Selected songs
Lyrics by Vadym Kryshchenko:
And it's already autumn
Don't tell me about winter
Blessed Kyiv...
Because you are alone
Cherry, cherry, cherry
Lilacs are blooming
Anthem of the National Academy of Sciences
Holosiivska Zorya
Holosiivskyi waltz
Golubochok
Hutsulshchyna
Bells of the Lavra
I'll come home
Woman with blue eyes
Take me away from loneliness
I invite you to a holiday
A laborer
A violin was playing
Kyiv and the people of Kyiv
Honey night (The night of the enchantress)
A prayer for a Cossack (in memory of Raisa Kirichenko)
On the shore
Don't leave me
I'm falling
In the rain
Forgive us, Lord - have mercy
The river of life
The Little Mermaid (Where the shore breaks the wave...)
The old actor
Your silhouette
I need you forever
I'll tell you only
Poplar blizzard
In a flash of dahlias
Ukraine, remember your heroes
Let it be so
Red rose hips
Bird cherry (You won't guess, you won't know)
A boat
Not love yet
I'm a proud woman
I want to be happy
On the words of other poets:
And I am only there... (N. Divil)
Ballad about Rohatyn (M. Okrenkyi)
Wedding for my daughter (V. Saviuk)

Dear girl, goodbye (unknown)
