The Russian Red Army Choir - The Roads

[LEOPARDTWO]

Great arrangement! Five stars.

[LetsPlayTime]

When I found the english lyrics to this song I cryed knowing the meaning fo the VERY powerful song.

[linkinpark3074]

This music is awesome. I love the Revolution has not died!

[butterballmach2]

Such power and unity of song only that of the Russian Choir can bring to the likes of the Americans but america has its good music to like classic rock and heavy metal but this is true unity of the heart mind and soul

[jimmyxx3]

This song gives me goose-bumps, not a lie, it truly does, very powerful and very beautiful.

[lilhavanaboys]

[talset2480]

@jhjkhkjkjhjkhkjk I have some deep russian roots an am trying to learn russian, from what i understand it sounds amazing

[Cheezefish]

Dlya materii Rossia <3

[cggarciasol]

I don't know why the people say comrades, when COMRADES or CAMARADAS it's not an russian word?!. The russian say comrade trying when they trying to say hello in the same way that the germans. Comrade is german not russian.

[ferdeanu2zero20]

@cggarciasol Actually most soviet countries used the word "tovarash" and it had the meaning of comrade.

[Tu16]

@cggarciasol The word used in the German Democratic Republic was not 'kamerad', a word intoxicated in the Nazi times, but rather 'Genosse'. The Russian 'товарищ' (tovarishch), the Romanian 'tovarăş', the Hungarian 'elvtárs', the Spanish 'compañero' (used in Cuba) etc etc etc are all synonyms of the word 'comrade' in English - that's why we use it ;)

[BullworthPinUpGirl]

I was afraid of this song, but now I find it beautiful!!!

[barbarshater]

[eggsaladinthetub]

[9999RuneScape999]

@eggsaladinthetub Yes it do.

[spetsnazisawesome]

[CaptinSully]

WE WILL NEVER FORGET.... WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE!

[wsgray2]

I wonder what the men sang as they were taken to the Gulag camps?

[MrRzareckiwuzhere]

@wsgray2 well u see gulag camps were for prisoners of war just like us in america have guantanamo bay so u cant say nothing these men have obviously terrorized their country just as terrorists terrorized our country so they go to guantanamo bay.

[hessel666665]

@wsgray2 Probably not much...

One thing I do hate about the gulag and stalin, was the fact that he ordered liberated Russian POWs from German camps into the gulags, because he feared they might turn against him, or where believing in the Nazi ideology...

Terrible... They fought to defend their home country... Got captured, survived because of a miracle.. only to be trown into their own Gulags, where they were pretty much left to die. God, in some points I hate Stalin...

[lemansquattro]

@hessel666665

Surely someone must've pointed out that they would definately have hated him after that?

[hessel666665]

@lemansquattro Probably not.... Pretty sure he'd had them trown in a Gulag aswell.... I'm sure 'they' all agreed with him, not trying to piss him off... but of course behin his back thay would have thought of him as a monster for doing that, but that's the Stalin era...

[Fenixx117]

@hessel666665 implying there was anything to admire in one of the most cruel and psychopathic dictators in history in the first place.

[reddenbawker]

The Russians are naturally badass. I mean, having to live in a winter cold as fuck, then a muddy ass Spring and Fall. Having centuries of wars where soldiers died without care. Brute manpower used for centuries instead of safer ways. No one else is badass.

[SuperSerge111]

It's a World War II soldier's song. Music by A. Novikov, lyrics by L. Oshanin. This is precise translation of the song (part 4):

Oh, the roads - dusts and fogs

Colds and anxieties and steppe weed grasses,

A snow or a wind - let us recall, my friends

We must never forget these roads

[nicobriozzo]

Can someone provide lyrics for this song? Specifically a romanization for non-russian speakers like myself?

[ercpkr]

Russia had no roads, which is why the Nazi blitzkrieg failed. This song is singing about how Russia's technological inferiority saved them.

