Winter. The mail troika is rushing along the frozen Volga river. The coachman, a young guy is humming some sad tune shaking his head. Then a friendly passenger asked him , why he looked so sad. And the coachman tells him his life story. He told him that he had been fallen in love for already a year. But the village headman, the infidel Tatar, scolded him all the time about it.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Here's the postal troika rushing
Along the Volga river in winter.
The coachman is humming some sad tune
And shaking his head.

"What are you thinking of, young lad?" -
A friendly passenger asked him,
"What torments your heart?
Tell me, who made you so sad?"

"Oh, dear sir, my good sir!
It's been a year since I fell in love.
But the village Tatar headman
Scolds me for it, and I have to endure it!

Oh, good sir, Christmastide will come soon
But she will never be mine again!
A rich and hateful one took her away from me,
So she'll never see the beautiful days again."

The coachman finished his story
And put away his harness whip.
"Hey, restless horses, stop!" -
He said and gave a sorrowful sigh...

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Вот мчится тройка почтовая
По Волге-матушке зимой.
Ямщик, уныло напевая,
Качает буйной головой.

«О чем задумался, детина?» -
Седок приветливо спросил, -
«Какая на сердце кручина?
Скажи, тебя кто огорчил?»

«Ах, милый барин, добрый барин!
Вот скоро год, как я люблю.
А нехристь староста-татарин
Меня журит, а я терплю.

Ах, милый барин, скоро святки,
А ей не быть уже моей;
Богатый выбрал, да постылый,
Ей не видать отрадных дней».

Ямщик умолк и кнут ременный
С голицей за пояс заткнул.
«Родные... Стой, неугомонные!» -
Сказал, сам горестно вздохнул...

LATIN TRANSLITERATION:

Vot mchitsya troika pochtovaya
Po Volge-matushke zimoi.
Yamschik, unylo napevaya,
Kachaet buinoi golovoi.

«O chem zadumalsya, detina? -
Sedok privetlivo sprosil: -
Kakaya na serdce kruchina?
Skaji, tebya kto ogorchil?»

«Ah, milyi barin, dobryi barin!
Vot skoro god, kak ya lyublyu.
A nehrist' starosta-tatarin
Menya jurit, a ya terplyu.

Ah, milyi barin, skoro svyatki,
A ei ne byt' uje moei;
Bogatyi vybral, da postylyi,
Ei ne vidat' otradnyh dnei».

Yamschik umolk i knut remennyi
S golicei za poyas zatknul.
«Rodnye... Stoi, neugomonnye!» -
Skazal, sam gorestno vzdohnul.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

This song came from my father
And from my quiet mother
It's about the fields that go from the porch
To the big cities and the seas.

Refrain:
My land, my land, meet me!
Meet me, the green one!
The loving soul called you
And led to you!

And in spring, longing is sharper -
In the spring I dreamed in the distance
That a darkened clod of earth
Lies on my palm

Refrain

Everything in my destiny has changed,
Cities and fields are left behind.
I return to you again,
My blue-eyed fate...

Refrain

The day is slowly slipping away,
I'm looking at your window.
Do you want to spend the sunset together?
And let's meet the dawn together.

Refrain

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Эта песня пришла от отца
И от матери тихой моей
О полях, что идут от крыльца
До больших городов и морей.

Припев:
Земля, земля, встречай меня
Встречай зеленая
К тебе звала, к тебе вела
Душа влюбленная!

А весною тоска все острей -
А весною мне снилось вдали,
Что лежит на ладони моей
Потемневший комочек земли

Припев

Все в моей поменялось судьбе
Позади города и поля
Я опять возвращаюсь к тебе,
Синеглазая доля моя

Припев

День тихонько уходит назад
На окошко твое я смотрю
Хочешь вместе проводим закат?
Вместе ранюю встретим зарю.

Припев

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

He was just a titular counselor*,
And she was a general's daughter.
He modestly confessed his love
But she sent him away!
Sent him away!..

The titular counselor went away
And was drinking the whole night long.
And in the wine mist she floated in front of him
The general's daughter!
The general's daughter!..

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Он был титулярный советник,
Она - генеральская дочь.
Он скромно в любви объяснился,
Она прогнала его прочь!
Прогнала его прочь!

Пошел титулярный советник
И пьянствовал целую ночь.
И в винном тумане носилась пред ним
Генеральская дочь!
Генеральская дочь...

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Oh, if I could express in sound
All the strength of my sufferings
The pain in your soul would subside,
And the murmur of doubt would subsided.

And I would have rested, my dear,
Having told you all the suffering.
Listening to the cherished sound,
Your heart would break.

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

О, если б мог выразить в звуке
Всю силу страданий моих,
В душе твоей стихли бы муки,
И ропот сомненья затих.

И я б отдохнул, дорогая,
Страдание высказав всё.
Заветному звуку внимая,
Разбилось бы сердце твоё.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

The bell sings under the horse arc,
Under the arc, under the elm arc.
A daring guy is taking a girl to a ride,
A black-browed girl.
The guy flattered the shy girl,
He lured her after him
Into the wide steppe on a dark night.

Well, cuddle up to me, honey, closer,
I will ride with all my might
I will rush my black horses
It's all for you, my sweetheart.
Hey, we'll fly across the wild steppe, my little bird,
Your cheeks will be hot, will be sweet to your heart!

Only the wind can see us here in the steppe,
Don't be ashamed my love!
The bright hour has come for our love -
Long awaited time!
The guy flattered the shy girl,
Lured her with a hot caress
This night, this dark night.

He cuddled his sweetheart closer,
He rode with all his might
And rushed his black horses
It's all for his sweetheart.
Hey, we'll fly across the wild steppe, my little bird,
The girl's cheeks became hot, will be sweet to her heart!

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Под дугой колокольчик поёт,
Под дугою, да под вязовою.
Удалой парень девицу везёт,
Девицу чернобровую.
Улестил парень девку скромную,
Заманил её за собою,
В ширь степную ночью тёмною.

Ну, прижмись ко мне, лапушка, тесней,
Прокачу я что хватит силушки,
Разгоню вороных своих коней
Я для зазнобы-милушки.
Эй, целиною по степи полетим, касатка,
То ли будет щёчкам жарко, будет сердцу сладко!

Здесь в степи только ветер видит нас,
Не стыдись же, моя желанная,
Для любви нашей пробил светлый час
Порушка долгожданная.
Улестил парень девку скромную,
Заманил её жаркой лаской
В эту ночку, ночку тёмную.

Он прижал свою лапушку тесней,
Прокатил что хватило силушки,
Разогнал вороных своих коней
Он для зазнобы-милушки.
Эй, целиною по степи полетим, касатка,
Стало девке щечкам жарко, будет сердцу сладко!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Blow, wind, to Ukraine,
Where I left a girl
Where I left brown eyes...
Blow, wind, at midnight.

There is a valley between the mountains,
There is a hut in that valley,
There is a girl in that hut,
My darling sweetheart.

When her heart starts beating
When she sighs sadly,
When brown eyes start to cry, -
Come back, wind, at midnight!

And if she forgot me
And caressed someone other,
Then let the wind blow over the valley
And don't come back from Ukraine!..

The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing
Heart is beating, heart is melting,
The wind is blowing and does not return,
And my heart pitifully freezes.

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Повій, вітре, на Вкраїну,
Де покинув я дівчину,
Де покинув карі очі...
Повій, вітре, опівночі.

Між горами там долина,
В тій долині є хатина,
В тій хатині – дівчинонька,
Дівчинонька-голубонька.

