Maria or Marusia Churai was a semi-mythical Ukrainian Baroque composer, poet, and singer.
She has become a recurrent motif in Ukrainian literature and the songs ascribed to her are widely performed in Ukraine.
Very little is known of her life. She was a native of Poltava, and is regarded as the author as well as the subject of the well-known Ukrainian folk song "Oi Ne Khody Hrytsiu Tai na Vechornytsi" (Hryts, Don't Go to the Evening Dances) known in the West as the song "Yes, My Darling Daughter".