[NapoleonTotalWarFG]

@ercpkr Lol that and endless supplies of men and fossil fuels :D

[SuperSerge111]

@ercpkr This is World War II soldier's song. Music by A. Novikov, lyrics by L. Oshanin. This is precise translation of the song (part 1):

Oh, the roads - dusts and fogs

Colds and anxieties and steppe weed grasses

Nobody knows his lot -

Mabe you'll fold your wings in a midst of the steppes

And a dust whirls above our boots along steppes, along fields

And a fire rages around us and bullets whistle...

[Deathlock11]

14 people were Nazi's who lost their leg in Stalingrad...

[jamesm267]

proletatarians of all lands, unite!

[mrtoontown]

Can anybody tell me what the song is about please?

Very beautiful, never realized Russian could be used to make such lovely song.

[chumpic1]

@mrtoontown This song is about WW2. Roads, roads, dust, fog, cold, worries and wild grass. You do not know your destiny, may be tomorrow is death, Roads, roads, everywhere is dust, flames and bullets. Gun short and my friend is on the ground , dead. Roads are long in foreign lands. Sun is rising every day and mother on the porch is waiting for her son. Snow or wind soldiers will always remember those roads.

[MascheraDiMusica]

...How does Russia get so many people that sound so amazing? D:

[fikamar27]

aaahh....

great song...

but... why the comments are about politics?

[zenophas]

I can listen to this stuff for hours on end and it doesn't get old.

[ruudjuh16]

The soviet union loses alot of people in WO2 but it won

The soviet union falled But it will rise from the ground!

[TheFreePisces]

Deutschland won in the end, we have the beautiful country. You have the corrupt piece of shit. Happy for working with the Americans now, right? Sore losers.

[Sniperpanzer]

@TheFreePisces stupidd we are talking about the song not politic... you are a loser

[jmanthebarbarian]

@TheFreePisces Germany was raped in the war. Did you know that one month ago you finished paying off war reparations from World War ONE! Yes!!! oh wait...there was that other thing about the 6 million jews...

[tudosiealex]

@TheFreePisces

Au contraire, buddy. You lost even more territories as part of WW2, and you're America's bitch much much more than Russia, and the ex-Soviet Republics.

The power of the mighty Volga, the winds over the endless Asian steppes, the blazing sun, - this is the music of Russia!

[mushufasas]

Awesome song! I cant believe 12 people didn't like it. 12 people with no culture what so ever.

[TrollmanIsTroll]

@mushufasas That's what we call an "Idiot."

[crazzydeano]

@mushufasas Fascists :P who do you think  Gloryglory Germany ;-)

[Riuk881]

@mushufasas 4 more people have revealed that they have poor taste in music

[lilhavanaboys]

@mushufasas Not even. I have no culture and I love this song! Those 12 to 16 people who dislike this video really have no taste in music or are a bunch of Jealous Nazi and Capitalist.

[WhareverDudeWtf]

@mushufasas

probably 12 americans ( now there r 17 americans )

they have no culture and no respect, for them movies where russia = EVIL is reality

[Siegerzkranz]

@WhareverDudeWtf

Screw you. Just because some people may or may not have disliked a video does not give you the right to go & stereotype them, maybe they are the (strange, reprehensible) sort who don't like this sort of music, or maybe they don't like that hundreds of people are going on about the SUPERIORITY OF THE COMMUNIST SYSTEM, URA, LENIN STALIN, etc.

[Siegerzkranz]

@Siegerzkranz

Continued:

Being a student of Russian History, and a bit of a Russophile, myself, I Think that the Russian people are over-represented as generic 'Bad Guys' far too much, but countering a stereotype with another stereotype isn't going to help.

[Evilstealer404]

@Siegerzkranz As far as you can see these days 'Bad Guys' are those, who got land full of oil. I bet Iraq needed democracy just like penguins need jeans. sigh. The world is just being prepared for another peacekeepers' intervention but on a bigger country. And since we formally got democracy already they just can't attack with such a silly reason. Community has to be prepared...

