Helmutt Lotti Russian Folksong Otschi Tschornije

[Horrido413]

Beyond 'Those Were The Days' aka Dorogoi Dlinnoyu, I have learned to like Russian music. So rich, so powerful, so emotional.

[93Archangel]

Sehr schoen!

[PianoGesang]

Lotti's voice is so pale that you have to guess rather than hear it when the Russian choir joins in!

[TheTimasia]

Luceros negros. An old Russian song, somewhat gypsy like. Такую песню тяжело петь так плотно застегнувшись на все пуговицы!

[Darkstar6638]

russian folk music. i love it..so powerful. shows great pride and might and its soulfully deep

[joelie80]

haha he lives in my street :p

[Astronesthes]

@joelie80 You'd better get him out before he suffocates

[Yoshi11583]

What's the name of that tunic he is wearing? Would love to get one like it.

[Freyja1133]

@Yoshi11583 you could google it.. just type russian clothing,or Rusian costumes in the seach area

[Horrido413]

@Yoshi11583 It looked like a Russian Navy pea coat called 'bushlat'. Saw it under Russian military uniforms. Cheers!

[RiftHeals]

this isnt in russian. the stuff in the begining. its in some other language

[wennesnichtsowaere]

@RiftHeals the stuff in the beginning is german, but the song is russian

[lucky997]

Thanks, I love song Rusian!

[balipityu]

Bravó!!!

[BlueVellamo]

Otschi Tschornije Dark Eyes

[BlueVellamo]

No, not sad am I, nor so mad am I;

All my comforts lie in my destiny.

Just to realise my life’s worthiest prize

Did I sacrifice for those ardent eyes!.

Translation by [1] Peter Farnbank]

[barrysfriens]

@BlueVellamo Thenk you for the translation. How is Helmut's pronounciation in Russian? Is it any good? Did you hear him sing the national anthem?

[BlueVellamo]

@barrysfriens

Helmut's Russian is very good. only slight accent.

the national anthem is great!

[BlueVellamo]

Darkness yours conceal mighty fires real;

They my fate will seal: burn my soul with zeal!

But my love for you, when the time is due,

Will refresh anew like the morning dew!

[BlueVellamo]

Oh, these gorgeous eyes, dark and glorious eyes,

Burn-with-passion eyes, how you hypnotise!

How I_ adore you so, how I fear you though,

Since I saw you glow! Now my spirit’s low!

[andrejka1971]

Sowas von schön! Da spürt man den hauch der russichen seele....ich liebe diese songs!

[Bolgi]

Russian music is great!

[ejabus]

Qué bella melodía y quien la interpreta Helmut Lotti lo hace de maravilla

[guenteroo7]

guenter reitmeier

[questionofhonour]

Very beautiful song.. and this is not the firs time he has recorded it!! I love his voice particularly because he's an artist who can do two different versions of the same song and both great!!

[DanteGamma]

Редкое и превосходное чувство  русского романса. Спасибо,Хелмут. Дай Бог здоровья.

[MissAismail]

He has a great voice (3:30) :')

[kozakyespana]

agh... How a man suffers behind a women... :-(

[TheDinikin]

запомните мои слова - скоро этот парень начнет петь с басковым и киркоровым, а алла П. - скажет про него - ......

[AlfanuAljamil]

Very nice..I love russian folkmusic, it so emotional and its touch me!

Thanks

[zjazjalibu]

@AlfanuAljamil Of course it's emotional but it's not folk music. that's russian romance designed by russian members of the gentry.

[Fealka]

@AlfanuAljamil check out Dmitri Hvorostovski's version ;)

[AlfanuAljamil]

@Fealka Thanks for tip, I will do!

ПРОШУ ПРОЩЕНИЯ - ХЕЛМУТ ЛОТТИ -БЕЛГИЙСКИЙ ПЕВЕЦ, хотя и немецкая сентиментальная душа тоже прекрасно исполняет наши русские и итальянские песни...

Я ПОТРЯСЕН ИСПОЛНЕНИЕМ ЭТОГО

РОМАНСА ХЕЛМУТОМ ЛОТТИ! Так страстно прекрасно могут петь только мы,русские,итальянцы,немцы...

Текст романса Евгения Гребенки/1843/

[bjr43]

Wow, he's great at singing Russian even though he's not Russian.

[Victor20376]

@bjr43 Of course he is not Russian, he is a north-Belgian and beiing Flemish is an advantage for learning a foreign language: Nearly 80% of the Flemish speak (more or less fluently) 4 languages.

