    Mother Russia, how are you sleeping
    Middle winter, cold winds blow
    From the trees the snowflakes drifting
    Swirling round like ghosts in the snow

    Mother Russia, poetry majestic
    Tells the time of a great empire
    Turning round the old man ponders
    Reminiscing an age gone by

    Mother Russia
    Dance of the czars
    Hold up your heads
    Be proud of what you are
    Now it has come
    Freedom at last
    Turning the tides of history
    And your past

    Mother Russia
    Dance of the stars
    Hold up your heads
    Remember who you are
    Can you release
    The anger the grief
    Can you be happy
    Now your people are free

    Moscow Nights

    Translation by University of Pittsburgh Department of Slavic Languages

    Even whispers aren't heard in the garden,
    Everything has died down till morning.
    If you only knew how dear to me
    Are these Moscow nights.

    The river moves, unmoving,
    All in silver moonlight.
    A song is heard, yet unheard,
    In these silent nights.

    Why do you, dear, look askance,
    With your head lowered so?
    It is hard to express, and hard to hold back,
    Everything that my heart holds.

    But the dawn's becoming ever brighter.
    So please, just be good.
    Don't you, too, forget
    These summer, Moscow nights.



    Podmoskovnye vechera

    Ne slyshny v sadu dazhe shorokhi,
    Vsyo zdes' zamerlo do utra.
    Esli b znali vy, kak mne dorogi
    Podmoskovnye vechera.
    Rechka dvizhetsya i ne dvizhetsya,
    Vsya iz lunnogo serebra.
    Pesnya slysh.itsya i ne slysh.itsya
    V eti tikhie vechera.

    Chto zh by, milaya, smotrish' iskosa,
    Nizko golovu naklonyaya?
    Trudno vyskazat' i ne vyskazat'
    Vsyo, chto na serdtse u menya.

    A rassvet uzhe vsyo zametnee.
    Tak, pozhaluysta, bud' dobra.
    Ne zabud' i ty eti letnie
    Podmoskovnye vechera.



    Подмосковные вечера

    Не слышны в саду даже шорохи,
    Всё здесь замерло до утра.
    Если б знали вы, как мне дороги
    Подмосковные вечера.
    Речка движется и не движется,
    Вся из лунного серебра.
    Песня слышится и не слышится
    В эти тихие вечера.

    Что ж бы, милая, смотришь искоса,
    Низко голову наклоняя?
    Трудно высказать и не высказать
    Всё, что на сердце у меня.

    А рассвет уже всё заметнее.
    Так, пожалуйста, будь добра.
    Не забудь и ты эти летние
    Подмосковные вечера.

    Ural Rowan Tree

    Translation by Katya

    Such a soft song, night above the river floats
    Factory gleams in a far-away light
    Somewhere a train is riding; spots of fire
    Somewhere under the rowan tree, boys are waiting for me

    Oh curly rowan tree, flowers so white
    Oh my little rowan tree, why are you grieving now?

    As soon as the signing buzzing goes mute over the water
    To the rowan tree I’m heading by the steep path
    Under the curly tree the wind tousles
    The curls of the turner on the right, curls of the blacksmith on the left

    Oh curly rowan tree, flowers so white
    Oh my little rowan tree, why are you grieving now?

    At day, our brief encounters at the workshop are so intense
    But meeting at night, we sit in silence
    Summer stars are gazing at the boys
    And they won’t tell me, who of them is nicer

    Oh curly rowan tree, flowers so white
    Oh my little rowan tree, why are you grieving now?

    Who of them is most desirable, whose hand I should press
    With my anxious heart, I just can’t understand
    Both of them are valiant, both are handsome
    Dear rowan tree, will you advice my heart

    Oh my little rowan tree, both of them are handsome
    Oh my little rowan tree, would you advice my heart



    Ural'skaya ryabinushka

    Vecher tikhoy pesneyu nad rekoy plyvet,
    Dal'nimi zarnitsami svetitsya zavod,
    Gde-to poezd katitsya tochkami ognya,
    Gde-to pod ryabinushkoy parni zhdut menya.

    Oy, ryabina kudryavaya, belye tsvety,
    Oy, ryabina, ryabinushka, chto vzgrustnula ty.