[Siegerzkranz]

@Evilstealer404

I don't mean to excuse my country's barely disguised jingoism. That was not my intent. Unfortunately, people in Washington are too interested in Realpolitik to actually build policy on belief, rather, they just change some things superficially to appear to change things and leave entire rotten governmental structures in place, while playing war with however much of our country's GDP.

[Deathlock11]

this is way better than MOST nazi music...man those music make me feel queezy and naushious...has no power and beauty in them...

[JohannBrigtsenNOR]

@Deathlock11 u kidding? Nazi music is cool too. try "Panzerlied", "Erika" "Koniggratzer March" and "Horst Wessel lied" those 4 a cool. problay other cool songs.

[DmitriKrukov]

@JohannBrigtsenNOR Does that mean you would rather listen to Nazi music then Soviet Music?

i speak a good bit of russian, i want my kids to look back and say, WOW, my dad used to sing that song all the time! thanks for posting! A eto potomushto ya govoryu po russkij ]:]

[Heike0815]

Woher kenn ich nur diesen wunderschönen song???? *grübel* Weiß jemand, wie er auf russisch heißt und ob es den auch in anderen sprachen gibt?

[hessel666665]

@Heike0815 In Russisch ist es 'Po dorogje'  'по дороге'

Ich denke nicht das diese song auch in anderen sprachen ist.. Aber auf Russisch ist es doch wunderschon?....

[Heike0815]

@hessel666665 Ja natürlich, es ist sogar WUNDERSCHÖN auf russisch :-) Ich grübele nur die ganze Zeit herum, woher ich diesen Song kenne (irgendwann vor über 20 Jahren hab ich den schon gehört und geliebt). Deswegen habe ich gefragt. War es mal ein Song in einem Film über Partisanen? In einer Serie?

[hessel666665]

@Heike0815 Keine anhung, Ich kenne diese song vielleicht vor 4-5 monaten.

Weil ich diese musik und andere hab' gehört bin ich mit Russisch angefangen :P

Lerne schon ein ganz jahr (^_^)  (Bin selb Niederländisch, so mein Deutsch kann fähler haben...:))

[Mr11110111011]

@Heike0815 Dieses Lied gibt es auch auf Deutsch ich hab es hier auf der Seite schon gehört. Es gibt was mich verwundert hat viele russische Lieder aus der Sowjetunion auf Deustch. Ab und zu stoße ich auf diese. Überwiegend mag ich die nicht im Original ist es schon besser, doch es gibt welche und dieses auch.

[Heike0815]

@Mr11110111011 weißt du denn, wie es auf deutsch heißt? Würde ich ja gern mal reinhören ;-) Ich find die auf russisch aber eigentlich sehr schön, passt irgendwie zu schwermütigen Melodien in meinen Augen :-) LG

[Mr11110111011]

@Heike0815 Weiß leider nicht hab es versucht schon vorher für dich zu finden, hat nicht geklappt. Ich hoffe nicht, dass ich das mit der Synchronsprache von diesem Ernst Busch gehört habe, sondern so ähnlich wie hier "Das Lied der sowjetischen Armee (deutsch) ". Das ist Of we Go oder Let's go. Wenn ich es finde melde ich mich bestimmt. Ansonsten besuche die Seite SovMusic(dot)ru da kannst du alle Lieder als MP3 runterladen ab und zu in Deutsch sogar Japanisch. Ist auf Enlisch umstellbar. LG:-)

[Heike0815]

@Mr11110111011 danke, ist ja eine super-site!!!! :-)))

[waldesjaeger2017]

@Heike0815 auf russisch heißt der Song "эх дороги" (ech dorogi). Ob es in anderen sprachen gibt, weiß ich leider nicht.

[Heike0815]
