Kalinka (Калинка) is a Russian folk song written by Ivan Larionov. The title refers to the Russian word for a Snowball tree (калина).
Despite the song's title, some games have mistakenly titled it Karinka, possibly because these were games from Japan. Japanese doesn't have "L" sound, instead transliterating it with "R".
