"If you ever come near my daughter again..." "Or even stand under her window..." "Look out, Petro, and God save you!" "Papa!" "Don't beat Petro." "You'll lose those black whiskers of yours!" "Or I am not Terentiy Korzh." "Welcome!" "God be with you, Mr. Korzh." "I have business with you." "It's obvious why." "Because of my black-eyed daughter." "For love I consent." "You have my blessings." "I give you my daughter." "Basavryuk!" "Hey everyone!" "Basavryuk is here!" " Hey!" "Pour the priest a whiskey!" " You antichrists will burn." "You still preaching?" "Alright, then, let's lift him onto the pulpit." "Christians!" "People!" "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "Mykola." "Petro." "Nechipor..." "You boys will all burn..." "You'll be dancing in hell!" " Let's drag him up the pear-tree." " Gentlemen!" "Come to your senses." "Grab him!" "Grab him!" "No, please, please, I won't make it." "I'm too feeble." "Oh!" "Holy Blessed Virgin, have mercy on us!" "Oh me, oh my!" "I'm going, I'm going!" "Start cuckooing, Holy Father, and I'll go hunting after you." "God sees all, Basavryuk." "I will lay a church penance on you." "You stir up trouble." "You never go to Holy Mass." "Look, Father, improve your cuckoo and mind your business..." "If you don't want that goatish gullet pasted up with hot porridge." "Whoever associates with Basavryuk will be considered a Catholic..." "And an enemy of the Christian Church and the whole human race." "Ivas my darling." "Ivas my precious." "Run to Petro, my sweet baby, run like an arrow in flight." "Tell him everything." "How I'd kiss his hazel eyes and stroke his sweet face..." "If it were only my fate." "My tears have soaked more than one pillow." "I am so sad, and my heart is heavy." "My own father has become my enemy." "Forcing me to marry someone I do not love." "Tell him a wedding is being arranged." "Only there won't be any musicians." "Instead of reed-pipes and kobzas." "we'll have deacons." "I won't dance with my beloved." "They'll have to carry me." "My house of maple will be dark and gloomy..." "And on the roof, instead of a chimney, a cross shall stand." "But I was thinking... poor wretch that I am, of seizing some gold in Crimea..." "And bringing the goods back to you, my angel." "But no!" "An evil eye has cast a spell on us." "My love." "I will, I will have a wedding too!" "Only there will be no deacons at this wedding." "No, instead of a priest, a black raven will be screeching." "The flat plains shall be my home." "A grey cloud shall be my roof." "An eagle will peck out my eyes." "Rain will wash away my Kozak bones." "a whirlwind will dry them out." "But who am I?" "Who needs me?" "Who...will have pity on me?" "It seems God has willed..." "that I be forsaken." "Forsaken...yes." "Forsaken." "That black cloud..." "The rain is coming down..." "Oh, the poor folk have gathered there..." "To dance in the tavern." "I know..." "I know what you need." "Don't worry Kozak." "Here is what you need." "Oh, how they jingle." "How they sparkle!" "And for a whole pile of such trinkets all I ask is one favour." "Listen!" "Pay attention." "The fern blooms only on this night." "I'll be waiting for you at midnight at "Bear Ravina"." "Petro!" "As soon as the fern blooms..." "You must pluck it." "Only do not turn around." "May the powers - that - be guard you from turning around..." "No matter what happens behind you." "Look." "Any minute now a beautiful woman will appear before you." "Do everything she tells you or else you will be doomed forever." "Dig here Petro. and you'll find more gold... than you or Korzh ever dreamed of." "You will not see any gold until you draw human blood." "He slaughtered the baby!" "Killed it!" "Killed it!" "Blood!" "blood!" "The blood's on him!" "And all of this is gold?" "Yes, gold." " And it's all yours?" " Ours." " Ah, there's so much." " Three sacks." " You know, the gypsies stole Ivas." " Ivas?" "Who?" "Row smoothly my children..." "So that order and harmony will reign in the family, as they say." "Carry them, Daleper." "Don't rock them." "From where, if not from the