Alina, I am an Art teacher and I've just used this video in classroom for a class about Art production in quarantine. And I'll tell you this: the students absolutely loved it, just like I loved it when I watched your cover for the first time. You are really amazing. Thank you for making our lives more artistic and beautiful.

I am from Afghanistan that speaks Persian and listening to English song from a Russian musician. I believe music has no boundaries. Absolutely love it

My daughter is six months old and absolutely adores you. She literally will start smiling and kicking her feet in excitement when I put this song on for her ❤😂

Me: wow, you can play the banjo, mandolin, balalajka, flute, accordion and sing like an angel. Can you play the guitar? Alina: sure, gimme that boom boom wood.

Soon may the Gingertail come To bring us beautiful vid and song

This is a South Island New Zealand folk song. It's my culture. Thank you for enjoying it.

I love the detail of the different eye colors for different characters. Great attention to detail. Great song cover! We, the listeners, are glad to be here.

I'm a seaman and we're currently anchored at somewhere near to St Petersburg. This is the version of this song that I keep listening to every now and then. Alina is the queen. \m/

meanwhile... - Hey look! That's a new awsome cover from Alina Gingertail! Alina: - CAPTAIN Alina Gingertail!

Can we all take a moment to appreciate that she managed to get a pirate hat on a cat?

the number of instrument this wonderfully talented woman can play in performance is stunning! what a talent!!!

I like this version of the song. You really do it justice Alina. You're one of only a very few who pronounce the name of the ship correctly. It's "The Billy'o Tea" in reference to the transport of sugar, tea and rum to the on-shore whaling camps in New Zealand's early history, by the Weller Brother's shipping line that was based in Sydney Australia. A billy is a tin can (usually a re-purposed, powdered milk can) used to boil water and tea over a campfire in remote regions of Australia and to a lesser extent in New Zealand. Yes, these "billies" are still in use today (2023).

I'm sure many of you know about the "Wellerman", but for those who don't this might help. In the old sailing ship days of whaling there was a ship supply company called "Weller Brothers' shipping company". Their agents would periodically visit the docks in their wagons and carts to sell supplies to the ships and crews that they would need for their long sea voyages. Things like sugar, tea, tobacco, rum, etc. The individual agents became known simply as "The Wellerman", and was eagerly awaited by the crews. Hope that helps some to enjoy the song a little more.

You're an absolute wonder. I love love love your version of this!

Один из любимых, у меня, каверов этого исполнителя спустя все это время. 3 года уже прошло.... как время-то летит.

This song always makes me smile. With all the wonderful talents Alina has, using that to spread happiness and cheer around the world is her greatest gift. She really puts some good into the world, the power of pleasant songs combined with a friendly face can't be underestimated.

И вновь капитан Алина известная, как Рыжий Хвост, гроза ютубовских морей, взяла наше сердечко на абордаж)

it's like she's struggling to keep herself from grinning the entire time. it's contagious. i love it.

This sound is so wonderful. The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness!

No matter how bleak things get, this video never fails to put a smile on my face. Thanks Alina.

The funny thing is: she makes this look so easy. I mean she plays a bunch of instruments, sings in a few tunes, and it looks like it's just afternoon fun for her. I can't help but to love it :)

Her eyes change color with the costumes. That’s dedication.

Such talented almost identical triplets, and you can only tell the difference by the colour of their eyes? Amazing.

No doubt about it, lady. This whole video, performance, and musical concept naturally "knocks it right out of the park!" 3:22 min of pure visual and musical beauty. Bravo Bravissimo!

Где-то в Хабаровске: - Ало, это магазин оптики? - Да, мне надо вся ваша партия линз для глаз со всеми существующими цветами. - Да, карие тоже нужны. - И что с того что у меня они и так карие? - А для котов у вас варианты имеются? - А для плюшевых акул? - Эй, почему вы не отвечаете? - Ало? Ало!

Them-"What instrument do you play?" Alina-"Yes"

Jedno z piekniejszych wykonań tej pieśni,masz talent,widac radość i w Twojej muzyce,tak trzymaj. Z serca pozdrawiam 🌹

Very talented with a great sense of creativity and childish nature that's refreshing to watch

There's something about a Russian lady singing sea shanties that I love.

“I don’t see why a sailor would be lured by a siren song.” “…I do.”

She has such a beautiful voice!😊 I would watch this 24/7

Я врач хирург и мы твои песни, Алина, слушаем во время операций😁 И всё у нас получается с твой помощью 😁😁👍👍 Продолжай нас радовать своими песнями, удачи тебе в твоём творчестве!!!

