A group lament having left their homeland. We hear the loneliness, enjoyment of new musical friendships, the agitation of being in strange circumstances. They also play a lively folk tune Kolomeike,кoлoмийкa, a very quick duple-time dance tune, with a variable scale, popular in Ukraine for weddings and other festive occasions, often led by a clarinet with soft reed and many smears.