Як заб’ється в нiй серденько,
Як зітхне вона легенько,
Як заплачуть карі очі, –
Вертай, вітре, опівночі!

А якщо мене забула
І другого пригорнула,
То розвійся край долини,
Не вертайся з України!..

Вітер віє, вітер віє,
Серце б'ється, серце мліє,
Вітер віє, не вертає,
Серце з жалю завмирає.

*TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:*

Glorious sea, sacred Lake of Baikal*
Glorious ship, omul* fish salting barrel.
Hey Bargouzeen* stir the waves helping me
I'm sailing not far, I'm a brave man.

Long as I wore my unbearable chains,
Long as I wandered the Akatui* hillsides,
My old friend had helped me to flee from the jail,
And I came to life feeling freedom.

Shilka* and Nerchinsk* don't frighten me now,
Mountain guards couldn't manage to catch me,
Ravenous predators never touched me in woods,
A bullet from guards never hit me.

I walked at night and amid the bright daylight,
Passed by the towns looking tensely around.
Rural women have offered me bred,
Lads shared me some makhorka*.

Glorious sea, sacred Lake of Baikal,
Glorious sail, my caftan* full of holes.
Hey Bargouzeen* stir the waves helping me,
I hear the thunderstorm's coming.
I hear the thunderstorm's coming.
___________________________________________

*ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:*

Славное море - священный Байкал!
Славный корабль - омулёвая бочка!
Эй, баргузин, пошевеливай вал, -
Молодцу плыть недалечко.

Долго я тяжкие цепи носил,
Долго бродил я в горах Акатуя.
Старый товарищ бежать подсобил,
Ожил я, волю почуя.

Шилка и Нерчинск не страшны теперь,
Горная стража меня не поймала,
В дебрях не тронул прожорливый зверь,
Пуля стрелка миновала.

Шел я и вночь, и средь белого дня,
Близ городов, озираяся зорко,
Хлебом кормили крестьянки меня,
Парни снабжали махоркой.

Славное море - священный Байкал!
Славный мой парус - кафтан дыроватый!
Эй, баргузин, пошевеливай вал,
Слышатся грома раскаты.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

On a sunny glade
Arching an eyebrow,
A boy plays a song about love
On his accordion.
About how he spent hot nights
With his girlfriend,
And what beautiful shawls
He used to give her.

Refrain:
Play, play and tell,
My accordion itself
About how the black-eyed one
Has droven me crazy.

The soldier in the midst of smoke and gunpowder
Never parted with his accordion.
And in a fierce battle with the enemy
He finally deserved a medal.
A flying letter came
To the snowy distance,
Saying that she is waiting for him,
And agrees to see him with the medal.

Refrain:

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

На солнечной поляночке,
Дугою выгнув бровь,
Парнишка на тальяночке
Играет про любовь.
Про то, как ночи жаркие
С подружкой проводил,
Какие полушалки ей
Красивые дарил.

Припев -
Играй, играй, рассказывай,
Тальяночка, сама
О том, как черноглазая
Свела с ума.

Боец средь дыма, пороха
С тальяночкой дружил.
И в лютой битве с ворогом
Медаль он заслужил.
Пришло письмо летучее
В заснеженную даль,
Что ждёт, что в крайнем случае,
Согласна на медаль.

Припев

На солнечной поляночке,
Дугою выгнув бровь,
Парнишка на тальяночке
Играет про любовь.
Про то, как ночи жаркие
С подружкой проводил,
Какие полушалки ей
Красивые дарил.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

If the Volga mother
Would flow back,
If only life
Could start over.

If only the bottom of the sea
Сould be measured!
If only beautiful girls
Сould be trusted...

Oh, if only flowers
Could bloom in winter!
If only we could love
And never stop loving...

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Кабы Волга-матушка
Да вспять побежала,
Кабы можно было,
Жизнь начать сначала.

Кабы дно морское
Достать да измерить!
Кабы можно было
Красным девкам верить...

Ой кабы зимою,
Цветы расцветали.
Кабы мы любили,
Да не разлюбляли.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

In the coastal vines,
On the high steep slopes -
There we loved and grew up.
Oh, Dnieper, Dnieper,
You are broad and powerful,
The cranes are flying over you.

You saw the battle,
Dnieper-Father river -
We went on the attack under the mountain.
Those who died for the Dnieper,
Will live for centures,
Because they fought like heroes!

The enemy attacked us,
So we left the Dnieper.
The mortal combat thundered like a storm.
Oh, Dnieper, Dnieper,
You are flowing far away,
And your wave is like a tear.

The enemy's drinking water
From your rapids,
And he'll choke with that water.
The glorious day has come, -
We are going forward.
And we'll see you, Dnieper, soon again!

Let the blood of the fascists hounds
Flow like a river,
The enemy will not take the Soviet land!
Like the spring Dnieper,
All the enemies will be swept away
By our Army and our people!

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

У прибрежных лоз, у высоких круч
И любили мы и росли.
Ой, Днипро, Днипро, ты широк, могуч,
Над тобой летят журавли.

Ты увидел бой, Днепр-отец река,
Мы в атаку шли под горой.
Кто погиб за Днепр, будет жить века,
Коль сражался он как герой.

Враг напал на нас, мы с Днепра ушли.
Смертный бой гремел, как гроза.
Ой, Днипро, Днипро, ты течёшь вдали,
И волна твоя как слеза.

Из твоих стремнин ворог воду пьёт,
Захлебнётся он той водой.
Славный день настал, мы идём вперёд
И увидимся вновь с тобой.

Кровь фашистских псов пусть рекой течёт,
Враг советский край не возьмёт.
Как весенний Днепр, всех врагов сметёт
Наша армия, наш народ!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Arise, the huge country!
Arise for the mortal battle
With the dark fascist force,
With the damn horde!

REFRAIN:
Let our noble fury
Boil as like a wave!
The national war is going on!
The sacred war!

Let's reject the suppressors
Of all ardent ideas,
Those tyrants, the robbers,
And torturers of people!

The black wings should not dare
To fly over our motherland!
And its spacious fields
The enemy does not dare to trample down!

Let's shoot a bullet into the foreheads
Of the rotten fascist evil spirits!
And for the scum of mankind
Let's hammer together a strong coffin!

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Вставай, страна огромная!
Вставай на смертный бой!
С фашистской силой темною,
С проклятою ордой.

Припев:
Пусть ярость благородная
Вскипает как волна -
Идет война народная,
Священная война!

Дадим отпор душителям
Всех пламенных идей,
Насильникам, грабителям,
Мучителям людей.

(Не смеют крылья черные
Над Родиной летать,
Поля её просторные
Не смеет враг топтать!)

Гнилой фашистской нечисти
Загоним пулю в лоб.
Отребью человечества
Сколотим крепкий гроб!

Oh, if I could express in sound
All the strength of my sufferings
The pain in your soul would subside,
And the murmur of doubt would subsided.

And I would have rested, my dear,
Having told you all the suffering.
Listening to the cherished sound,
Your heart would break.

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

О, если б мог выразить в звуке
Всю силу страданий моих,
В душе твоей стихли бы муки,
И ропот сомненья затих.

И я б отдохнул, дорогая,
Страдание высказав всё.
Заветному звуку внимая,
Разбилось бы сердце твоё.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Where the air is wounded by the flight of a projectile,
Where the field is pitted with bombs all around,
For the Russian land, for the honor of Leningrad
The Marine Corps is fighting the enemy.

