Ty zh mene pidmanula

Ty Zh Mene Pidmanula or Pidmanula, Pidvela is a popular humorous Ukrainian folk song. The name literally translates as "you tricked me and let me down".

There are many different variations of the song, but all have pretty much the same format. Traditionally, it is about a man complaining to his girlfriend because she tells him she will meet him somewhere on each day of the week. Each day, the person shows up and his girlfriend does not.

The tune is adopted from another famous Ukrainian song, "Yikhav Kozak za Dunaj".

You have told me that on Monday
We'll gather periwinkles together
I've come, and there you aren't,
You tricked me and let me down

You tricked me,
You let me down,
You're making me, a young man,
Lose my mind.

You will kiss me forty times
I've come, and there you aren't,
You tricked me and let me down