    Lish' gudki pevuchie smolknut nad vodoy,
    Ya idu k ryabinushke tropkoyu krutoy.
    Treplet pod kudryavoyu veter bez kontsa
    Sprava kudri tokarya, sleva - kuznetsa.

    Oy, ryabina kudryavaya, belye tsvety,
    Oy, ryabina, ryabinushka, chto vzgrustnula ty.

    Dnyom v tsekhu korotkie vstrechi goryachi,
    A soydemsya vecherom - syadem i molchim.
    Smotryat zvyozdy letnie molcha na parney,
    I ne skazhut yasnye, kto iz nikh miley.

    Oy, ryabina kudryavaya, belye tsvety,
    Oy, ryabina, ryabinushka, chto vzgrustnula ty.

    Kto iz nikh zhelannee, ruku szhat' komu,
    Serdtsem rastrevozhennym tak i ne poymu.
    Oba parnya smelye, oba khoroshi,
    Milaya ryabinushka, serdtsu podskazhi.

    Oy, ryabina, ryabinushka, oba khoroshi
    Oy, ryabina, ryabinushka, serdtsu podskazhi.



    Уральская рябинушка

    Вечер тихой песнею над рекой плывет,
    Дальними зарницами светится завод,
    Где-то поезд катится точками огня,
    Где-то под рябинушкой парни ждут меня.

    Ой, рябина кудрявая, белые цветы,
    Ой, рябина, рябинушка, что взгрустнула ты.

    Лишь гудки певучие смолкнут над водой,
    Я иду к рябинушке тропкою крутой.
    Треплет под кудрявою ветер без конца
    Справа кудри токаря, слева - кузнеца.

    Ой, рябина кудрявая, белые цветы,
    Ой, рябина, рябинушка, что взгрустнула ты.

    Днём в цеху короткие встречи горячи,
    А сойдемся вечером - сядем и молчим.
    Смотрят звёзды летние молча на парней,
    И не скажут ясные, кто из них милей.

    Ой, рябина кудрявая, белые цветы,
    Ой, рябина, рябинушка, что взгрустнула ты.

    Кто из них желаннее, руку сжать кому,
    Сердцем растревоженным так и не пойму.
    Оба парня смелые, оба хороши,
    Милая рябинушка, сердцу подскажи.

    Ой, рябина, рябинушка, оба хороши
    Ой, рябина, рябинушка, сердцу подскажи.

    Russian title: Кони привередливые (Koni priveredlivye)

    Fastidious horses by Vladimir Vysotsky


    [​IMG]



    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtjzVievnXQ"]YouTube - Vysotsky «Кони привередливые» (Capricious horses)[/ame]

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shi_TBr_TbI&NR"]YouTube - Высоцкий - Кони[/ame]



    Fastidious horses

    Along the ledge of the abyss, on the very edge of it,
    I lash my horses out, urging them on...
    Running out of air, I drink the wind, I swallow the fog,
    I feel with a (*)(*)(*)(*)ed extasy that I am done for, done for!

    Slow down a bit, my horses, slow down!
    Don't listen to the tight whip!
    But I got some fastidious horses -
    I didn't finish living, now my song will be cut short.

    I will let my horses drink,
    I will finish my verse -
    For a moment, at least, I will stand
    on the edge....

    When I am gone - the hurricane will sweep me, a snowflake off the palm,
    And horses will pull my sleigh at full speed on the snow that morning,
    Pace yourselves, my horses,
    Lengthen the way to my last shelter, even for a little bit!

    Slow down, my horses, slow down!
    The whip is not your overseer!
    But I got some fastidious horses -
    I didn't finish living, now my song will be cut short.

    I will let my horses drink,
    I will finish my verse -
    For a moment, at least, I will stand
    on the edge....

    We've come in time: there is no such thing as being late for God, -
    Why do then those angels sing so viciously?
    Or is it a bluebell that grew numb from sobbing?
    Or is it me, crying for the horses not to carry the sleigh so fast?!



    Slow down a bit, my horses, slow down!
    I beg you, do not tear away at such mad pace!
    But I got some fastidious horses -
    I didn't live enough, at least I should finish my song!

    I will let my horses drink,
    I will finish my verse -
    For a moment, at least, I will stand
    on the edge....

    Yes, I do. In 1990. I know what you're trying to tell me. Nevertheless, the song is excellent :-D
