Is there any difference between калинка, малинка and ягода
All three words appeared in the song <калинка>, I'm confused whether they all mean the same thing or they are different things
"Калинка, калинка, калинка моя!
В саду ягода малинка, малинка моя!"
Thanks for attention

The word "калинка (калина)" means arrow-wood, the word "малинка (малина)" means raspberry. And the word "ягода" means berry. "Ягода" is a collective noun for "калина" and "малина".
The word "калинка" is affectionate diminutive of the word "калина". We use it when we want to sound sweet. "Калинка" and "малинка" are endearing words.
