Assistant Director: Jorge Valls, Accompanist: Emme Wien, Flute: Nicole Straussman. See the lovely birch in the meadow, Curly leaves all dancing when the wind blows.

Loo-lee-loo, three branches, Loo-lee-loo, three branches. From another birch I will make now, I will make a tingling balalaika. Loo-lee-loo, balalaika, Loo-lee-loo, balalaika. When I play my new balalaika, I will think of you, my lovely birch tree. Loo-lee-loo, lovely birch tree, Loo-lee-loo, lovely birch tree.  less
