about
I’ve always been proud of my Ukrainian roots, and enjoy putting on my Vyshyvanka (Ukrainian Shirt) and singing a Ukrainian tune. Last Christmas my cousin said, “Travis, you should write a Ukrainian Christmas Song.” I started to sing about “Pyrohy (Perohe) and Borscht” and the words were so catchy that everyone started to sing along.
.50 cents from every download will go to support the Ukraine Humanitarian Aid fund, through the Canada Ukraine Foundation or you have the option to give a larger donation if you would like. Amounts over $2 will go directly to the fund.
Thank you for helping me raise funds for this truly important cause.
lyrics
PYROHY & BORSCHT
(Baba’s Christmas Carol)
(WORDS AND MUSIC BY TRAVIS DOLTER)
Pyrohy, pyrohy, pyrohy and borscht
Holopchi, nalesnaky
All through Baba’s door, Hey!
Pyrohy, pyrohy, pyrohy and borscht
So much garlic, oh Baba, I can’t eat no more
I went to Baba’s house, to shovel off her roof
It snowed 3 feet last night, it’s fillin’ up my boots
As soon as she saw me, I was through the door
Had Nachinka and Vodka, I could not drive no more
Chorus
The plates kept coming out, koobasa I had 3 rings
Every time I thought that’s all, out came 2 more things
Feels like Hotel California, If I don’t leave here soon
I’ll start to look like Gido, who’s never dropped his spoon
Farm raised in the Alberta prairies, Travis’ emphasis as an artist is to focus on the positives in life. Travis is a witty
songwriter & storyteller with the ability to paint a picture with words. He knows just how to take his audience on a musical journey through the course of a performance.