The grass in the glade is flattened with iron,
Behind the tank, the infantry crawls along the ground.
In a broken trench, the helmsman from the "Marat"
Left alone on the coastal cliff.

And the helmsman from the "Marat" fights to death
Like a banner, raising his peakless cap.
Hitting the enemy with the last grenade,
He accepts death in an unequal battle.

But a company is hurrying towards the tanks,
And the canпons roll forward under the bullets.
Friends-gunners, marines -
Baltic people, iron people!

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Где воздух изранен полётом снаряда,
Где бомбами поле изрыто кругом,
За русскую землю, за честь Ленинграда
Морская пехота дерётся с врагом.

Трава на поляне железом примята,
За танком пехота ползет по земле.
В разбитом окопе штурвальный с "Марата"
Остался один на прибрежной скале.

И насмерть дерётся штурвальный с "Марата"
Как знамя, подняв бескозырку свою.
Врага поражая последней гранатой,
Он смерть принимает в неравном бою.

Но танкам навстречу торопится рота,
И пушки под пулями катят вперед.
Друзья-комендоры, морская пехота,
Балтийские люди, железный народ!

A.V. Alexandrova (or the Red Army Choir). This cantata was dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the formation of the USSR. The second part of the clip features an excerpt from the patriotic military song "Soldiers, on the way!".
Music - Boris Alexandrov, lyrics - Ernst Mikhailov

This is a clip from the musical film "I glorify the Fatherland" produced in 1975.

Brief history of this cantata:

In 1972, the 50th anniversary of the formation of the USSR was celebrated. The Ministry of Culture of the Soviet Union announced a competition for the best large-form musical work dedicated to this event. The artistic director of the Red Banner Ensemble, Boris Alexandrov, invited the poet E. Mikhailov in order to write poetry for a cantata, with which he was going to participate in the competition. Together they developed a theme that is typical for the army creative team: the theme of the oath of allegiance to the Fatherland.

Soon the cantata was written, orchestrated and arranged for soloists of male, children's and mixed choirs. The screening was attended by members of the jury, leaders of the Main Political Directorate of the Soviet Army and Navy, as well as the Minister of Culture of the USSR E.A. Furtseva. As a result, by the decision of the jury, the cantata "We swear to you, Motherland" took the 1st place in its nomination at the competition. The authors received honorary awards.

The whole country takes the oath,
When soldiers swear to their Homeland.
Excited youth stands in the ranks -
The sons of the fifteen republics!

The words ring like steel over the whole earth:
I am a citizen of the Soviet Union! (3 times)

Always ready,
on the orders of the Soviet government,
to start defending my Motherland -
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
I swear to protect it
without sparing my blood
and life itself!
and life itself!
We swear!

Soldiers, on the road!:

The days of work and study
Have come for us now.
So that our villages and cities
Can blossom peacefully.

Soldiers, on the road, on the road, on the road!
And for you, dear,
There is a field mail.
Farewell, the trumpet is calling -
The soldiers are going on a campaign!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Like the winds from the mountains
Soldiers trumpet to gather -
The road is far from the threshold.
And, dropping the handkerchief,
So that no one sees
A tear was wiped away by a girl's hand.

Refrain:
Don't cry, girl,
The rains will pass.
The soldier will return -
You just wait.
Let your faithful friend
Be far away -
Love in the world
Is stronger than separation.

Walked a little -
Not yet a general,
But maybe I'll become a petty officer.
Forgive me for not being able
To say that I will be brave
And that you will be my wife.

Our sergeant major
Has military orders,
And I have all this ahead.
But you, love, mind
The honors badges,
Which are now on my chest.

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Как будто ветры с гор,
Трубят солдаты сбор, -
Дорога от порога далека.
И, уронив платок,
Чтоб не видал никто,
Слезу смахнула девичья рука.

Припев:
Не плачь, девчонка,
Пройдут дожди.
Солдат вернется –
Ты только жди.
Пускай далеко
Твой верный друг –
Любовь на свете
Сильней разлук.

Немного прошагал –
Пока не генерал,
Но, может быть, я стану старшиной.
Прости, что не сумел
Сказать, что буду смел
И то, что будешь ты моей женой.

Наш ротный старшина
Имеет ордена,
А у меня все это впереди.
Но ты, любовь, зачти
Отличника значки,
Которые теснятся на груди.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Goodbye, towns and huts,
The long road is calling us
Young, brave guys
Go on a campaign at dawn.

Come out girls at dawn
To see off the Komsomol detachment.
You girls do not be sad without us -
We will come back with victory!

We will dispel the enemy clouds,
And will clear the obstacles on the way
The enemy won't escape inevitable death
And will not pass his grave!

The great hour of reckoning has come
The people handed us weapons -
Goodbye, towns and huts,
We go on a campaign at dawn!

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

До свиданья, города и хаты,
Нас дорога дальняя зовет,
Молодые, смелые ребята,
На заре уходим мы в поход.

На заре девчата выходите
Комсомольский провожать отряд
Вы без нас, девчата не грустите -
Мы придем с победою назад!

(Missed versus -
Грозной силой на земле и в море
Встретим мы непрошенных гостей.
И фашистской кровожадной своре
Не собрать вовек своих костей.)

Мы развеем вражеские тучи,
Разметем преграды на пути
И врагу от смерти неминучей
От своей могилы не уйти!

Наступил великий час расплаты
Нам вручил оружие народ -
До свиданья, города и хаты,
На заре уходим мы в поход!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Where does the Motherland begin?
It begins with a picture in your primer,
It begins with good and faithful comrades
Living in the neighboring yard.

Or maybe it begins
With the song that our mother sang to us,
With the fact that in any challenges
No one can take away from us.

Where does the Motherland begin...
It begins with the cherished bench at the gate,
It begins with the same birch that grows
In the field, bending under the wind.

Or maybe it begins
With the spring song of the starling
And with this country road,
Which has no end in sight.

Where does the Motherland begin...
It begins with windows glowing in the distance,
It begins with an old father's budenovka*,
Which we found somewhere in the closet.

Or maybe it begins
With the sound of wagon wheels,
And with the oath that you took to her
In your heart in your youth.

* Budenovka - is a distinctive type of hat, an archetypal part of the Communist military uniforms of the Russian Civil War following the Russian revolution (1917–1922) and later conflicts. Its official name was the "broadcloth helmet". It was named after Red Army cavalry commander Semyon Budyonny. It is a soft, woolen hat that covers the ears and neck. The cap features a peak and folded earflaps that can be buttoned under the chin.

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:

С чего начинается Родина?
С картинки в твоем букваре,
С хороших и верных товарищей,
Живущих в соседнем дворе,

А может она начинается
С той песни, что пела нам мать,
С того, что в любых испытаниях
У нас никому не отнять.

С чего начинается Родина...
С заветной скамьи у ворот,
С той самой березки что во поле
Под ветром склоняясь, растет.

А может она начинается
С весенней запевки скворца
И с этой дороги проселочной,
Которой не видно конца.

С чего начинается Родина...
С окошек горящих вдали,
Со старой отцовской буденновки,
Что где - то в шкафу мы нашли,

А может она начинается
Со стука вагонных колес,
И с клятвы, которую в юности
Ты ей в своем сердце принес.

*TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:*

On the bright May nights
The fights have died down and ended.
Where are you now, fellow soldiers,
My combat companions?

I walk at a good sunset hour
At the brand new pine gates.
Maybe a fair breeze will bring
А familiar soldier to us here...

We would recall how we used to live,
How we lost count for difficult versts.
We would drink to the bottom for the Victory
And would add one more for the friends.

