ya pryishov tebe nema,
Pidmanula, pidvela.
(chorus)

Ty kazala u seredu
Pidem razom po cheredu
Ya pryishov tebe nema,
Pidmanula, pidvela.
(chorus)

Ty kazala u chetver
Pidem razom po shchavel'
Ya pryishov tebe nema,
Pidmanula, pidvela.

which roughly translates as:

You told me that on Monday
We'd gather periwinkles together
I've come, and you aren't there
You tricked me and let me down
Chorus:
You tricked me,
You let me down,
You're making me, a young man,
Lose my mind.

You told me that on Tuesday
You would kiss me forty times
I've come, and you aren't there
You tricked me and let me down
(chorus)

You told me that on Wednesday
We would rustle up the cattle together
I've come, and you aren't there
You tricked me and let me down
(chorus)

You told me that on Thursday
We'd go for sorrel together
I've come, and you aren't there
You tricked me and let me down
