Russian Song by a non-professional North Korean Singer

[qortnwjd92]

저언니노래쩌네 부럽다능ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[qortnwjd92]

Lovely song

[kassova1]

Her presentation of the folk song was quite impressive for somebody who is not Russian speaking. Lots of soul and expressiveness. But my only critique is her pronunciations at times are not always correct of the language, and the style is not typical of the way the song is done. Also, could have done more to make each verse of the song a little more different. But on the whole, I really enjoyed this song and the way she had so much fun with it!! Bravissima!!!

[doutzenification]

ну нет слов как хороша!

[EugenesterCPU]

Is this "Those were the days" by Mary Hopkins?

[EugenesterCPU]

@EugenesterCPU Hmm, read up on it and I know now it was originally a Russian folk song

[vldvdima]

[ricardobigrussia]

Уважаю!

[prohelipilot1]

She is singing an American song " Those were the days "

[MrSilver812]

@prohelipilot1 Those Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" ("Дорогой длинною", lit. "By the long road"), written by Boris Fomin (1900–1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism. The Georgian Tamara Tsereteli (1900–1968) in 1925 and Alexander Vertinsky in 1926 made what were probably the earliest recordings of the song.

[prohelipilot1]

@MrSilver812 Its a great song

[burjui80]

What a beatiful voice! (:

[knopka1945]

Девушка выглядит счастливой. Да ведь русский для нее родной!.. Обратите внимание на ее призыв к публике "Давайте все вместе". Знать бы кто это!

[lollipopzam]

Дорогой длинною

[tj440088]

Those were the days! The title of the song in English!

[paulostroff99]

Superb.TY ivan for posting

[Ljoshka1]

Поёт просто божественно, но посмотрите на её руки....видимо её профессия тяжёлый труд, а так жаль =(((

[ivanzakharchenko]

@Ljoshka1

Хорошее замечание. Но дело не в профессии, а в том, что студенты привлекаются к выполнению тяжелых видов работ, что-то вроде как было в СССР, включая земляные работы на стройках и в сельском хозяйстве, плюс военная подготовка. Отсюда и состояние рук.

[Motaro76]

@ivanzakharchenko

Отсюда не только состояние рук, но и общее телосложение - не жЫрная, как американки и не тощая, как нынешние "модели". Хотел бы я посмотреть на дистрофичку Оксану Фёдорову на стройке или на рисовом поле. Да, всех этих похабных "конкурсов красоты" в КНДРе нет (не считая лошадиные выставки). А девочка эта мне нравится, в отличие от всей этой западной и доморощенной попсни. Кроме того, военная подготовка в КНДР подразумевает и такую вещь, как таэквондо. Так-то.

[Motaro76]

@ivanzakharchenko

И это правильно. А у нас студенты зажигают на дискотеках, устраивая оргии в чаду анаши. А тяжёлая работа выполняется таджиками. В Америке для этого же используются чиканосы-голодранцы, в Германии - турки и пшеки. Ну, в КНДР всё по-другому. Это страна коммунистическая, а не паразитическая. На чужом горбу там не ездят. И тяжёлый труд там не удел презренных лузеров, а почётная обязанность.

[HvatKondrat]

@Ljoshka1 А что не так с руками? Вроде у всех баб такие руки или как жаль, что я в я в России других рук не видел... Видимо в той среде которой ты находишься у красивейших фотомоделей не руки, а эфемерные приспособления для ласки своих силиконовых сисек после душа :)

[bertalonia]

@Ljoshka1 ну и к чему тут этот комментарий? Вообще-то они от природы имеют темную кожу. А руки у девушки нормальные

[acb1511]

@Ljoshka1 Мыслите диалектически. Это наоборот, весьма офигенно, что в КНДР любая тупая ПТУшнеца может неплохо знать русский и устравивать подобные номера=))

[rwsmith29456]

Who remembers Mary Hopkin's popular version in the late '60s "Those Were The Days My Friends". A Korean singing a Russian song that was popular in the US??? GREAT!!!!!