If you happen to be unmarried,
You don't be sad, my friend
Here in our region rich in songs
The girls are pretty damn good.

We will build a good house for you,
In order to be seen all over:
The family of the Russian hero lives here,
Who defended the country with his chest.

On the May short nights,
The fights have died down and ended.
Where are you now, fellow soldiers,
My combat companions?

*ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:*

Майскими, короткими ночами,
Отгремев, закончились бои.
Где же вы теперь, друзья-однополчане,
Боевые спутники мои?

Я хожу в хороший час заката
У сосновых новеньких ворот.
Может, к нам сюда знакомого солдата
Ветерок попутный занесет.

Мы бы с ним припомнили, как жили,
Как теряли трудным верстам счет.
За победу мы б по полной осушили,
За друзей добавили б еще.

Если ты случайно неженатый,
Ты, дружок, нисколько не тужи.
Здесь у нас в районе, песнями богатом,
Девушки уж больно хороши.

Мы тебе хороший дом построим,
Чтобы было видно по всему:
Здесь живет семья российского героя,
Грудью защитившего страну.

Майскими, короткими ночами,
Отгремев, закончились бои.
Где же вы теперь, друзья-однополчане,
Боевые спутники мои?

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

A snowstorm sweeps along the street,
My dear is following the snowstorm;
You stop, stop, my beauty,
Let me have a look, my joy, at you!

To look at your pleasant beauty,
To look at your white face.
You stop, stop, my beauty,
Let me have a look, my joy, at you!

Your beauty drove me crazy
Withered your good fellow.
You stop, stop, my beauty,
Let me have a look, my joy, at you!

ORIGINAL LYRICS IN RUSSIAN:

Вдоль по улице метелица метет,
За метелицей мой миленький идет;
Ты постой, постой, красавица моя,
Дозволь наглядеться, радость, на тебя!

На твою ли на приятну красоту,
На твое ли что на белое лицо.
Ты постой, постой, красавица моя,
Дозволь наглядеться, радость, на тебя!

Красота твоя с ума меня свела,
Иссушила добра-молодца меня.
Ты постой, постой, красавица моя,
Дозволь наглядеться, радость, на тебя!
Ты постой, постой, красавица моя,
Дозволь наглядеться, радость, на тебя!

Ach, neni tu, neni - Victor Nikitin and the Alexandrov Red Army Choir (1948)

Leonid Kharitonov (Леонид Харитонов) 2022-06-18 | The Czech folk song "Ach, neni tu, neni (Ah, not here, not)" performed by Victor Nikitin (tenor) and the Alexandrov Red Army Choir. Conductor is Konstantin Vinogradov. This video recording was made in Prague during the tour of the Ensemble to Czechoslovakia in June-July 1948.

In the full text of the lyrics of this song, a young girl tells how sad and unhappy she is. The reason is that she lost her beloved one, whom she was in love with and with whom she was very happy. It is all the worse that now her parents are forcing her to marry a widowed man and she is not interested in him. Moreover, this widower is severely devastated by the loss of his wife, and the girl is afraid that even if she marry him, he would not be able to love her properly because he had already given much of his love to his first wife.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Ah, not here, not here, what made me happy
Ah, not here, what pleased me before!
All what I liked - flowed away with water.
Ah, not here, what pleased me before!

How to plow without a plow and a horse?
How to plow without seeds?
After all, such plowing is like love,
Like love without kisses.

+++

ORIGINAL LYRICS (SHORTENED):

Ach, není tu, není, co by mě těšilo,
ach, není tu, není, co mě těší,
Co mě těšívalo, vodou uplynulo.
Ach, není, tu není, co mě těší.

Jaké to vorání bez pluhu, bez koní,
jaké to vorání bez koleček?
Takové vorání, jako milování,
jako milování bez hubiček.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

I look at the sky and think:
Why am I not a falcon? Why am I not flying?
Why, God, did you not give me wings?
I would leave the earth and fly into the sky.

Far beyond the clouds, away from the world,
I'd seek for my destiny and for peace
And ask for affection from the sun and the stars,
And drown my longing in their bright radiance.

Indifferent fate does not need me since childhood,
I am just its laborer, a stray boy for it.
I am a stranger to my destiny, a stranger to people.
Who will love a child that is not their own?

ORIGINAL UKRAINIAN LYRICS:

Дивлюсь я на небо та й думку гадаю:
Чому я не сокіл, чому не літаю,
Чому мені, Боже, ти крилець не дав?
Я б землю покинув і в небо злітав.

Далеко за хмари, подальше од світу,
Шукать собі долі, на горе привіту
І ласки у сонця, у зірок просить,
У світлі їх яснім все горе втопить.

Бо долі ще змалку здаюсь я нелюбий,
Я наймит у неї, хлопцюга приблудний;
Чужий я у долі, чужий у людей:
Хіба ж хто кохає нерідних дітей?

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

I was going on a campaign then
To distant lands.
She waved her handkerchief at the gate,
My beloved.

The brave Second Infantry Platoon
Is my family now.
It sends you a greetings-bow,
My beloved.

So that my days rush faster
In campaigns and battles,
Smile at me from afar
My beloved.

There is your photo
In my little pocket.
So, it means that we are always together,
My beloved.

ORIGINAL LYRICS IN RUSSIAN:

Я уходил тогда в поход
В далекие края.
Платком взмахнула у ворот
Моя любимая.

Второй стрелковый храбрый взвод
Теперь моя семья.
Привет-поклон тебе он шлет,
Моя любимая.

Чтоб дни мои быстрей неслись
В походах и боях,
Издалека мне улыбнись,
Моя любимая.

В кармане маленьком моем
Есть карточка твоя.
Так, значит, мы всегда вдвоем,
Моя любимая.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

The postman brought me your letter
And again you ask a question
How do I serve? Who are my friends?
How often do I go to the city?
I would like to tell you
And you explain it to other girls
How much beloved one means in the fate
Of a soldier ... Of a soldier!

The day begins - we have long been in place,
The shadow falls - we're already at the post.
Wether it's raining or wether it's snowing -
Our platoon is on duty.
So the rumble of ominous explosions
Wouldn't scare off your dawn,
They stand at the posts and stand at the rockets -
The soldiers ... The soldiers!

Everything ceases after the "lights out!” command
And again I will stay with you.
The soldiers' beds are standing nearby,
Whispers of the guys are heard.
And I remember the days of spring -
How we met once.
All night good dreams come
To soldiers ... To soldiers!

If suddenly a crazy thunder hits,
Thunderous noise, fire rain,
Our military squad will go
To defend our homeland.
Soldiers will carry away
The scent of freshly-cut birch trees.
The country and love will be protected
by soldiers ... By soldiers!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

At twelve o'clock at night
A drummer rises from a coffin;
He goes back and forth,
He quickly sounds the alarm.
And this drum awakes
The mighty infantry from dark coffins:
There are good fellows of the chasseurs,
There are old men grenadiers,
Rising from under Russian snow,
From magnificent Italian fields,
Rising from African steppes,
From the hot sands of Palestine.
At twelve o'clock at night, At twelve o'clock at night.

At twelve o'clock at night
a trumpeter comes from a tomb;
He gallops back and forth,
And he loudly blows the alarm.
And his trumpet wakes up
Mighty cavalry from dark graves:
Grey-haired hussars rise,
and cuirassiers with big mustaches rise;
And there are squadrons
are flying from north and south.
They are galloping from east and from west,
On spectral horses one after another,
At twelve o'clock at night, At twelve o'clock at night.