Can we talk about how happy she looks? It's honestly so wholesome

1:57 looks like she's checking on the other two if they're doing their job correctly xD

Great version of this old shanty! Greetings from the city that was the home of the Weller Brothers' whaling station, Dunedin, New Zealand!

Этот стиль Она потрясающе выбирает себе одежду, цвета, атмосферу, да у неё всё великолепно

- Сыграешь на стиральной доске? - Подержите мой ром

This woman is a musical mastermind. I do not know how many instruments she plays or how many languages she sings in. And still the videos are true poetry. First time i watched this i thought is was made by triplets.

Zawsze słucham tego utworu gdy mam gorszy dzień i od razu humor mi się poprawia. Dziękuję Ci Alina za muzykę i twórczość.

She very beautiful and very talented. Love hearing her sing her songs.

Некоторое количество лет назад, 17 марта, случился внеочередной парад всех небесных тел. Разверзлись небеса и родилась Алина, ныне известная как Рыжехвост. Так поздравим же её с праздником, пожелаем ей счастья и здоровья. И пусть её никогда не покидает вдохновение.

Алина:*Поёт на корабле Капитан: Женщина на корабле к несчастью, в море её. Экипаж:*Выбрасывает капитана в море

Your voice is great but I think I was more impressed with the rich tones your strings added. One of the best renditions I've heard.

Wow love this version. What can't she play? Prince played a lot of instruments and there are few musicians out there that can do the same and I admire all of them. She is just one beautiful package physically and musically.

a ginger singing sea shantys? feels like a home here

It's amazing how one person can be so good at so many instruments I'm in awe

I’m mesmerised by her eyes as well as her musical ability !

By far the best, most melodic, most articulate and well produced cover of this song on UKposts. Well done!

Yarr don't listen to the mermaid lads, she'll drag you below water after charmin' y'all with her magical voice.

Алина держит планку, в прошлый раз на бревне, сегодня играет на стиральной доске, браво!!!

This is a cover masterpiece. Very impressive, many thanks for your creativity

It´s one of the best cover versions i ever heard, I sing with you in karaoke

The fact that this was recorded on a COUCH decorated like a pirate cove during a global pandemic is... quite an amazing display of human creativity

That cat has got to be the finest pirate I've ever seen

Из всех английских исполнений этой песни ваша мне нравится больше всего. Тут интонация, мотив, музыкальное сопровождение и паузы прям так, как я бы хотел слышать эту песню.❤ Подписываюсь.

A perfect folk song sung by a perfect singer. God bless Alina

You have to respect someone who can play, among all those musical instruments, a shark.

Тик-токеры: *делают хоровый ремикс The Wellerman* Алина: "- Подержите-ка мой ром!"

So talented! You did an awesome job! I love this adaptation!

When I’m feeling a little down. I rewatch this and always feel better.

текст на русском: "Однажды по морям ходил корабль, Имя ей было Котелок с Чаем Задували ветра, её нос опускался Наддайте, мои задиры, наддайте! Скоро придёт Веллерман** Принесёт нам сахару, чая и рома Когда-нибудь, когда кончим разделку Мы соберёмся и уйдём И двух недель не прошло, как она была в море Когда прямо на неё вышел могучий кит Капитан весь экипаж созвал и клялся, Что возьмёт этого кита на буксир Скоро придёт Веллерман Принесёт нам сахару, чай и ром Когда-нибудь, когда кончим разделку Мы соберёмся и уйдём Ещё до того, как лодки спустить, Поднялся хвост кита и зацепил их Весь экипаж ринулся к борту, загарпунил кита и боролся Но кит вглубь далеко ушёл Скоро придёт Веллерман Принесёт нам сахару, чай и ром Когда-нибудь, когда кончим разделку Мы соберёмся и уйдём Ни троса не срубили, кита не упустили, Не жадность была на уме у Капитана; Он верен был китобойской чести А корабль за собой тащил кит Скоро придёт Веллерман Принесёт нам сахару, чай и ром Когда-нибудь, когда кончим разделку Мы соберёмся и уйдём Все сорок дней, а может больше Трос то ослабевал, то натягивался снова Все лодки потеряли - их всего четыре было Но тот кит всё плыл и плыл Скоро придёт Веллерман Принесёт нам сахару, чай и ром Когда-нибудь, когда кончим разделку Мы соберёмся и уйдём Я слышал, что битва всё ещё идёт Трос не рублен, кит не отпущен И Веллерман отпускает свой клич Чтобы ободрить капитана, команду и всех Скоро придёт Веллерман Принесёт нам сахару, чай и ром Когда-нибудь, когда кончим разделку Мы соберёмся и уйдём Скоро придёт Веллерман Принесёт нам сахару, чай и ром Когда-нибудь, когда кончим разделку Мы соберёмся и уйдём"

Those banjo trills are so goddamn clean I love it.

