Слова і мелодія: може Євген Садовський

Приспів:

Гей-гей, гей-гей,

Гей-гей, гей-ге-е-е-е-ей,

Гей-гей, гей-гей,

Де гори Карпати,

Де Писаний Камінь,

Туман по долині пливе.

Тебе, рідний краю,

До болю кохаю,

Навік полонив ти мене. (2)

Приспів.

Такому коханню,

В житті не зів'яти,

А в серці завжди зберегти.

В Карпати, в Карпати,

В далекі Карпати

Лети, моя пісне, лети. (2)

Приспів.

Лети в Чорногору,

В її полонини,

Спочинь на ялиці стрункій,

Вдар громом об скелю,

Котись по долині,

Верхами неси гомін мій. (2)

Приспів.

Варіянт

Де синії гори

Історія

This song is usually attested to Євген Садовський. Marko Farion, who knew Садовський, insists that Садовський likely did not compose it as (1) Farion's mother recalled hearing this song in the Писаний Камінь region prior to WWII and (2) Садовський never composed anything else. However, the claim that Садовський never composed anything else is contradicted by a 1967 Congressional Record (page 34306) that he wrote a song called "My Ukraine" as well as a 2010 museum archive referring to him as a "legendary composer".

Садовський's own book "Українські Пісні (1990)" gives the following credits for this song on page 97:

Слова запозичені
Муз.Е.О.Садовський

While that might seem to put the melody's authorship to rest, unfortunately Sadowsky regularly credited himself as the music's author for musical arrangements, not just original compositions. For example, he credits the music to "Свята Ніч" (page 108) to himself as well, when that was very clearly not composed by him, but rather Franz Xaver Gruber.

Садовський is also credited in the following places:

Plast spivanyk В Дорогу (2nd edition, 1987)
Back cover of the "Sounds of Kalyna" LP (1981)
http://ukrweekly.com/archive/pdf3/1989/The_Ukrainian_Weekly_1989-22.pdf (page 10). This is not 100% definitely the same song but probably is: "Also to be performed: 'The Carpathian Mountains': by Cleveland composer Eugene Sadowsky"

Some other songs with similar melodies - the order of inspiration is quite unknown:

- Melody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJXwn0CT7Uo
- Apparently from 1914 (source: https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Прощався_стрілець)
- A better source can be found for 1920 ( source: https://nashe.com.ua/song/16716 ), which in turn references архів Проблемна науково-дослідна лабораторія музичної етнології (PDF needed)
