    Theres a song called "Hey theres the village!" I can't seem to find anything about this song, only the video. So theres no Russian lyrics I can write down. I am really interested to know what the band is saying in the song, with all the laughing and stuff.

    This song is Ukrainian one, here's original text:

    Ой видно село, широке село під горою,
    Ой там їдут стрільці, січовії стрільці до бою.
    Їдуть вони, їдуть крізь широке поле,
    Хлопці ж бо то хлопці, як соколи.

    Приспів:
    Ха-ха, ха-ха, ха-ха-ха-ха-ха-ха, гей!
    Дівчино-рибчино, чорнобривко моя,
    Вийди, вийди подивися чим скоріше до вікна,
    Хлопці ж бо то хлопці, як соколи.

    Ой видно село, широке село під горою,
    Ой там їдуть стрільці, січовії стрільці до бою.
    А на Україні там степи широкі,
    Дівчата хороші, чорноокі.

    Ой видно село, широке село під горою,
    Ой там їдут стрільці, січовії стрільці до бою.
    А хто піде з нами, буде славу мати,
    Ми йдем за Вкраїну воювати.


    And here's approx. translation:

    Oh, a village is seen at the foot of the hill, wide village,
    Oh, archers are going there, archers from Sich, to a battle (*Sich is Ukrainian battle union of mid-ages)
    Go they, go through a wide field,
    'Cause boys are that boys like falcons

    CHORUS:
    Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, hey
    Girl-fish, my black-browed (* girl-fish is an idiom for a harmonious and agile girl)
    Come one, haste to look out
    'Cause boys are that boys like falcons

    Oh, a village is seen at the foot of the hill, wide village,
    Oh, archers are going there, archers from Sich, to a battle
    And here in Ukraine steppes are wide,
    Girls are good and black-eyed

    Oh, a village is seen at the foot of the hill, wide village,
    Oh, archers are going there, archers from Sich, to a battle
    And who goes with us, will gain a fame
    We go to battle for Ukraine

    (There are some different variations of a text, but common meaning is clear enough)
