Short texts of chants and barkers for Maslenitsa
Modern chants for Maslenitsa are not much different from those that were popular many years ago, and most often they are used on the last day of the celebrations, when the culminating ritual is carried out - the burning of an effigy of Maslenitsa:
1.
And we saw off Maslenitsa and often sighed heavily for it!
Oh, Maslenitsa, come back, you will reach out to the red summer!
2.
Maslyana, Maslyana, where are you going?
I lost my little shoes, whatever you want, you won’t find them!
3.
Pancake-eating Maslenitsa, the whole world is tired of it!
She deceived me, cheated her, didn’t live to see a year old!
4.
Oh, Maslenitsa, reach out and grab onto the white birch tree!
They said Maslenitsa is seven years old,
And our Maslenitsa has seven days!
Oh, Maslenitsa, you liar!
She deceived me, cheated her, didn’t let her have fun!
Maslenitsa scenario
Scenario for holding a mass folk festival. The scenario combines tradition and is complemented by competitions and competitions. The celebration will be remembered by both children and adults, with a concert program.
The holiday begins with buffoons or other “massed” characters riding around the village on sleighs. They shout barkers, inviting everyone to the party. Barkers: “White-faced, chubby-faced, red-haired maiden - come to Maslenitsa.” “The oily pancake is rolling, rolling, and it’s big - come to the fair, honest people.” “We say goodbye to winter, we say goodbye, we set fire to the effigy of winter.” “We invite everyone, everyone, everyone to test their strength, come see if you don’t believe it.”
A effigy of Winter is installed in the square where the mass celebration is held. It is made from straw and dressed in a sundress, an apron and a scarf. In addition, it is necessary to organize an ice slide for children to ride on and a couple of horses with decorated sleighs. The route must also be agreed upon in advance. It would be nice if they installed a pole on which the most valuable gifts are hung, since it is very difficult to climb onto it. And also, a fair-sale should be organized, with various baked goods, etc...Cheerful music sounds throughout the entire area. The holiday begins with two buffoons.
1 buffoon:
Come, honest people,
Come to our show.
A mischievous holiday awaits you,
To everyone's surprise!
We gathered today
Here to see off Winter.
Everyone without exception,
We invite you to a show.
2 buffoon:
- Winter is my winter,
The amiable gossip
And I love winter
That's why I praise her
It's good to ride in winter
And lie in the snowdrifts,
And everyone laughs until they're fed up
I came to object to you
No need to see off Winter!
1 buffoon:
-Are you crazy, Petrushka?
This is not a toy, after all.
We're tired of Winter,
Let Spring come now,
Let the snow melt quietly
Let the flowers bloom
Let it become brighter
Let the sun warm you up.
In general, there’s nothing to be gained here,
We must see off winter!
2 buffoon:
- No, don't! Izh what!
Campaigning for Spring!
I'll prove it to anyone
I'll show you if necessary
There is nothing more beautiful than Winter!
Over the course of many years
People definitely won't lie
Look how they sing!
(A vocal or choral group performs a song, preferably with a winter theme.)
1 buffoon:
- Well, they sing to you, so what?
The dance is also good,
Beautiful spring flowers
All the buds are blooming.
And the clearing is unrecognizable
It makes me want to dance!
You can arrange a dance flash mob, a small group from the stage performs simple dance moves and everyone joins in. For greater confidence among the people, you need to launch a prepared group, then it will be easier to recruit a large number of people.)
2 buffoon:
- Kind people, tell me?
What is Spring for?
Don't tell winter,
Otherwise there will be a snowstorm!
1 buffoon:
- Don’t scare Parsley,
Threaten and know when to stop.
We are not afraid of the cold,
If you want, let's fight!
(They begin to fight, but the forces are equal and no one wins, then they give up this matter.)
1 buffoon: Well, Parsley, everything is enough, There will be a big holiday here - Winter will meet Spring. We spend the winter with songs, Let's dance with her in a round dance! And we will greet spring with fun, and greet you with a kind word! Tell me, do you want to see this meeting?
2 buffoon: Well, then we’ll have to call Maslenitsa-Proskovea! Because only with her can you see a meeting.
1 buffoon.
Oh, oh, Maslenitsa,
Oh, and he drives into the yard.
Oh yes you are wide
Ah, he's coming into the yard...
Girls come out with the song “Maslenka”

Hello, annual Maslenitsa,
Our dear guest!
Come to us on black horses,
Yes, on fast, painted sleighs.
Maslenitsa is crazy, money is in order
2. Are you my soul, Maslenitsa,
Quail bones,
Your paper body
Your sugary lips
Sweet is your speech!
3. Don’t be sorry, madam, for pancakes of fire!
Our guest, Maslenitsa,
Reach out until the big day!
4.Oh, Maslenitsa-white-necked,
We'll see you well!
Cheese, butter, and lard,
And a baked egg
And water from the spring, half a roll!
5.Oh, you, Maslenitsa,
Stay for a week
Oh you wide one
Stay with someone else.
Song “They led the goat through a trick”
1.Dance on Maslenitsa,
Eat, drink, and don’t sin!
2. Walk and walk, but know when to stop
Don't forget to pray.
3.Treat everyone with pancakes,
Yes, ask for forgiveness.
4. For quarrels and quarrels,
Idle talk.
5. For gossip and idleness,
To someone else's grief - fun.
Together:
Kohl took it upon himself to forgive,
Don’t you dare think of evil!
Song "Oh pancakes, my pancakes"
People are coming to treat them to pancakes.
2 buffoon: We continue the program, For friends, guests for everyone. Let's start the panorama. Amazing fun!

Sun:
- Time is up, the time has come,
You served your time honestly, Winter,
The clock has struck, the calendar has been flipped through,
So it was forever, so it was in the old days,
And I complete the Winter flight,
And I will melt the ice around her.
Maslenitsa - go for a walk people!

Hello good people! Hello Winter! I am Red Spring!
I wake the earth from sleep!
I'll give you kidney juice,
There is a grove of flowers in the fields,
I drive the ice away from the bay,
I make the sunrise bright!
Everywhere, in the field and in the forest,
I bring joy to people.
- Hello, dear Winter,
I have come to replace you.
Winter:
Hello, dear Spring,
It's time for me to go home.
Goodbye, people, and forgive me!

Warm up quickly
May our life be more fun!