[Aegaleus]

Why there are whole bunch people dressed like gypsies in the background?

[sergeontheloose]

Because this is a song about how a man fell in love with a beautiful gypsy woman.

[Aegaleus]

Ohh, I never knew that. Thanks ;)

[DarkWolfInc]

I believe it's a ballad of an Imperial Russian Solider/Officer who falls in love with a gypsy girl. Goes to prove- that you cant pick who you fall in love with. I greatly enjoyed this song...

[zjazjalibu]

@Aegaleus gypsies - is an integral attribute of russian romance like guitar (it's not russian vusic instrument).

[luciferlucif]

Cet autodidacte de la musique classique nous montre que les conservatoires n'ont absolument pas le monopole de la créativité tant au niveau de l'accompagnement mélodique qu'au niveau de la chorégraphie. Alors oui à l

[catrachosforever]

This is one of my favorites russian songs, beautiful pictures from russia... helmut sings in almost every language, no wonder he is famous! He is fantastic!!!

[ditter1801]

[realtimepower]

I would like to show you something ..

Search for a singer ***Beato Biagio***

Listening to you sometime .....

[XIPM3]

best version i have ever heard.

[sagna17]

...to be honest..this is for the first time I hear about Helmut Lotti...but he´s quite good!:)...he´s like what? An opera or musical singer?...and does he has some relation with Russia or hes chosen russian songs just like that,,,?

...I love all these russian songs hes singing btw..:)

[denisshkup]

He is Belgian he just chose Russian songs simply because of their beauty, just admire ;)

[Rengyduck]

Thank you for the spelling of Xhosa :)

[Rengyduck]

He sings in Italian, Spanish, French, German, English, Russian and the African "click-language" which I don't know how to spell the name of.

That's quite an achievement. I love Helmut!!!

[fantaisiocht]

Xhosa, I believe. And you are right. He is quite an accomplished singer.

[fantaisiocht]

I get chills when he hits those notes from 3:23 on. I would love to hear songs by him in which he sings to his highest level. He's awesome!

[mylovehelmut]

Helmut can sing 15 languages and speak 5 or 6 languages.

He said it in an interview.

Helmut learn really fast languages.

I Love him so much!

[soylicantropo]

Greetings from Mexico

[mylovehelmut]

Yes! i'm a true Fan! Helmut and his music save my life 4 times. I'm a fan since almost 14 years. Go look on my channel, everything is about Helmut.

Greetings from Quebec, Canada

[TempeBrennanBooth]

Montreal, Quebec here. I think that music can have that kind of life-perception altering power. I'm glad you are still with us.

Bonne chance, mylovehelmut.

[mylovehelmut]

True Tempe, but I'm a big Fan of Helmut.

He save my life 4 times and i owe my life to this man.

I Love retro music too, French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, because of Helmut, italian and all languages in Europe. I Love Creole music too.

Finaly, i love songs who i understand the Liyrics! I'm a singer, not a Pro but, my preference goes to retro! Now i stopped because i write a book and it takes almost all my times!

[bsharpnack]

Helmut rules on this song! He's Belgian, but he sings it better than any Russian.

[Bettyland54]

Helmut, you are the best!!!

[einfachda87]

he speaks a lot of languges for example: german. english, russia,belgien !!

[RitchieBrinckmore]

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no such thing as a language called "Belgian". ^^

[baltofanplay]

Why does he speak german? anyway.. He is damn good!

[tecktomax01]

c'est génial et il est très beau en plus on l'adore une granny

[ALKIS84]

songs when russia WAS great!at the times of the empire!!!

[ritabrugre]

fabulous!!

[zinutile]

My god, Lotti has to be the most awefully lame, and cheesy singer in the whole world. He sounds like a moron, and if it wasn't that his father was indecently rich, Helmut Lotti would never have had a career. Can't believe anyone likes that lol!!!

[luciferlucif]

poor and ignorant man! it' s Réunion Island what is the whole world !!!!!!!!

[ltmikepowell]

Did he sing Korobeiniki? That song is really infectious to my mind since I played Tetris game when I was a kid back then.

[GISS00]

the most capturing russian song ever! beautiful voice!

[jackocloud]

amayonasing your voice is the best in the world

[rainborobin]

damn i wish i knew how to speak russian, it has to be the most beautiful language. besides i love this mans voice.

