Songs about the Khmelnytsky uprising, part 5: Пісня про козака Нечая

It’s been a long time since I added something to this collection, but a movie I’ve rewatched recently (Богдан Зиновій Хмельницький from 2006) reminded me that I can’t just ignore the song about one of the most popular participants of the Khmelnytsky uprising here.

The song about the Bratslav polkovnyk Danylo Nechai comes with many names and even more versions of the lyrics. A lot of these versions, especially the shorter ones, are nearly incomprehensible without context – only if one knows the events they refer to and/or has heard a longer version before, do they start to make sense. The most comprehensive and at the same time chronologically logical (and not too repetitive) version of the lyrics I’ve found might be this one.

To quickly sum them up in English: Nechai and his Cossacks come to a place where they are warned to flee, but Nechai, in a mixture of pride and carelessness, doesn’t heed the warning and goes to a relative to eat fish (or, in many other versions: to get drunk). There is a Polish surprise attack – and no guard – and the Cossacks defend themselves bravely, killing many of their opponents, but are hopelessly outnumbered. Nechai gets killed and is buried, and the comrades burying him plant viburnum (the famous червона калина of another folk song) on his grave, so that his fame and glory shall be remembered in all Ukraine.

What I’ve not found, unfortunately, is a recording using the lyrics exactly like this or at least somewhat close to it. The first recording I’ve included above – by Михайло Коваль ( Mychailo Koval) – already uses comparatively many of its stanzas, but even comparatively many is not that many at all, and the ending is surprisingly abrupt.

However, even though I was frustrated at first by the uncommonness of longer version telling all or at least most of the story, the question what the shorter versions actually choose to tell (and what they choose to leave out!) soon became interesting in itself.

Some can be so short and fragmentary that the lyrics become completely subordinate to the musical performance.

For example, all that is left of the story in this beautiful version by  Дике Поле is the initial warning, Nechai’s refusal to listen to it, and then a short conversation where Nechai asks his godmother if he should unsaddle his horse, to which she replies that she won’t be able to protect him, so he better shouldn’t. And still, even in this rudimentary form the lyrics contain an element that’s both remarkable and quite common in shorter versions of the song: the relative Nechai visits and gets drunk with is explicitly identified as his godmother Khmelnytska – in all probability meaning the hetman’s wife, who, at the time, would have been the famous former Helena Czaplińska. So, according to these songs, Khmelnytsky’s wife is mysteriously present at the place where Nechai gets ambushed and killed – he even gets ambushed and killed while getting drunk with her – but she herself somehow gets safely out of the situation without the songs ever explaining how or just mentioning her again.

I don’t know if it’s the strangeness of these events that gave rise to an interpretation I stumbled upon while looking for different versions of the lyrics: namely that mentioning Khmelnytska in this context is an allusion to a rumour that Khmelnytsky himself, envying Nechai’s popularity and wanting to get rid of a rival, had something to do with Nechai’s death.

How plausible it is – both the rumour and the interpretation of the song – I can’t tell. It has to be mentioned, however, that in none of the versions I’ve come across does Khmelnytska encourage Nechai to get drunk; she just doesn’t stop him when he comes to her to do so. Nor does she convince him to be careless. Quite to the contrary: when he asks her if he should unsaddle his horse, she always advises against it. Can her explanation for advising caution – that she can’t protect him – somehow be interpreted to mean that the hetman might have been responsible for Nechai’s death not in the sense of direct involvement, but negligence and lack of military support? That is probably a question of imagination. Is it something a clever songwriter could come up with who both wants to get his message across and not risk his head? Sure. Is it a likely explanation? I don’t know...

Whatever one prefers to believe, there’s versions that are only slightly longer but add some different nuances of meaning to the story. A very interesting one for what it does with the text is this one by Сашко (Олександр Власюк):

After the same fragment of the story that also the version by Дике Поле uses, it simply repeats the initial warning, emphatically, several times, completely changing the atmosphere of the song. The audience knows, of course, that the story is supposed to end with Nechai’s death. But this performance treats the events as if they were still happening at the moment – Nechai’s fate not decided yet – as if the warning could still reach him.

In a similar way, a version by Гуляйгород ends with Nechai becoming aware of the attack and getting ready to disperse the enemy – without mentioning the fatal outcome. It almost seems like it wants to spare the audience the part about the beloved hero’s death or, maybe more probable and more in line with what other songs about the Khmelnytsky uprising do, like it wants to talk not only of the past by showing the battle against the enemy as something that is still going on and can still be won.

Though most shorter versions decide to omit Nechai’s actual death, I also want to include one that goes the exact opposite way:

This performance by Taras Sylenko (Тарас Силенко) leaves out the whole drinking and carelessness, mentioning his pride in his Cossack fame as Nechai’s only reason for refusing to flee, and then immediately proceeds to the battle, putting all emphasise on his fighting, death and burial – and especially the fame that will survive him.

Like for the song about Morozenko, there’s also an episode of the podcast by Pavlo Nechitailo (Павло Нечитайло) and Taras Kompanichenko (Тарас Компаніченко) dedicated to the songs about Nechai – as always, I’m too helpless without written text to make use of it, but I’m linking it for anyone who might be interested:

Я україночка

Я україночка. Хоч зовсім ще маленька, Але ходжу до школи в перший клас! Читати я навчилася легенько, Бо дуже гарна рідна мова в нас.

Це українська мова промениста, Доступна й лагідна, весела і дзвінка. Багата, як земля, джерельно-чиста І тепла, наче мамина рука.

Я вчуся нею гарно розмовляти, Читаю вірші і пишу слова. Бо рідну мову треба добре знати. Вона чудова, ніжна і жива.

Вона дзвенить у срібному джерельці, У дивних квітах, у дзвінкій росі. Вона живе й співа в моєму серці. Її ми дуже любимо усі.

Моя чарівна мова промениста, Вона у пісні й казочці звучить. Найкраща в світі рідна і барвиста, А як без неї на Землі прожить?

В нас, українців, — українська мова! В ній найсвітліші, лагідні слова. Й матусі ніжна пісня колискова, Як сонечко нас щедро зігріва.
