Черны очи видели - Через поле вброд Там на встречу, издали, Паренек идет. Припев: Ой ты, рожь, Хорошо поешь! Ты о чем поешь, Золотая рожь? Счастье повстречается - Мимо не пройдешь, Ой ты, рожь! С неба льется музыка, Ветерок звенит. На тропинке узенькой Встретились они, Обойти друг друга ли - Колоски помнешь... А глаза, как уголья, Что там - не поймешь! Припев. Видно, счастье поровну Поделить смогли. Оба в одну сторону, Обнявшись, пошли. Рожь шумит, качается, Не видать следа. Вот ведь как случается В жизни иногда! Припев.
Russian Red Army Choir - Kalinka lmj22 2008-09-11 | Russian Red Army Choir - Kalinka. "Kalinka" might be the best-known Russian song of all time. It has been mistaken as being a genuine folksong, but was actually written in 1860 by the composer and folklorist Ivan Petrovich Larionov and first performed in Saratov as part of a theatrical entertainment that he had composed. Soon it was added to the repertory of a folk choral group. The song celebrates a snowball tree, with a speedy tempo and light-hearted lyrics. Singers and dancers many a time get into a frenzied celebration of song and dance while performing this song. The actual content of the song cannot be translated, as it possesses many Russian expressions and words that can hold a double meaning and have no equivalent in other languages. In 2003, Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea FC. Since then, "Kalinka" has been associated with the London based Football Club and is often played before or after important matches.
