Pidmanula, pidvela

[octavius]

Could someone, please, help me find the words in English to this song: Pidmanula, pidvela. My daughter loves it and looks to me - a non-Ukranian speaker - to tell her what it's all about! Many thanks if you can help, Octavius.

[Ivan_Mazepa]

In this joking song the guy complains to his girl that every time they make plans to meet she doesn't show up, she's fooling him. (Translation is mine, perhaps you may find nice poetic ones out there. )

Ty kazala v ponedilok,
pidem razom po barvinok.
Ya pryishov - tebe nema
Pidmanula, pidvela.

Chorus:
Ty zh mene pidmanula, ty zh mene pidvela
Ty zh mene molodoho z uma-rozuma zvela.

(You said that on Monday,
We'll go together for flowers,
I came, you weren't there,
You tricked me and let me down.

You tricked me, you let me down
You're making me, a young lad, go crazy.)

Ty kazala u vivtorok,
potsiluyesh raziv sorok.
Ya pryishov- tebe nema
Pidmanula, pidvela.

(Chorus)

(You said on Tuesday
That you will kiss me 40 times.
I came, you weren't there
You tricked me and let me down.)

Ty kazala u seredu
Pidem razom po cheredu
Ya pryishov- tebe nema
Pidmanula, pidvela.

(Chorus)

(You said on Wednesday
We'll go together with the flock*
I came, you weren't there
You tricked me and let me down.)

(*hard to translate "chereda". Chereda is a group/flock of cows or other farm animals, usually of the whole village, that are taken to the posture.)

Ty kazala u chetver
Pidem razom na concert
Ya pryishov, tebe nema
Pidmanula, pidvela

(Chorus)

(You said on Thursday
We'll go together to a concert
I came, you weren't there
You tricked me and let me down)

Ty kazala u piatnyciu
Pidem my na vechornytsi
Ya pryishov, tebe nema
Pidmanula, pidvela

(Chorus)

(You said on Friday
We'll go together to a party,
I came,... )

Ty kazala u subotu
Pidem razom na robotu
Ya pryishov, tebe nema
Pidmanula, pidvela

(Chorus)

(You said on Saturday
We'll go to work together
I came,...)

Ty kazala u nediliu
Pidem razom na vesilia
Ya pryishov, tebe nema
Pidmanula, pidvela.

(Chorus)

(You said on Sunday
We'll go together to a wedding.
I came, ...

There popular additional verses to this song, for example:

Ty kazala shcho pomresh,
ya prynis dubovyi khrest
Ya pryishov- a ty zhyva,
pidmanula, pidvela.

(You said that you were going to die,
and I brought a (nice) oak cross,
I came- and you're alive
You tricked me and let me down. )

or another

Spliu, spliu, meni snytsia
kolo mene molodytsia
Maz, maz- yiyi nema
Pidmanula, pidvela.

(I'm sleeping, and I dream
that there's a girl near me.
I try to reach for her- but she's not there.
Oh, you tricked me, ...)
