"Yikhav Kozak za Dunai" (Ukrainian: Їхав козак за Дунай, lit. 'The Cossack Rode beyond the Danube') is one of the most famous Ukrainian folk songs. It was written by the Ukrainian philosopher and poet Semen Klymovsky.

Under the name "Schöne Minka" it also became popular in Germany.[1] The German title comes from the first words of a poem by Christoph August Tiedge, "Schöne Minka, ich muß scheiden".

"According to an 1830 review in the AMA, there was a time when Schöne Minka was 'whistled, hummed, and muttered on every street corner'. The Lied was popular for some time, and many composers used it in arrangements and variation sets, including the popular flutist–composer Carl Keller. Beethoven first set Schöne Minka in his 1816 collection Lieder verschiedener Völker (Songs of Various Nations), and then again in his Variations, Op. 107, at the request of the Scottish music publisher George Thomson."