At twelve o'clock at night
a General Commander rises from his coffin;
There is a frock coat over his uniform;
He has a small hat and sword
He slowly goes along the rows of his men
riding an old battle horse
And his marshals go behind him,
Also aides-de-camp go behind him;
And the army salutes him.
The commander stops in front of it,
And numerous regiments
pass by him playing music.
At twelve o'clock at night, At twelve o'clock at night.

At twelve o'clock at night,
He gathers all of his Marshals,
And he whispers in the closest one's ear
His password and the slogan.
And they give it to the whole army
The password and the slogan...
"France" was their password!
And "Saint Helena" was their slogan!
At twelve o'clock at night,
Rising from a dark coffin
In front of his old soldiers
Appears the dead Caesar!
At twelve o'clock at night,
At twelve o'clock at night!

В двенадцать часов по ночам
Из гроба встает барабанщик;
И ходит он взад и вперед,
И бьет он проворно тревогу.
И в темных гробах барабан
Могучую будит пехоту:
Встают молодцы егеря,
Встают старики гренадеры,
Встают из-под русских снегов,
С роскошных полей италийских,
Встают с африканских степей,
С горючих песков Палестины.
В двенадцать часов по ночам

В двенадцать часов по ночам
Выходит трубач из могилы;
И скачет он взад и вперед,
И громко трубит он тревогу.
И в темных могилах труба
Могучую конницу будит:
Седые гусары встают,
Встают усачи кирасиры;
И с севера, с юга летят,
С востока и с запада мчатся
На легких воздушных конях
Один за другим эскадроны.
В двенадцать часов по ночам

В двенадцать часов по ночам
Из гроба встает полководец;
На нем сверх мундира сюртук;
Он с маленькой шляпой и шпагой;
На старом коне боевом
Он медленно едет по фронту;
И маршалы едут за ним,
И едут за ним адъютанты;
И армия честь отдает.
Становится он перед нею,
И с музыкой мимо его
Проходят полки за полками.
В двенадцать часов по ночам

В двенадцать часов по ночам
Он маршалов всех собирает
И ближнему на ухо сам
Он шепчет пароль свой и лозунг;
И армии всей отдают
Они тот пароль и тот лозунг:
И Франция тот их пароль,
Тот лозунг Святая Елена.
В двенадцать часов по ночам
Подъемлясь из темного гроба
Так к старым солдатам своим
Является кесарь усопший
В двенадцать часов по ночам
В двенадцать часов по ночам!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Amid the noisy ball, by chance,
In the alarm of worldly vanity,
I saw you, but a mystery
Covered your features.

Just the eyes looked sadly
And the voice sounded so wonderful
Like the ringing of a distant fife,
Like a playing shaft of the sea.

I liked your slim figure
And all your brooding look
And your laugh, both sad and sonorous,
Sounds in my heart since then.

In the hours of lonely nights
I love to lie down tired -
And I dream of the sad eyes,
I hear the cheerful speech.

And sadly I fall asleep
And I sleep in vague dreams ...
Do I love you - I don't know
But it seems to me that I do!

+++

ORIGINAL LYRICS IN RUSSIAN:

Средь шумного бала, случайно,
В тревоге мирской суеты,
Тебя я увидел, но тайна
Твои покрывала черты.

Лишь очи печально глядели,
А голос так дивно звучал,
Как звон отдаленной свирели,
Как моря играющий вал.

Мне стан твой понравился тонкий
И весь твой задумчивый вид,
А смех твой, и грустный и звонкий,
С тех пор в моем сердце звучит.

В часы одинокие ночи
Люблю я, усталый, прилечь —
Я вижу печальные очи,
Я слышу веселую речь;

И грустно я так засыпаю,
И в грезах неведомых сплю…
Люблю ли тебя — я не знаю,
Но кажется мне, что люблю!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
(The original Russian song lyrics contain a lot of "old" Russian language words so the translation below is approximate).

Do not be sad, dear father,
Why are you shedding tears, mother?
Being a soldier is our fate,
Oh, to serve by faith and truth!

To slurp cabbage soup with your boot, father,
And to eat porridge with a bayonet, mother,
A soldier can do everything on a campaign,
Oh, belly is not a trifle!

That soldier is not a soldier, father,
Who is afraid of a bayonet, mother,
The bullet doesn't hit us, the bayonet doesn't pierce us,
Oh, the Russian power is strong!

......................
A soldier can do anything, mother,
And when he sings - the sky is trembling!
Oh, the song is wonderful!

Nightingale, nightingale, little birdie,
Canary-bird sings plaintively.
One sings, two sings, three sings,
Canary-bird sings plaintively.

We will end the war, father,
We will return home, mother,
And we'll play weddings, for sure!
Oh, the girls are tired of waiting!

Nowadays, a soldier, father,
Remembers the glory of the fathers, mother,
I reached Berlin for a reason,
Oh, and let the one who forgot remember!

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Не печалься родной батюшка,
Ты зачем слезы льешь, матушка?
Во солдаты идти - доля наша,
Эх, верой и правдою служить!

Сапогом щи хлебать, батюшка,
Да штыком кашу есть, матушка,
Все умеет солдат во походе,
Эх, пузо - дело не пустяк!

Тот солдат не солдат, батюшка,
Кто боится штыка, матушка,
Пуля нас не берет, штык не колит,
Эх, сила русская крепка!

......................
Может бравый солдат, матушка,
А уж как запоет - небо дрогнет!
Эх, песня чудо хороша!

Соловоей, соловей, пташечка,
Канареечка жалобно поет.
Раз поет, два поет, три поет,
Канареечка жалобно поет.

Отвоюем ужо, батюшка,
Воротимся домой, матушка,
Будем свадьбы играть, знамо дело!
Эх, поди девки заждались!

В наше время солдат, батюшка,
Помнит славу отцов, матушка,
Я недаром дошел до Берлина,
Эх, пусть припомнит, кто забыл!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Oh, you night!
The dark night,
The dark night,
The autumn night.

Who will I spend
This night with?
Who will I stay with
On this autumn night?

I have no father,
And have no mother.
There is only one
Sweet heart friend.

And he lives
Out of tune with me,
He lives out of tune
Not in harmony...

ORIGINAL LYRICS IN RUSSIAN:

Ах ты, ноченька,
Ночка темная,
Ночка темная,
Да ночь осенняя.

С кем я ноченьку,
Ночевать буду?
С кем осеннюю
Коротать буду?

Нет ни батюшки,
Нет ни матушки,
Только есть один
Мил-сердечный друг.

Да и тот со мной
Не в ладу живет,
Не в ладу живет,
Не в согласии.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Once I followed the trail
On the border of the territory,
And I met a girl
Carrying pies.

Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard
Oh, I heard, I heard
And I met a girl
Carrying pies.

My dear girl,
You know my dreams
That I love you,
And pies with cheese as well.

Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard
Oh, I heard, I heard
That I love you,
And pies with cheese as well.

When the girl heard
The Cossack's words and dreams,
Then she immediately invited him
For fresh pies.

Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard
Oh, I heard, I heard
Then she immediately invited him
For fresh pies.

And when the happy time has come
Which they were waiting for -
The girl started kissing me
But I was eating pies.

Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard
Oh, I heard, I heard
The girl started kissing me
But I was eating pies.

And suddenly the hunters appeared -
They weren't enemies
But they took the girl with them
Along with the cheese pies.

Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard
Oh, I heard, I heard
But they took the girl with them
Along with the cheese pies.

