Very good song! It is good that it became known through Tetris but also a pity, since such song is connected with computer games, since there are so many good songs in russian folk songs.
@Itoyokofan No, no, he didn't sell everything. He's still got all the stuff in his box -- it just *feels* light because of how happy he is after his meeting with her and what happened during the meeting. ^^
when i 1st heard the tetris theme im like "this sounds like folk song.." well i heard the brawl version im like "..Russian Folk" so i did some reading and was like "..oh my" and yea >:D haha wow RUssia >:D
BTW, this is not literally a folk song, the authors are well known. This is a 19-century poem by Nikolai Nekrasov (one of Russia's best poets of all time), with music created later by Yakov Prigozhyi.
My mouth had a stroke trying to sing this. I love Russian, but its so hard to learn. So many odd pronounciations and such. Especially all the tempo changes in the music.
@Eliteyatsu well we lived in the American sector... not in the russian... so it´s more likely that my grandmother hat sex with a GI ... but who cares ...
No, because the "i" we transliterate onto the word is the Russian letter "и" which is used to make words plural. Korobushka means "crate." "Korobeinik" means "peddler." Thus, "Korobushki" means "crates" and "Korobeiniki" means "peddlers."
I have no idea while it has two names, but "peddlers" makes much more sense than "crate."
The song starts with a line "oh, my crate is full..." (referring to a shallow box or tray full of goods for sale). That's why the song is sometimes called "crates" and not its proper name "peddlers".
Ι was playing tetris as a kiddo, about 17-18 years ago. for the last 2-3 years, i got interested in folk music. and now, i find this song. thanks a lot for uploading it!
@drakeTM1 shiiiiit no. prepare to lose/waste years of your life if you go through with it. i tried, couldn't get through a year of classes. still love the language though. just didn't love learning it.
@Usmaman07 all languages significantly different to your own are difficult to learn really. An English speaker will find Dutch is fairly easy to learn (in fact certain phrases are the same in both languages) but would find Arabic considerably more difficult.
This song will never get boring. It's too awesome . . . If you're Russian, you'd feel the pride while hearing this. And if you're not, welcome to the family anyway!
@Memington Maybe thats your opinion,if i thought that was a shitty song I would have clearly stated that it is a shitty song.To me it is wonderfull . . . to you it is shitty.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ( and in the ears for sure )
@Tokarev2009 Nyet, nyet, nyet. Korobeiniki--original Russian folksong. Tetris--game with falling blocks designed and programmed by a Russian named Alexey Pajitnov. Tetris Theme A--the music from the Gameboy version of Tetris, an arranged version of Korobeiniki by Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka (a Japanese guy); Hip-san is also currently the president of Creatures Inc., which is responsible for both the Pokemon Card Game and the Mother (Earthbound) series.
No, Tetris was made by a Russian guy on a Soviet computer. Nintendo bought the copyright stuff for tetris and kept the folk song that he put with the game. They did add a part to the "Tetris type a" though, which is the middle part that is not heard in this song.
@ZeldaLink239173 Alexey Pajitnov's original Tetris did not have music; Korobeiniki or otherwise. The decision to use Russian music in the various ports/conversions was intended to hype up the game's origins - many versions used Tetris' Russian origins as a selling point. (One version was even subtitled 'The Soviet Mind Game)
Ой полным полна моя коробушка Есть и ситец и парча. Пожалей, душа-зазнобушка, Молодецкого плеча. Выйду, выйду в рожь высокую, Там до ночки погожу, Как завижу черноокую, Все товары разложу. Цены сам платил немалые, Не торгуйся, не скупись, Подставляй-ка губки алые, Ближе к молодцу садись.
... aequitaS best version