[alexander0076969]

zdorovo!!! ( est tam deystvitelno nichego net i zin plohaya)

[yv84yt]

Если кореянка, то реально очень классно поет.

[ussuri3]

Очень красивая песня, я приветствую людей ис  КНДР ...

[TennessisET]

[kkulikov]

[u5tin]

Да у нее русский лучше чем у меня!

[AnubRu]

Помимо того, что девушка хорошо выговаривает наши слова, у неё очень приятный голос. С нетерпением жду на гастролях в Москве =)

[xrenube]

weak korean is weak.

[mariaumnik]

Excellent!!! :)

[Goldenbell001]

WoW~~~~ Perfect Russian, Those are the days my love!!!! It is Russian song that was imported by US (or Brit) Singer, Mary Hopkins. late 60's was very popular. Just wonderful to hear person of meldody at heart. There actually is a russian girl singer that also sang a S. Korean song. Actually the Russian girl improved the beauty of the song with softer and placid variation. At least that was my interpretation which could be construed differently. Thanks, nice clip.

[blatatacom]

Когда мы, русские окончательно сопьемся и исчезнем с земли, то наша культура останется в песнях вот таких прекрасных девушек.

А песня эта в СССР была фактически под запретом, по телевизору ее не услышать было.

[denzhukoff]

@blatatacom Сказал, как в лужу пернул.

[TheStoum]

Нашим "профессионалам" стоит у неё поучиться пению.

[AbayNMN]

Сочный, звонкий голос. Нашим псевдонародным песенникам поучится бы душевности исполнения.

[csyim2938]

흰저고리와 검정치마는 애잔함을 불러일으킨다. 그럼에도 대단한 가창력과 단순한 손동작의 조합이 감동을 자아낸다.

Amazing!!! :) Korea, go, go, go! She is wonderful!

[skeets347]

I have heard this song in many languages and love when lyrics and songs go across the borders. Just proves again, we are all humans in every way. Our wishes, dreams, and sorrows are same. Damn politicians on this earth has spoiled everything.

[jackinsonjoy]

poor girl fcking north korea must free those beautiful and talented people !

[Mr1963alex]

спасибо!

[BAHTYS]

Молодчина! Классно поёт и русский у неё замечательный!

[VeterYuga]

@BAHTYS

Согласен - мало кто из иностранцев так чисто поёт плюс эмоциональные акценты там где надо.

[TennessisET]

@BAHTYS

может, она с наших краев? или училась где у нас?

[harale8]

their is an English version of this song - THOSE WERE THE DAYS)

[mayo10er]

[gcluv1]

上手い

[valentina2025]

молодец!!!

[Slovjan]

Is it just me or she really doesnt have Korean accent while singing in russian slavic? Nice.

[Anatoli8888]

She sings in a good Russian with a very light accent! Very nice. Спасибо. Умница!

[SixtySky987]

what is the title of this song ?

[Goldenbell001]

Perfect Russian, Once there was a Tavern was sung by Mary hopkins in 60's. Quite intellectual and beautiful..

[novokarpati]

Actually, a Russian gypsy ('Roma') song, now considered 'russian'. The Beatles recorded it back in the late '60's.

[Comradel7]

Long live to south korea. USA go to hell!!!

[NodongSunim]

Очень душевно исполняет.

[Invilidity]

@h5t6ca I was referring to the fact of the existence of the clone of this song 'Those Were the Days.' I like this proper Russian rendition and Korea's respect for indigenous cultures including its' own. The white however has consumed everything it can. It has resorted in it's recent efforts through RnB/Hip-hop/Rap culture to 'devolve' back to Africa; I don't mean this in a racial context, but musically, not much can be said of there except for complex drum patterns.

[nanotraveller]

very good performance,bravo

[nanotraveller]

bravo bravo signora,you are a really very good interpret with a touch for music....

