The Willow Board (uk|Вербова дощечка|Verbova doshchechka) is a Ukrainian folk song that is traditionally sung during an ancient traditional Ukrainian spring game called the Willow Board (uk|Вербова дощечка|Verbova Doshchechka) also known under many other alternative Ukrainian names such as Noise (uk|Шум|Shum), via Bridges (uk|Мостами|Mostamy), Bug (uk|Жук|Zhuk or uk|Жучок|Zhuchok), Goalkeeper (uk|Воротар|Vorotar) etc.[1] [2]
The song became newly popular in Ukraine in the late 1960s through the 1965 rendition of the song by Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk as used in the soundtrack of Sergei Parajanov's film in Ukrainian Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.