BEST VERSION I'VE EVER HEARD!! And me being Irish and a Sailor, I gotta love this song....well done young lady!!! You are very talented!! Listening to this song always puts a smile on my face and the Pirate Kitty is unique to say the least!!! And your eyes show such expression as you sing! ;-)

I love this! What a great musician.

(lyrics) There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea The winds blew up, her bow dipped down Oh blow, my bully boys, blow Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go She'd not been two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go Before the boat had hit the water The whale's tail came up and caught her All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her When she dived down low Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go No line was cut, no whale was freed The captain's mind was not of greed And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed She took that ship in tow Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go For forty days or even more The line went slack then tight once more All boats were lost, there were only four But still that whale did go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go As far as I've heard, the fight's still on The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone The Wellerman makes his regular call To encourage the captain, crew and all Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go

That cat is gotta be the cutest pirate I've ever seen

Rude włosy, zielone oczy i ten głos. Jesteś cudna. Zakochałem się. Jesteś SUPER.

The BEST version of wellerman I have every Heard !

You look just like Miss Fortune😅

Your cat made an amazing addition to the video and historically, cats would have been brought aboard ships to keep rats out of the food supplies.

I'm obsessed with this. You are amazing. Your musicianship is so impressive and this is such a good song.

ERES UNA ARTISTA COMPLETA: DOMINIO DE VOZ, DOMINIO DE INSTRUMENTOS MUSICALES ( cuerdas , viento y percusion ) , DOMINIO DE INTERPRETACION Y ESCENICO.....DEFINITIVAMENTE INCREIBLE!!!!!! DESDE PUERTO RICO, EN EL MAR CARIBE, TE DESEO TODO LO MEJOR EN TU CARRERA. GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR TU TALENTO POR ESTA PLATAFORMA. SALUDAME A LOS GATITOS.....SON BONITOS. QUE DIOS BENDIGA TU TALENTO. 👏👏👏🤟🤟🤟😃😀😄

It's like trademark right now, "Gingertail Cover". You feel the quality before.

My dad's been weirdly obsessed with this song for the past few months. I'm debating over showing this to him

Absolutely love this version!

Alina you are one of my favorites in the world! Please keep making awesome music ;)

I think her accent is so adorable 😍 It makes it even more enjoyable to listen to it

Easily the best version of this and sung by a real-life siren, no less. What a beautiful masterpiece...the music is really amazing too!

기나긴 항해에 지친 선원들의 유일한 낙

It occurs to me that a lot of work and skill must go into creating the montage of thumbnails to match the words and music. And I appreciated the faded out epilogue. It added something. I'm tempted to suspect that Ms Alina has studied media to a professional level. As for Ms Alina herself, all I can say is: The eyes, the eyes... The Russian accent and that hint of rich darkness in the tone of voice... And the cat in a tricorn hat... I really liked this one.

The fact that all eye colors suit you, is the biggest beauty flex ever

The amount of variety you put into the instruments, outfits and even eye-contacts are impressive!

Не устану пересматривать это видео. Очень уж мне нравится звучание инструментов и голоса, мимика, красота самой Алины и задний фон. Такие видео побуждают смотреть на мир с позитивным настроем. И вдохновляют.

Beautiful performance. The cat is a superstar 😽

This cover is amazing ! She's ridiculously talented : her voice, the instrument arrangements, the costumes.... She smiles while singing, the subtle display of fun she's having while performing this is perfect. And her slight accent is fitting. Cheers me every time I listen to this. Thank you so much for sharing your beauty with the world.

She deserves every cent she makes from this video - well done!

Божественно, Алина!!!

Великолепная аранжировка. Просто и благозвучно.

So hyped ! Discovered Alina's channel a week ago, and can't stop listening !! Continue like this, you rock !

Алина чокается бокалами на дне рождения, понимает, что стиральная доска, не единственный неординарный предмет для извлечения звука. Здоровья и продуктивности! 🎉

I can comment this song hundreds of times. You are beautiful, talented artist worth of all glory and fame tor received, Alina!

I'd die to be with this woman with a voice of an angel.

I love her pronunciation of the word "rum", gives her nationally away, but she says it so sweetly !

The instrumentation is so on-point!! The flute was the perfect touch!

You are Golden, i salute

She has many different eye colors in this vid just noticed after seeing this 700 times what a talented beautiful Lady

I just taught a music class and used this video as a part of the lesson. The kids loved it and so did I! Great job with the cover, Alina!

Алина: бьёт кулачками по гитаре Барабан: я для тебя какая-то шутка?

Amazing. Such talent!

You're a witch. There is black magic and devilish abilities behind this innoent face that forced me into listening to this multiple times everyday ;)
