as i listen i look at the picture, the more i look the more i'm fascinated by the story shown, what's the painting called and who is it by please so i can learn more about it?
@bryngOneOn The artist is Ilya Repin, and the painting is called "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks." As you can see, the Cossacks are crowded around a feller writing a letter and laughing, as they are sending a very rude and vulgar response to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Mehmed IV (reigned from 1648 - 1687), who had commanded them to stop their raiding.
@behrooz4 The writer was perhaps a Cossack Jew. They served as administrators. Moreover, some Tatars fought with Poles against fellow muslims. Some Tatars converted to Christianity such as the family of Rachmaninoff.
doesnt anyone know a link to a normal version ( no singing )

I'd almost swap my entire Bon Jovi collection for that song.

@behrooz4 yes indeed, and the french poet Guillaume Apollinaire imagined the content of that letter. In case you were interested...

Erich Leinsdorf used a baritone in his recording, made for EMI a million years ago. Maybe with the Philharmonia(?).
