Music #51 - some Russian songs

Some Russian songs


El Ukhnem / Song of the Volga Boatmen 


Moscow Night - an enchanting and unforgettable night, the only night a couple in love can offer one another, bathing in romance and anticipating nostalgia.


Otschi Tschornije ("Dark Eyes") - this Russian Folksong tells the story of how that girl with the black flashing eyes makes a man lose his head with one glance; of how that man adores her in the beginning, and curses her at the end.

Lutshje Bulo ("It would be better") - Russian (Ukrainian, actually) Folk Song - Gritsu goes to a party, although he was advised not to. Of course he falls in love with the most beautiful girl there. The next day, reality hits and he looks at her through completely different eyes. He wonders how and when he can break up with her.
