    A Celtic-like interpretation of an old carol from Eastern Ukraine. The key character is an exotic peacock who drops his glorious feathers one at a time while a young girl gathers them, weaves a wreath and begins to dance.
    CD: Paris to Kyiv - Prairie Nights and Peacock Feathers   Label: Olesia Records
    Credits: Arranged by Alexis Kochan with Martin Colledge, Richard Moody and Nenad Zdjelar. Translated from the Ukrainian by Virlana Tkacz and Wanda Phipps.

    Story Behind the Song
    Alexis Kochan and her Paris to Kyiv ensemble have been exploring the
    creative possibilities that are found where traditional music meets the modern world and where the global meets the culturally specific.

    Lyrics
    In the woods, in the forest
    On yellow clay
    Oh, hallowed eve!
    A peacock struts
    Dropping its feathers
    Oh, hallowed eve!

    The girl Marie
    Follows after
    Oh, hallowed eve!
    Gather the feathers,
    And hides them in here sleeve
    Oh, hallowed eve!
    Takes them from here sleeve
    And lays them on a chair
    Oh, hallowed eve!

    Takes them from the chair
    And braids them into a wreath
    Oh, hallowed eve!
    She puts on here wreath
    And steps out to dance
    Oh, hallowed eve!