evil one, have riches come to him, oh Lord." "And how did he come up with such a heap of gold?" "Why is it he suddenly got rich the very day Basavryuk appeared?" "Why?" "Give it back!" "Petro. what are you doing?" "You'll burn down the house." "Wait." "Giddy-up...giddy-up." "Glorious horse...glorious horse." "Giddy-up...giddy-up." "Listen..." "Tell me, which horse do you have?" "The gypsies have stolen mine." "Where are you from?" "Why have you come?" "I can't." "The gypsies have stolen my horse." "We shall drain out the fear." "It has overtaken you." "We'll see what has caused it." "Look, what's this?" "A baby?" "No..." "I forgot." " Who are you?" " I am Pidorka." "Where are you going?" "To get the tears of the Mother of God." "What for?" "To heal Petro." "I know what you want." "I can help you in your grief." "Come to me in the evening..." "or at night." "Be gone. be gone. evil one!" "Where are you going, folks?" "To shake the pear tree." "Petro got sacks of golden pears." "But there's water here." "Get us a boat!" "We're drowning!" "Don't you know where that gold came from?" "You won't get away from me." "This is not a man." "This is Satan taking on human form just to dig for treasure." "And treasure isn't given into dirty hands..." "So he entices young lads." "Go, Papa." "Mother says to come and eat." "What have you cooked up?" "Mother says "nothing"." " Any bread?" " There is none." "Never mind." "Run off or Petro might butcher you, too." "Where did Petro get the gold?" "Drown the sacks in the Dnieper." "Repent before the people." "Aha!" "You can't run from the people." "You can't run from yourself." "Darling, be calm." "It seems...it all started at the beginning..." "And then it all goes blank." "I remember..." "Sitting at the tavern." "Someone brings me whiskey..." " It burns." "It's disgusting." " Darling." "The whisky...it's bitter!" "No need to look over there." "Just keep drinking." " How's life, brother?" " Oh, I fell out of the mill." " That's too bad." " It wasn't so bad." " But why?" " I found a Kopeck." " That's good." " It wasn't so good." " But why?" " It was warped." " That's too bad." " It wasn't so bad." " But why?" " I bought some nuts." " That's good." " It wasn't so good." " But why?" " They had worms." " That's too bad." " It wasn't so bad." " But why?" " A boar ate them." " That's good." " It wasn't so good." " But why?" " A wolf ate the boar." "I remember!" "I remember!" "My darling husband." "Is that you lying there?" "Rise up, my love." "My falcon, reach out your hand." "Look up at your Pidorka just once." "Move your lips." "Utter one word at least." "Why are you so cold?" "Can't you see my tears do not burn?" "They cannot warm you." "Bury me as well!" "Bury me together with him." "Cover my eyes with the earth." "And over my pale breasts the boards of maple." "Be calm, sweet sister." "I'll call... the old sorceress." "She will drain you of your fright." "No...no." "No one can help me." "No one can dispel my grief." "Don't torment yourself, my dove." "He can be brought back." "Gather up the remains." "All that's left of him." "Take it to Kiev, to the miraculous icon of the Mother Of God." "This icon weeps... day and night." "Sprinkle him with tears... and your Petro will live again." "Yes, he will." "Don't cry." "The Mother of God is kind, with tears to spare for you." "Take the ashes to the monastery." "And beg the mother of God for her tears... to fall on Petro's body... to fall on Petro's bones... and over Petro's sinful soul." "Potyemko, why aren't they dancing the "hopak"?" "Did you forbid it?" "I know my people." "As soon as the sun rises... they are dancing and drinking whiskey." "Now it's as it should be." "The Mother of God is kind." "She has tears to spare for our grief." "Send us a miracle!" "Send us a miracle!" "Miracles!" "Miracles!" "Spill a tear!" "Spill a tear!" "Weep, most blessed Mother of God!" "Spill a tear!" "Spill a tear!" "Shed a tear!" "Cry!" "Cry!" "Give us miracles." "Miracles!" "Miracles!" "Miracles!" "Miracles!" "Here it is!" "A miracle!" "A miracle!" "End" "subtitles:" "MENiSCUS"
