Thank you for posting these fine old Russian Romances. Nice, that this amazing art constantly inspires and influences the people in different countries.
@Ivan85504 Thank you. I can testify that in the United States, there is an ever-increasing awareness of just how extraordinary, and how great, Russian culture is. Opera, ballet, literature...what a national patrimony!
The richness of this voice - along with its power and intensity - is an experience. How nice that Tamara has chipped in so that we two slightly different English interpretations to choose from.
Thanks a lot, dear Edmund! Beautiful music, lyrical romantic poetry and the magnificent singing to enjoy. And here is another version of the translation: Dark falls upon the hills of Georgia, I hear Aragva's roar. I'm sad and light, my grief - transparent, My sorrow is suffused with you, With you, with you alone...My melancholy Remains untouched and undisturbed, And once again my heart ignites and loves Because it can't do otherwise.
@SuperLuckydream Thank you very much, Tamara. And thank you for the other translation. Pushkin is wonderful any way we translate him! I appreciate your comment.

@Bivolari Thanks, Stephen. She sure was. Reminds me a bit of Marilyn Horne.

@EdmundStAustell In my opinion - one of the greatest dramatic mezzos of all time. I had never heard of her til i started surfing on youtube.