The Cossack wept bitterly:
You are the worst enemies!
Leave the girl for yourself -
But give me back the pies.

Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard
Oh, I heard, I heard
Take the girl for yourself -
But give me back the pies...
And with cheese!

ORIGINAL UKRAINIAN LYRICS:

Ішов я раз по стежі,
По межі терени,
І здибав я дівчину,
Що несла пироги.

Ой, чула, чула, чула,
Ой, чула, чула я,
І здибав я дівчину,
Що несла пироги.

Дівча, моя хороша,
Чи знаєш мої сни,
Що я тебе кохаю,
Із сиром пироги.

Ой, чула, чула, чула,
Ой, чула, чула я,
Що я тебе кохаю,
Із сиром пироги.

Дівчино як зочула
Козацькі мрії-сни
Відразу запросила
На свіжі пироги.

Ой, чула, чула, чула,
Ой, чула, чула я,
Відразу запросила
На свіжі пироги.

І як вони діждались
Щасливої пори -
Дiвча мене цілує,
А я їм пироги.

Ой, чула, чула, чула,
Ой, чула, чула я,
Дiвча його цiлує,
А вiн їсть пироги.

(Та раптом із-за лісу
Взялися вороги
Козак із переляку
Сховався у бур'яни!

Ой, чули, чули, чули,
Ой, чули, чули ви,
Козак із переляку
Сховався у бур'яни!)

А то були мисливцi -
Нiякi вороги,
Взяли собі дiвчину,
Iз сиром пироги.

Ой, чула, чула, чула,
Ой, чула, чула я,
Взяли собі дiвчину,
Iз сиром пироги.

Козак гірко заплакав:
О, люті вороги,
Візьміть собі дiвчину -
Вiддайте пироги.

Ой, чула, чула, чула,
Ой, чула, чула я,
Візьміть собі дiвчину -
Вiддайте пироги.
Iз сиром!

Kalinka - Yevgeny Belyaev and The Alexandrov Red Army Choir (1975)

Leonid Kharitonov (Леонид Харитонов) 2021-03-25 | The Russian folk song "Kalinka" (or "Kalinka-malinka") performed by Yevgeny Belyaev (tenor) and the Alexandrov Red Army Choir.

This song was considered to be a Russian folk song for quite a long time. In fact, the song lyrics and music were written in 1860 by the composer, writer and folklorist Ivan Petrovich Larionov and the song was first performed on an amateur stage in Saratov in a play for which he wrote the music. And soon at the request of the famous singer and creator of the folk song choir Agrenev-Slavyansky, Larionov put this song into the choir's repertoire. So the popularity of the "Kalinka" song began with the Slavyansky Choir.

The song gained world fame in the arrangement of the composer and conductor, the People's Artist of the USSR, Professor Alexander Vasilyevich Aleksandrov (1883-1946). And since that time and up till now the song was widely performed abroad by the Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble.

This is a clip from the musical movie "When soldiers sing" about Boris Alexandrov and the Alexandrov Red Army Choir, 1975.

We are the Red Cavalry
And about us
Eloquent chroniclers
Lead their story -
How on clear nights
How on rainy days
We proudly and boldly go into battles!

Chorus:
Budyonny, lead us boldly into the battle!
Let the thunder rumble
Let there be fire around, fire all around.
We are all selfless heroes
And our whole life is a struggle!

Budyonny is our brother
All the people are with us.
Order - Do not lower heads
And look ahead!
After all, Voroshilov is with us -
The first Red Officer,
We'll be able to shed blood for the USSR!

Chorus (x2)

О том, как в дни ненастные
Мы гордо и смело в бой идём!

Припев:
Веди, Будённый, нас смелее в бой!
Пусть гром гремит,
Пускай пожар кругом, пожар кругом.
Мы беззаветные герои все,
И вся-то наша жизнь есть борьба.

Будённый — наш братишка,
С нами весь народ.
Приказ — голов не вешать
И глядеть вперёд!
Ведь с нами Ворошилов,
Первый красный офицер,
Сумеем кровь пролить за СССР!

Troika - Yevgeny Belyaev & The Red Army Choir (1968)

Leonid Kharitonov (Леонид Харитонов) 2021-02-25 | The coachman's song "Troika rushes, troika gallops" (or just "Troika") performed by Yevgeny Belyaev (tenor), the People's Artist of the Soviet Union and the soloist of the Twice Red Banner Song and Dance Ensemble of the Soviet Army named after A.V. Alexandrov. This is a clip from the New Year musical TV show "Blue Light". Central Television of the USSR, 1968.

This song is from the series of the coachmen's songs which were very popular in Russia before the revolution. According to some reports, more than a hundred of them were written. The poem of this particular song was written by Prince Pyotr Andreevich Vyazemsky, a nobleman and a friend of the famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. It was first published in 1832 or in 1834. Initially, the poem was called “Another Troika” and was created as an answer to another poem written by Fyodor Glinka called “Troika” (“Here’s the mail Troika rushing”), also about coachmen. One can say that it was sort of a battle between the famous poets of that time.

There were several composers who wrote the music for this poem. Among them were: in 1857 - A. Dubyuk, in 1865 - Pavel Bulakhov, in 1876 - A. Katenin, in 1913 - P. Karasev. But it's so happened that the most popular among the people was the melody created by the composer Pavel Petrovich Bulakhov, who was also the famous singer of the St. Petersburg imperial troupe during those times.

Troika rushes, troika gallops,
Dust is curling from beneath the hooves.
The bell cries
Then it laughs and rings.

Refrain:
Riding, riding, riding to her,
He's riding to the beloved one.

Here is a large village in the distance -
My coachman got excited at once.
And he started to sing
A sonorous song at the same moment.

Refrain:

Ding, ding, ding ... and the troika stopped,
The coachman jumped off his seat,
The beautiful girl ran up
And started kissing the coachman!

Тройка мчится тройка скачет,
Вьется пыль из-под копыт.
Колокольчик звонко заплачет,
То хохочет, то звенит.

Припев:
Едет, едет, едет к ней,
Едет к любушке своей.

Вот вдали село большое –
Сразу ожил мой ямщик.
Песней звонкой, удалою
Залился он в тот же миг.

Припев:

Динь, динь, динь… и тройка встала,
Ямщик спрыгнул с облучка,
Красна девка подбежала
И целует ямщика!

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

There in the distance, behind the river
The lights were turning on
In the clear sky the dawn was burning out.
Hundred young fighters
From the Budyonnov's troops
Rode in the fields for reconnaissance.

And the fearless squad
Galloped to the enemy.
A bloody battle ensued.
And a young fighter
Suddenly lowered his head -
The Komsomol heart was holed.

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Там вдали, за рекой
Зажигались огни,
В небе ясном заря догорала.
Сотня юных бойцов
Из буденновских войск
На разведку в поля поскакала.

И бесстрашно отряд
Поскакал на врага.
Завязалась кровавая битва.
И боец молодой
Вдруг поник головой —
Комсомольское сердце пробито.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

There is a cliff on the Volga river covered with wild moss
From its top to its bottom
And it stands there for hundreds of years covered with moss
Knowing neither need nor care.

Nothing grows on the top of it
Just the free wind floats around
A mighty eagle made his hideout there
And there it torments its victims.

Only one man among all others was on that cliff
Only he was able to get to the top
And the cliff didn't forget this man
And from then on it was called by the mans name.

A lot of thoughts were born in his head.
He thought of many things that night.
And under the sound of the waves,
In the midst of the silent night
He planned a great thing...

