Sophie Milman - Ochi Chernye

[554ethan]

Although I am Japanese, this song will feel the romance of Russia and Gypsy. My distant ancestor was a traveler might seem like much of the continent. I think that this feeling in my blood. Nostalgia is very resurrection.

[larino87]

Cool. The first time I heard this was in the game Syberia and I had to hear the original though the version in the game was great too. The beginning piano and bass kind of sounds like Autumn Leaves.

[gregbboy619]

I don't know why I don't like her face.

[Paulinhogarcia]

Jazz is freedom to sing a song as you feel and enjoy. Singing this song as jazz may not go well with the traditionalists but Sophie does a great work and the band as well, beautiful voice; and, being Russian makes it an "authentic" style.

[CrisDracco]

A versão Jazz ficou legal! Adorei! Salvei nas favoritas!!!

1) Ochi chyornye, Ochi zhguchie, ochi strastnye, i prekrasnye! Kak lyublyu ya vas! Kak boyus' ya vas! Znat', uvidel vas ya v ne dobryi chas! (Repeat first verse) 2) Ochi chyornye, ochi plamenny I manyat oni v strany dal'nye Gde tsarit lyubov',Gde tsarit pokoi, Gde stradan'ya nyet, gde vrazhdy zapryet. 3) Ne vstrechal by vas, ne stradal by tak Ya by prozhil zhizn' ulybayuchis', Vy zgubili menya ochi chyornye Unesli na vek moyo schast'ye. (Repeat first verse)

[nnninnnnaaaa]

[Beatlesfansclub]

[Chatelmaster]

@Beatlesfansclub

You have to deserve a Russian Lady before you can go to bed with that kind of a Lady and if you can only "fuck" her you have lost

[gregorymak]

Anyone know who the bass player is?

[8yura8]

@gregorymak

there is no bass

[gregorymak]

@8yura8 Em..I hear and I see a Double Bass here, how can u say there is no bass?

[8yura8]

@gregorymak

yeah, but not a bass guitar :P

[scottmalec]

WA WA WEE WA!!!

[Vee128]

I love this rendition of one of the most beautiful songs in the world! Sophie sings it better than anyone! I think she might be Russian born, but lives in France? In any case, She is amazing! Love her voice, and her Russian is perfect, with a hint of an accent! Sexy and Charming... Brava! Molodez!

[voluptuousbettiepage]

Wow.

[skawarriors]

excellente et avec bcp de charme vive le jazz!!!

[Ivnaaaaa]

The Cosicher's family traditional song.....Enjoy the jazz version of this Polish/Russian song

[djarej]

[Publius1947]

I agree that most people don't like this jazzy version but since most people are morons it is not a concern.

[mehow011001]

Lovely!!!!

[Iness888]

I like this jazzy version of the song and her pronunciation is not bad ( I am russian and it sounds ok to me ), Sophy is Canadian with Russian heritage .

And she is a stunning woman.

Inessa

[bazuka007]

the low ratings are not for the song or the performer, but for the band and performance, most people don't like this jazzy version including myself

[Search1110]

Christ!!! THE WORST VERSION OF THE SONG. The song is damaged. her pronunciation is brrrr... So sad so sad

[tgy07]

@Search1110 This is jazz version bro,and its very good.

[Search1110]

@tgy07 Very good because you said so? You must be imbecile, no less...

[tgy07]

@Search1110 Well , why are you so agressive ? It's only my decision... By the way , I am not an imbecile , but a jazz guitarist..

[Search1110]

@tgy07 Aggressive? I did not find any aggression here but my opinion. Have You?

[martinbeco]

[KateiCiuurai]

Sophia (Sonia?) prosto prekrasnaja pevica. Ves ostalnoj eje repertuar ja poka slushaju prosto razinuv rot. U nee est mnogo chemu poucitsia pevicam, s kotorymi ja seicas rabotaju. No etot variant pesni @oci cernyje@ IMHO nepravilen stilisticheski, arranzirovka slishkom tusklaja, ritm ne podcerknut, vo vtoroj polovine pesni @pevica prosto razminaetsia@. Odnim slovom NE TO :(

[pouipouit]

PLEASE

on which album is it???

[computeruser54321]

@pouipouit From her first album "Sophie Milman." Released in 2004. You should be able to see the album cover at her web site.

