It is sung on the celebration of the solstice, called Kupalle. The archaic text of the song contains traditional mythological images - Kupalka, Saint Ilya and a witch, from whom people need to protect wheat and cows, because she is able to spoil wheat and take milk from cows on midsummer night. Išła Kupałka pa vulicy Prasić Illišču na ihryšča. Nie pajdu ja, Kupałačka, Nie pajdu ja - ciomna noč. Budu žyta pilnavaci, Kab viedźma nie załamała. U karoŭ małaka nie zabirała. A ŭ karoŭki kruty rožki, Da j vykali viedźmie vočy.
