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