And that cliff is still there and it still keeps
All the cherished thoughts of Stepan (Razin)
And along with only the Volga river it remembers sometimes
The glorious living of the rebel leader

+++++

Есть на Волге утёс, диким мохом оброс
Он с вершины до самого края.
И стоит сотни лет, только мохом одет,
Ни нужды, ни заботы не зная.

На вершине его не растет ничего
Только ветер свободный гуляет.
Там могучий орел свой притон там завел
И на нем свои жертвы терзает.

Из людей лишь один на утёсе том был,
Лишь один до вершины добрался.
И утёс человека того не забыл,
И с тех пор его именем звался.

Много дум в голове родилось у него.
Много дум он в ту ночь передумал.
И под говор волны, средь ночной тишины
Он великое дело задумал…

И поныне стоит тот утёс и хранит
Все заветные думы Степана,
И лишь с Волгой одной вспоминает порой
Удалое житьё атамана.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Once a dark-eyed Cossack girl
Shod my horse.
She asked for a small amount of money
not highly valuing her work.
"What's your name, young lady?"
And the young lady replies:
"You'll hear my name
In the clatter of your horse's hooves."

I rode along the street,
I galloped the roads,
And along the path among brown rocks,
And among gray rocks.
"Masha? Zina? Dasha? Nina?.."
None seem to be her name.
"Katya! Katya!" - was sounded to me
By my racer's horseshoes.

And since that time, whether I ride
Or whether I gallop -
"Katya, Katya, Katerina..."
I diligently whisper.
What a muddle-head I am!
Because I have another girlfriend!
But I cannot get Katya, like a song,
Out from my soul, brother!

Once a dark-eyed Cossack girl
Shod my horse.
She asked for a small amount of money
Not highly valuing her work.
What's your name, young lady?
And the young lady replies:
"You'll hear my name
In the clatter of your horse's hooves."
"You'll hear my name
In the clatter of your horse's hooves."

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Черноглазая казачка
Подковала мне коня.
Серебро с меня спросила,
Труд недорого ценя.
Как зовут тебя, молодка?
А молодка говорит:
Имя ты мое услышишь
Из под топота копыт.

Я по улице поехал,
По дороге поскакал.
По тропинке между бурых,
Между серых, между скал.
Маша, Зина, Даша, Нина ?
Все как будто не она.
Катя, Катя высекают
Мне подковы скакуна.

С той поры хоть шагом еду,
Хоть галопом поскачу,
Катя, Катя, Катерина,
Неустанно я шепчу.
Что за бестолочь такая,
У меня ж другая есть!
Ну, а Катю, словно песню,
Из груди брат не известь.

Черноглазая казачка
Подковала мне коня.
Серебро с меня спросила,
Труд недорого ценя.
Как зовут тебя, молодка?
А молодка говорит:
Имя ты мое услышишь
Из под топота копыт.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Why are you depressed, Vasya,
Lowered his head?
Your clear eyes now look dim,
Frowning, unhappy...

You used to go into battles with jokes
What happened suddenly to you,
Vasya Vasilyochek?
Oh, dear! Oh, Vasya-Vasilyok! Oh...

Refrain:
Sadness doesn't suit the soldier
Do not let your grief overcome you
Even if there's a reason
Never be depressed
Do not let grief get inside
Never be depressed!
Do not be depressed!

For almost five weeks already
There is no letter from the post.
You see, my bro,
My heart wants some endearment!

Beating the enemy is a different matter -
It's better done jokingly.
If there's no letter from your sweetheart -
Then your thoughts are darker.
Oh, dear! Oh, Vasya-Vasilyok! Oh...

Refrain

But if she is not going to write
Then she has forgotten me
Then I shall understand
That she has never loved me.

Why are you, Vasya, my big friend,
Torching yourself that way?
If she loves you with all her heart,
Then you'll get good news!
Oh, dear! Oh, Vasya-Vasilyok! Oh...

Refrain

Keep our shoulders close to each other!
Our friendship will stay!
If your heart is hot,
Then you'll find a girl for you!
And if today it hurts don't be sad,
Tomorrow will be your day!
Hold your head high,
Vasya-Vasilyochek!
Oh, dear! Oh, Vasya-Vasilyok! Oh...

Refrain

RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Что ж ты Вася приуныл,
Голову повесил,
Ясны очи замутил,
Хмуришься, не весел?..

С прибауткой шуткой в бой
Хаживал, дружочек
Что случилось вдруг с тобой,
Вася-Василечек,
Ой, милок! Ой, Вася-Василек! Эх!..

Припев:
Не к лицу бойцу кручина,
Места горю не давай!
Если даже есть причина -
Никогда не унывай!
Места горю не давай,
Никогда не унывай! Не унывай!

Письмеца недель пяток
Почта не приносит.
Понимаешь ли, браток,
Сердце ласки просит!

Бить врага - вопрос другой
С шуткой веселее!
Нет письма от дорогой -
Думушки темнее.
Ой, милок, Ой, Вася-Василек! Эх!..

Припев

Не захочет написать, -
Значит, позабыла!
Значит, надо понимать,
Вовсе не любила.

Что ты, Вася, друг большой,
Зря себя так мучишь?
Если любит всей душой -
Весточку получишь!
Ой, милок, Ой, Вася-Василек! Эх!

Припев

Прижимай к плечу плечо
Дружба остается!
Если сердце горячо -
Девушка найдется!
Нынче больно - не тужи,
Завтра твой денечек!
Выше голову держи,
Вася-Василечек!
Ой, милок, Ой, Вася-Василек! Эх!

Припев

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

In the coastal vines,
On the high steep slopes
We loved and grew up.
Oh, Dnieper, Dnieper!
You are broad and powerful!
The cranes are flying over you.

The enemy attacked us,
We left the Dnieper.
The deathly battle thundered
Like a storm.
Oh, Dnieper, Dnieper!
You are flowing far away,
And your waves are
Like tears.

You saw the battle,
Dnieper-Father River,
We went on the attack
Under the mountain.
He who died for the Dnieper,
Will live forever,
Since he fought
Like a hero.

+++

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

У прибрежных лоз, у высоких круч
И любили мы и росли.
Ой, Днипро, Днипро! Ты широк, могуч,
Над тобой летят журавли.

Враг напал на нас, мы с Днепра ушли.
Смертный бой гремел, как гроза.
Ой, Днипро, Днипро! Ты течёшь вдали,
И волна твоя Как слеза.

Ты увидел бой, Днепр-отец река,
Мы в атаку шли под горой.
Кто погиб за Днепр, будет жить веках,
Коль сражался он как герой!

The country of the nationwide right
To the joy and happiness of people!

For its life and freedom

Defeated enemies in battles!

Over the beloved land
Flow the joyful song

The Lenin's wise testaments.

Along the way of happiness and light.

And the heroic forces are countless
In the country of the nationwide brotherhood,
Where labor is valor and honor.

Да здравствует наша держава -

Врагов побеждала в бою!

Над Москвою чудесной,
Над любимой землей
Лейся радостная песня
По нашей стране молодой.
Вейся красное знамя -

По ленинским мудрым заветам
Идет наш великий народ.
Дорогою счастья и света
Нас партия твердо ведет.
Несметны республик богатства,
И сил богатырских не счесть
В стране всенародного братства,
Где труд - это доблесть и честь.

Припев.

TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

One day in the summer at dawn
I looked into the neighboring garden
There a dark-skinned Moldavian girl
Was collecting grapes.
I blushed, I turned pale
I suddenly wanted to say to her:
"Let's go to the river
And meet the summer dawns!"

