Please, someone type the lyrics to this song as I want to sing this song in Hebrew

You can type it either in Hebrew, or you can transliterate this song using "english" letters

Thank you

The man who sings the second verse, has a wonderful voice. Who is it?

[ryglegrykkmykk2]

[hoangtuchanthanh2008]

This song I heard and liked the tone when I was tiny. Remember the years of Soviet Vietnam always stand against imperialist aggression. Thanks for the great Russia, thank Kachiusa song. I love Russia! I love VietNam. Tôi yêu nước Nga, tôi yêu Việt Nam! I hate China

איזו שפה איזה שיר. חבל שאין כבר כאלה ברץ.

[Ostap2003]

А музыка Блантера, между прочим. Он много чего другого написал - Враги сожгли родную хату, и т.д.

"Katusha" may well have been translated to Hebrew in 1945, but this performance seems to be from the early 1970's, I would guess, judging by the hair styles and the clothes.

[DivyaPreity4ever]

@5guysnamedmoe I think its Schechunat HaTikwa theatre workshop, because one of these girls looks like Ofra Haza

[pinz2022]

@DivyaPreity4ever

All right, well we all know what happened to Ofra Haza. It doesn't bear belaboring. But still, I would love to know how the Russian WWII song was acquired by you guys. And how it translated so smoothly to Hebrew.

there was a lot of people who liked the soviet union at the time, and a lot of soviet songs were translated into hebrew and called israeli songs. it was the time of socialist zionism, after all. :)

I come from a Kibbutz, and we grew up on Russian and Soviet music. It was part of the culture, because most of the pioneers came from the Russian empire. Even though our grandparents came from other parts of Europe - it already became Israeli folk. Add to it the fact that the founders of our country were socialists, and there was a lot of admiration to the Red Army. We know who really defeated the Germans in WW2 and saved us - it was the Red Army, not the Western powers.

@maar162

Ummm, that's a rather awkward sentiment. The old USSR DID recognize Israel at Independence but it later became the chief supplier of weapons, military intelligence and military advisers to your dear, dear Arab neighbors for a long time. I shouldn't be having to remind you of this basic history.

Say! As long as we're on the subject; were those rumors true about you guys having bizarre, twisted sexual orgies as kids in the beit yeladim after lights out?

[maar162]

@pinz2022

well, the admiration to the Soviet Union lasted until the 50's, but it was only as strong in the smaller Kibbutz movement "Hakibutz Haartzi", which was more left wing and Socialist, but also - anti-Communist. In my kibbutz, for example, the Communists were expelled in the 50's. After the truth about Stalin came out, even the Kibbutz Artzi movement of doezens of Kibbutzim grew apart from the USSR. The only thing that people were still possitive to was the cultural aspect.

@pinz2022

children house (biet yeladim) was until age 12, so no sex or orgies (I grew up in one in the 80's). The free sex was in the older days of our grandparents when they were young adults and there was not much to do in your spare time. But even that's a bit of a myth... In fact, kibbutzniks were and are pretty conservative like any other small community. sorry to disappoint :)