[prostojazz]

Здорово! Спасибо автору за клип,а девочке за песню. Thanks for posting! 5 stars for singer! Singing Russian folk song almost without accent!

[torainu2007]

感動した。すばらしい。

日本にきて～

ほんとに朝鮮人？

[h5t6ca]

It seems that this song is Irish if my memry serves me well

"Tthose were the days"

A hit in the late 60's

[Invilidity]

@h5t6ca Westerners have ran out of Eastern songs to steal, so now they're reverting to the primal talents of the common negro in producing meaningless beats. Such will never become of Korea, hopefully.

[h5t6ca]

@Invilidity This is an original russina song. But are you a racisst. Do you have somehting against people from the African continent living somewhere else?

[tryron78]

эй, я мог сделать это также!

[Crzeimasha]

Are you sure she's North Korean? There are also people in Russia who look absolutely Korean but their not. Maybe she's an exchange student in North Korea? I'm just asking because my mother, a Ukrainian, said she doesn't have any accent.

:)

[MrMale1982]

@Crzeimasha She have an accent!!!!!!!! She sing wrong text and words are interchanged, by the way...

Im korean, i was born in USSR and now I live in Russia.

We have more than 500 000 koreans in Russia. They are not connected with any of Koreas. We live in Russia because our land from Ko-Cho-Sson was taken by Russian Empire. And now this land is Russian.

WHATEVER - NICE SINGING!

[the0th]

@MrMale1982

there are also sakhalin koreans. in general korean history in FSU (sakhalin, vladivostok, kazakhstan and uzbekistan) is very interesting. they went through a lot under stalin's deportation (but then again those times were harsh on everyone)

[chefsessel81]

красивая песня, мне нравится! :)

[Inflancki]

Душевно поёт. Молодца!

[takerdust]

Is she the daughter of a General? She looks well-fed..while most performers look malnourished. .

[Crzeimasha]

Wow! Beautiful!

[johnkim100530]

She does not look like a starving North Korean.

She is pretty, lively, healthy and full of joy.

Is North Korean starvation an American propaganda?

[ivanzakharchenko]

@johnkim100530

There are lots of starving people in many countries. But it doesn't mean that all the people is starving.

[hkcjlm]

johnkim100530<- are you kidding? american propaganda? so, how do you explain about twenty-thousands north korean defectors in south korea?

[Dmitry755]

@hkcjlm

how about thousands Romanian and Bulgarian gypsies who recently deported from France. They was also defectors or refugees or smth else?

Fish is looking for where the deeper, people are looking for where to live better

[AsellusPrimus]

@johnkim100530 From what I've seen, there are some lucky people in North Korea used for things like tour guiding, performing, etc. who don't have it so bad. Most of the population isn't so lucky.

[RusiaCanal]

@johnkim100530

Are you stupid? Will the North Korean gov't show you a person who is starving to death and tell her to perform for you? Use your brain, dumbass!

[AndyMac1369]

@johnkim100530 3000 North Koreans Defect to south Korean every year. You wanna know how meny people have defected to North Korean?? Just one.

[aethereality180]

@AndyMac1369 Actually, that's not true, but at least your point gets across.

[Badavlin]

@johnkim100530 I don't think that it would be propaganda and there is truth to it. But in front of tourists or foreigners they are going to be represented by those who are healty and good looking.

[Motaro76]

@johnkim100530

Yes, it's American propaganda, same as bears on the streets of Russia. Starvation is common in capitalist countries, such as India, Brazil etc. etc. But in USA was also great starvation in 1930's.

[the0th]

@Motaro76

well said. n.korea is heaven on earth compared to capitalist countries like in africa or india/bangladesh

[Motaro76]

@the0th

When the whole world will consume so much as USA, we'd need 5 planets such as Earth. But we have only one. So consume have to be reduced till DPRK level. Only then we'll tightly fit in one poor Earth.

