Hristos Voskrese, voistsino voskrese; kalinka kalinka kalinka moya.
> Not a clue what it means. First word "christ" maybe?
This is what the chorus sings in that wildly popular Russian folk tune,
'kalinka, malinka,' which accompanies a dance I've seen Walter perform
many times. Actually the chorus doesn't really sing all of it: 'hristos'
means 'chorus.' and indicates who sings what.

If Walter had a better explanation, I would be faint with anticipation.
