Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the history of Bessarabia split in time from the mother country by the river Prut. Ever since the 16th (the 28th) of May 1812, Prut becomes a border to separate people of a kind. Bessarabia, thus “separated” by this border, expressed its misfortune in folk songs. The author brings as examples a few poetic creations inspired by this reality.
