The Magic Violin

The Magic Violin (Ukrainian: «Чарівна Скрипка», romanized: Charivna skrypka) is a folkloric song of Ukraine, also known for the first line in Ukrainian: "Сіла птаха", lit. '"A Bird sat down"'. The song was composed in 1971 by Ihor Poklad to lyrics by the poet Yuriy Rybchynskyi.

Both met during their duty in the army in 1968, and together wrote musical hits like "Two Wings", "The Magic Violin", "Still Waters", "Wild Geese", "Is it Possible?", and many others. From 1973, Poklad composed for the Theater, including the composition of operettas. Rybchynskyi, whose mother also wrote poetry, has dedicated his life to the study of Ukrainian folklore. Both received many national honours.
