  • I actually heard him for the first time from the movie 'White nights'. My mother was a big fan of his as well

  • trully poignant

  • Comment removed

  • Regina did it again, hahaaaaah!

  • Just on time - one can't be late arriving at God's quarters! Why do the angels over there sound like some nasty mortals? Or, perhaps, it's just a sleigh-bell that's gone mad and burst out sobbing, Or it's me shouting at my steeds to slow down my sled from dashing.

  • Slow down a bit my horses, slow down, please! Don't take orders from my whip and thong! But the horses -- just my luck! -- are so hard to please! Neither lived I so long, nor will I finish this song... I will let horses drink, I'll complete this refrain, Just a little bit more I will stay on the brink... 

  • But the horses -- just my luck! -- are so hard to please! Neither lived I so long, nor will I finish this song... I will let horses drink, I'll complete this refrain, Just a little bit more I will stay on the brink... I will vanish from the Earth, swept by a storm like fluffy feather; At a gallop, in the morning by the snow they'll drag me over Can't you please prolong my journey to the end of my tether? Can't you ease your dash, my horses, carry on a little slower?

  • By the cliff, along the precipice, right over deadly ground, With the whip, I strike my steeds; strike them hard to urge them forward. I am getting short on air, gulp the haze, drink the wind, yet With a fatal rapture, sensing: I am done for, I am done for! Slow down a bit my horses, slow down, please! Don't you listen to my stinging thong! 

  • Great song! thank's Regina, you got a good taste in music

  • Nice one Regina!

  • The Russian SRV! ;D

  • thumbs up if the lovely Regina Spektor sent you here!

  • @Mithrohir

    Fuck that. Regina Spektor can't touch him.

  • @Mithrohir did she cover this?

  • @ioet not that i know of, she just liked him and shared the video with her fans via her fb account.

    and @ILostMyBonnie , no one's comparing Regina with Mr. Vysotsky. she, being russian, shared an artist whom, i'm guessing, she admires, with the rest of us. I can't speak for others, but otherwise I might have never listened to him if it hadn't been for Regina's post. So, cheers!

  • są poeci, których nikt nie zastąpi... może gdyby nie tragiczny los i czasy, w których żył nie byłby tak wielki... pamiętam

  • 1:55 his guitar asks for pity

  • eh volodya, volodya...

  • Этой песней Высотский прощался с творчеством, со своими планами,с жизнью...Ужасная драма.

  • suuuupeeeer

  • тежолая песня!

  • d( ̄◇ ̄)b good!

  • tema... tema...

  • absolutely brilliant! the quintessential russian.

  • beginning translation: Along the chasm's edge, upon the precipice's brink

    I urge my horses onward, I coerce them whiplash flying.

    I'm somehow short of breath, I gulp the air, the wind I drink...

    I'm gripped with mortal ecstasy: I'm dying, oh, I'm dying!

  • prosto super!!!!!!!!!

  • too bad he died so young. Was reading that the soviet government wouldn't jail him or anything like that because he had such a strong underground following.

  • similar to Arik Einstein! Good! :)

  • Володя, 4ever!!!!

  • Fantastic!