Wealth of "golden billion" is based on poverty of 3-rd world. One luxury villa - 100 favelas. One luxury car - 100 children starved in 3rd world. DPRK doesn't exploit any country.

[Tsukae]

Amazing voice.

[JosssuxD]

Oi aaaegu ammmuseid!



[TheJunoo]

More of the fuckin' Korean Stalinists( korean Marx-Leninsts) r bein' expected to be starved 2 death, buds~~, Holy cow shit, mannnnnn~~~~

[TheJunoo]

This Stalinist N.Korean gal b lucky gal; How could she survive from severe starvation in the sole Stalinist state on Earth, uhhh??? 2 million N.Koreans were starved 2 death, mann~~~

[Normatovai]

woah, she's truly amazing. :o you can barely notice the accent.. sposibo :)

[quasimodash]

[passarodoartico]

beautiful song... now she has  a fan in brazil 8 )

[KonstantinKuzn]

Хорошо поет, молодец )

[cortezawwris]

nice perforamce thought this is not a gypsy song.

[ivanzakharchenko]

Please, explain...

[cortezawwris]

@ivanzakharchenko It just a famous Russian folk song it has no connection to Russian gypsy

[ivanzakharchenko]

As far as I know, it's not a Russian folk song by melody and by its lyrics. Many gypsy songs so deeply entered the Russian culture in the past that it was considered Russian.

[adyjap]

@ivanzakharchenko non, the original song is from Dalida.. "Le temps du fleurs"

[djghostyel]

cant really complain, she isnt singing with an accent so maybe she's like a Korean Russian, Which i tend to refer to them as "chinese russians" no offense.

[ivanzakharchenko]

No, she's a Korean Korean :)

[MisterErico]

Another wonderful performance by a North Korean. Where are the South Koreans????????????????

The title says she is not a professional, but she performs better that any western professional.  MisterErico

[MrDudeInTheSuit]

Just Awesome!

Thanks for interesting videos,Ivan)

[ivanzakharchenko]

No worries!

[kutuzkin]

Аккордеон однако =)

Представляю, насколько было интересно слушать это вживую.

[ivanzakharchenko]

На самом деле было очень холодно, все были в зимних куртках. А артисты и корейские студенты в пиджаках и платьях.

[Nicom47]

Spasiba.

[RaimLT]

Почти без акцента!

Really awesome.

It`s hard for Korean one to speak Russian. But she does it well=)

[bobjones27]

how's her russian?

[ivanzakharchenko]

Absolutely perfect!

[ayanuhito]

north korea has taken many influences from russia, china, japan and even from south korea. we're so much mixed each others these days.. oh, perhaps all the time.! just some people hate it and like us to hate our neighbours each others. ..who think of earning from war-business.

[ddr49]

WOW!! She's incredible

[scarletghoul]

this is beautiful, and so is she, and her country :D

[CommiesZar]

Интересная у них там мода - высокая талия. Не в первый раз уже вижу.

[ivanzakharchenko]

Это не мода, а традиционная корейская одежда из юбки "чхима" и кофты "чогори", сделанной так, чтобы удобнее было кормить ребенка.

[Anton1941]

Russian masters?

Last time I checked, its the South Koreans and the Japanese that have American bases on their soil..

Russia and China have long since left North Korea..

I think masters applies to these Americans... that you so love..

[Anton1941]

she just happens to like the Russian culture more then that crap her Korean couzins to the south copied from the Americans..

thats not even culture

[WorldRussia]

Прекрасно!!!

[TheRunescapefan3]

what is the name of the song?

[ivanzakharchenko]

Sorry to be late. The song's name is "The Long Road". But the oldies' American remake, based on this song, was called "Those were the days".

[AlexeiMV]

Я так понимаю, это для Лаврова поют, он как раз 23-24 апреля в КНДР приезжал)) Здорово спела)))