[chikishei]

My grandma has a jewelry box that plays this song, and the melody always creeped me out. It's a wonderful song though!

[parkvej114]

very good song

[dos123123]

great russian song!

[Vladpol12]

odlicno Helmut Lotti

Thank you for the song

Vlado Ottawa,Canada

[Peppone15]

mein absolutes lieblingslied!

[gytay]

ОЧИ ЧЁРНЫЕ (Black Eyes) Очи чёрные очи чтрастные Очи жгучие и прекрасные Как люблю я вяс Как боюсь я вас Знать увидела вас я в недобрый час Скатерть белая залитавином Все гусарыспят беспробудным сном Лишь один не спитпьёт шампанское За любовь свою за цыганскую Подойди ко мне ты мне правишься Поцелуй меня не отравишься Поцелуй меня потом я тебя Потом вместе мы расцелуемся

[PianoSpace]

what is the name of the song? when i search for otschi tschornije, i don't found anything

[subscriberin]

"Очи чёрные"

is the russian way to write it. hope that helps.

[Fisher9001]

Wow... 5 languages + 5 PERFECT accents... He's great.

[sourmanofcoal]

lol he butchers the accent part, i know ruski, he aint making those natural sharp words.

[nkaminskiy21]

It's okay, Russian is a very hard language to master. For someone who doesn't really speak the language he does a pretty good.

[Mann1979HH]

How many languages does that man speak anyway?

[LuvUDunk]

He can speaks 5 languages

[vetdino]

but that's easy for flemish-belgians. they are basically born bilinguals: they learn Flemish (Dutch) and French since very little + english and then it's easy to learn German from Dutch (same language family). of course speaking 5 languages is impresive anyway, I just point out it's not so surprising for a belgian

[Ken69a]

But in most parts of Europe, you get that.

If you live say in nth west of Russia, you will most likely know Russian,Finnish,Saami etc.

In the south, some of the Arabic languages.

Much depends on what part of Europe one is living.

Now am I green with envy?

YES.....

Should have got off my ass, and learn.

[vetdino]

Nope, that's not true, European are not multilingual. For example very few french speak any other language other than french, the italians and the spanish usually don't know foreigh languages. And of course inn the South we don't speak arabic!

[lifelikedoll]

That's nearly untrue Italians don't talk foreign languages O.o.

Actually i like talk 4 languages myself^^'.

Lol well maybe some of them doesn't, but times change man XD.

Oh btw Holland rocks more than Belgium o.o XD (just joking i was in belgium few times and it's a really nice country especially in the north XP).

Well i think Helmutt is amazing mastering so many languages. =p

[vetdino]

I also think Holland is better than Belgium, at least the people defintely much cooler in NL!!

[Demarchist]

kind..

[lifelikedoll]

@vetdino Ahahah :P So far so true :P

[akawhippy]

which ones?

[evo1137]

To the ear of a thrird-generation American used to hearing Slavic sounds as a child,

Helmut Lotti's rendition of this Russian folksong was ELECTRIFYING. It actually provoked a wave of unthinking tears to hear these sounds, this from a listener not even Russian, but Polish, and a Teutonophile to boot! Try to figure out this reaction while

you turn up the volume all the way!

[evo1137]

A THIRD-generation American!

[chafik208]

beautiful song!!!thank u russia

[pva1987]

this guy is from belgium..so????

[decidete]

[arschbombe83]

but this singer here speaks like a guy from france or belgium ...

[arschbombe83]

i love german with rusian accent :) sounds beautiful

[BelgianMusic]

he's not russian... he's a dutch-speaking belgian (flemish/vlaams).

[cortezawwris]

ya umm he never said he was Russian he said he was german fool.

[BelgianMusic]

which is still wrong...

[cortezawwris]

so what know say this feminine man is russia. I would not be glad say hes Belgian

[castrewq]

en le france, le chansons sont bonne

[janneman666]

In Vlaanderen zijn ze beter.

(En Flandre, ils sont mieux)

[babouk9]

prekrasno Barin !!!

[piersnica]

As a friend of mine is fond of saying:

"Deutsch ist der Sprache der Liebe!" Only sounds bad compared to Russian, which is possibly the most beautiful language to listen to

[vicquial]

wow... the german language sounds so disgusting GRRR

[akawhippy]

Why? I thought you liked it?

[greetfrank1989]

wonderful..and the voice of helmut is so pure... fantastic!

[akawhippy]