Refrain:
Green curly maple tree, carved leaf,
I'm in love and embarrassed about you
Green maple, and curly maple,
Curly all over and carved one!

And the dark-skinned Moldavian girl
Answered the guy in a way:
"We are assembling
A Moldavian Partisan detachment.
The partisans left their homes
Early this morning, -
This path will lead you
To the partisans in a deep forest."

Refrain:
Green curly maple tree, carved leaf,
We'll part with you here at the maple tree!
Green maple, and curly maple,
Curly all over and carved one!

And the dark-skinned Moldavian girl
Went along the path to the forest.
And I felt hurt about that
That she did't invite me to join her.
Every night I thought about
The dark-skinned Moldavian girl.
Finally I met my dark-skinned one
In the Partisan detachment!

Refrain:
Green curly maple tree, carved leaf,
Hello, boy! My good one, my dear!
Green maple, and curly maple,
Curly all over and carved one!

ORIGINAL TEXT IN RUSSIAN:

Как-то летом на рассвете
Заглянул в соседний сад,
Там смуглянка-молдаванка
Собирает виноград.
Я краснею, я бледнею,
Захотелось вдруг сказать:
"Станем над рекою
Зорьки летние встречать!"

Припев:
Раскудрявый клен зеленый, лист резной,
Я влюбленный и смущенный пред тобой,
Клен зеленый, да клен кудрявый,
Да раскудрявый, резной!

А смуглянка-молдаванка
Отвечала парню в лад:
"Партизанский молдаванский
Собираем мы отряд.
Нынче рано партизаны
Дом покинули родной,—
Ждет тебя дорога
К партизанам в лес густой".

Припев:
Раскудрявый клен зеленый, лист резной,
Здесь у клена мы расстанемся с тобой!
Клен зеленый, да клен кудрявый,
Да раскудрявый, резной!

И смуглянка-молдаванка
По тропинке в лес ушла.
В том обиду я увидел,
Что с собой не позвала.
О смуглянке-молдаванке
Часто думал по ночам...
Вновь свою смуглянку
Я в отряде повстречал!

Припев:
Раскудрявый клен зеленый, лист резной,
Здравствуй, парень, мой хороший, мой родной!
Клен зеленый, да клен кудрявый,
Да раскудрявый. резной!

TRANSLATION OF THE SONG:

The dawn is lit up
Above the blue river,
The northern evening is cool,
But I feel warm with you.

Refrain:
Whether cheerful or sad -
You are always good!
Like our Russian song,
Like a Russian soul!

Living with you without grief
For many years,
Living with you, the blue-eyed,
We will be always all right.

We will ride our wedding horses
Along the street very soon.
You will be my companion in life
And my song.

Refrain:

The dawn is lit up

The northern evening is cool,
But I feel warm with you.

RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Зажглась заря вечерняя
Над речкой голубой,
Прохладен вечер северный,
А мне тепло с тобой -

Припев: Веселая и грустная,
Всегда ты хороша,
Как наша песня русская
Как русская душа!

С тобою годы долгие
Без горя проживешь,
С тобою, синеокая,
Нигде не пропадешь.

Припев:

Погоним скоро улицей
Мы свадебных коней.
Ты станешь в жизни спутницей
И песнею моей.

Зажглась заря вечерняя
Над речкой голубой,
Прохладен вечер северный,
А мне тепло с тобой.

Всегда ты хороша,
Как наша песня русская,
Как русская душа.

The Partisan Song - The Alexandrov Red Army Choir (1948)

Leonid Kharitonov (Леонид Харитонов) 2020-11-03 | "The Partisan Song" - The Alexandrov Red Army Choir (1948)

The popular military march from the times of the Civil War “In the valleys and on the hills” (other names: “The Partisan Song”, “The Partisan Anthem”, “The March of the Far Eastern Partisans”) performed by the choir of the Red Banner Song and Dance Ensemble of the Soviet Army named after A.V. Alexandrov.
Music - unknown author, possibly Dmitry Pokrass, lyrics - P.S. Parfyonov, S.Ya. Alymov. Conductor - Boris Alexandrov.
The drummer is Jacob Raikhman.
Subtitles - English, Russian and Transliteration (Russian Latin).

This video recording was made in the building of the Big Opera named after May 5th in Prague during the tour of the Ensemble to Czechoslovakia in June-July 1948.

The song tells about the battles of the Red Army with the troops of the Amur Provisional Government in the area of Spassk, Volochaevk and Vladivostok cities in the final period of the Civil War.

However, it is believed that for the first time it sounded based on the lyrics written by Vladimir Gilyarovsky in 1915 and it had the initial name - the “March of the Siberian Shooters”. And those shooters sang it in the first years of the World War 1, leaving for war. There were several other lyrics variations based on the melody of this march during the Civil War:
- The White Guard March of the Drozdovsky Regiment (1918)
- The Anarchy Anthem of the Makhnovists (1919)
- The March of the Far Eastern partisans (1922)
- The Song of the Volunteers of the ROA (1943)

In 1929 A.V. Alexandrov and the Red Army Ensemble included "The Partisan Song" in their repertoire, while Parfyonov’s lyrics was edited by the songwriter Sergei Alymov. But in 1934, a collective article appeared in the Izvestia newspaper, which indicated the name of the true author of the lyrics - Pyotr Semenovich Parfyonov. The author of the melody was declared as the Red Army commander of one of the units of the Ukrainian military district Ilya Aturov, since A.V.Alexandrov personally heard the song's melody from him but in fact that wasn't true.

This melody has become an anthem of the struggle for Mother Russia as for the Siberian shooters, as for the White Army, and as for the Red Army as well, and even for the Makhno's army as the Anarchy anthem. It all turned out very symbolically - the Motherland is one for all and the melody is the same for everyone, but only the words are different...

THE TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

In the valleys and on the hills
The division was moving forward
To capture Primorye in a battle -
The stronghold of the White Army.

The Banners poured
With the red color of the last wounds,
The dashing squadrons
Of the Amur partisans were marching!

The glory of those years
Will never fade away!
The partisan squads
Conquered cities and towns.

It'll stay like a fairy tale
Like alluring lights
The assault nights of Spassk,
Those Volochaev days.

They defeated the chieftains,
They dispersed their leaders
And at the Pacific Ocean
They finished their campaign.

LYRICS IN RUSSIAN:

По долинам и по взгорьям
Шла дивизия вперед,
Чтобы с бою взять Приморье –
Белой армии оплот.

Наливалися знамена
Кумачом последних ран,
Шли лихие эскадроны
Приамурских партизан.

Этих лет не смолкнет слава,
Не померкнет никогда!
Партизанские отряды
Занимали города.

И останутся, как сказка,
Как манящие огни,
Штурмовые ночи Спасска,
Волочаевские дни.

Разгромили атаманов,
Разогнали воевод
И на Тихом океане
Свой закончили поход.

TRANSLATION OF THE SONG:

Oh, you wide steppe,
The immense steppe!
You, mother steppe,
Stretched so wide!

Oh, this is not a steppe eagle
Rising.
That is the Don Cossack
Walking around.

Oh, don’t fly, eagle,
Low to the ground.
Oh, don’t walk, Cossack,
Close to the riverside.

RUSSIAN LYRICS:

Ой, ты, степь широкая,
Степь раздольная,
Широко ты, матушка,
Протянулася.

Ой, да не степной орел
Подымается,
То донской казак
Разгуляется.

Ой, да не летай, орел,
Низко ко земле.
Ой, да не гуляй, казак,
Близко к берегу.
