Lithuanian folk song originating from Dzūkija region. This version was inspired by traditional sources. Performed by: Daugailė Glinskienė. Recorded by: Eglė Girskaitė Recorded in: Piliuona, Lithuania, 2023 --- This channel documents how Lithuanian folk songs are performed by contemporary singers today. Many of these songs were learned through oral tradition — passed down by family, local communities, or other singers. While some performances reflect traditional styles, others may include personal interpretation. This project does not aim to reconstruct historical authenticity, but to archive how these songs live and evolve now. --- LYRICS: Kas buvo girioj pamigįs, Šilvoji raselė, kalėda?
