Answer 2

The answer is a) русальна пісня (a mermaid song). The quoted lines are from a Ukrainian folk song called "Проведу я русалочки до бору" (I will lead the mermaids to the forest), which is a part of the summer cycle of songs . These songs are performed during the week after Pentecost, when people believe that the mermaids (water nymphs) come out of the water and wander in the fields and forests. The song is a farewell to the mermaids, asking them not to harm the crops or the girls, because they are both precious and beautiful. The song also expresses the hope of returning home safely after the encounter with the mermaids.