[666mundvij]

the song is on her first album titled sophie milman

[bc2012]

the worst version I've ever heard....gets nowhere near master Ivan Rebroff's version!

[14Srb88]

Lol totally agree.... xD

[UanaCuO]

wonderful. :X i heard this song sung by so many artists but i guess this is as good as it gets.

[Alexus7373]

Э-эх , Я бы с ней... дуэтом забацал...очи,так сказать)))))))))))))))))))))))­)))))).

[TheAnguana]

E allora ti resta uno struggimento, che è quello che poi mi lascia questa canzone...

[yakk2503]

singing in Russian?

[TheDejinasal]

just perfect

[Rhymneceros]

I love her singing and her band.

[jazzmania83]

xorosho poet ! She sings very well..I like her voice

[youVolos]

Заткнись

[Ursugarspice]

My mother would sing this all the time when I was a child...it's a very popular Russian song.

[hotgirlchick32]

omg why so low ratings? all i said was her music is seductive to make love to....jeez...this song is smooth ans sexy and loungy..

[GeekMaster6000]

@hotgirlchick32 What low ratings...?

[sciaticca]

'Очі' is the Ukrainian word for 'eyes', but the song is still sung in Russian.

[ratnik44]

In which language it is? In russian "eyes" are "glazy", "horrible" is "strashne", not "strasne"

[sbonfiglioli]

@ratnik44 In Russian eyes are "glaza," not "glazy" (irregular plural). The word is strastnie, meaning passionate, not strashnie, meaning horrible/scary. Ochi is an old word for eyes that's no longer really in use in modern Russian. In any case her pronunciation is pretty bad.

[ratnik44]

@sbonfiglioli Thank You for reply. Do these ochi mean the song is very, very old, or it's not in official Russian, but e.g. in some kind of the Russian dialect?

[kbab3333]

@sbonfiglioli what is so bad about her pronunciation??? Absolutely fine ... I am Russian and can't say she has much of an accent ...

[MoyzesValery]

@sbonfiglioli, гонишь, нормальное произношение, хотя и не дикторское. У неё стиль такой, вялый.

[wladwlad]

pure chills...

[SpardaLos]

Никакой страсти, взяла и песню испортила, овца бля.

[mobistmo]

@SpardaLos послушай эту песню из её официального альбома...там получше :)

[hotgirlchick32]

her voice seduces me ..like monica mancini.. thinking of a dirty seduction plan...lol

[PoutinePete]

She's a hot, Russian Babe! I never realized the Russian language can sound sexy.

[imtheguvnor]

That why they have the "Mr Bond" said by a russian Woman. Oh Yeah!

[Cluelessron]

As long Sophie Milman's singing it.. If you listen to versions by ivan rebroff, sounds pretty scary

[Daciliiiiiii]

@Cluelessron rebroff sings like god. if God has voice he sounds like Ivan Rebroff. But Sophie is also great! Maybe it is something in the Russian soil. Who knows...

[vinko10000]

Perfect performance !

[reginagoulartsantos]

Amazing. Good job. I love this music.

[Tullius]

Strange way of interpreting this song. It appears to me she is taking its tragic meaning away. It is a simple love song, but profound in its simplicity, because it captures the essence of unconditional love, to love even without being loved back. But it is an immense pleasure to listen to her, I say.

[strinzi]

greath...

[Nasuradin]

The lyrics of this song was written by a Ukrainian poet in 1843, Russia was ruled by a monarchy until it was overthrown in1917, FYI.

[Supergoose2]

You're a communist

[PoutinePete]

I resent that, Comrade!

[5687678]

It has a atmosphere of WWII German broadcast.

[puiulamiba]

fain fain... :X

[baberbekule]

For you a greeting like "preved" would probably sound the same :))))

Go get some medicine against schizophrenia.

[ZeuoNight]

Very Very wonderful

i like this song too much

[kharkov1000]

This song is not for jazz.

[Fantamagix]

Good and beautiful

[TeXXoM]

I now this song from a Turkish Film "The Last Ottoman Knockout Ali" =) really nice song =)

[TheRailwaystationist]

Very good indeed :)

[artmaniac53]

Good singer in a incredible song!

[zefrenchgirl]

BRAVO! un immense talent!

[genskompi]

Beautiful Take!!!

[KFLDD2]

мне очень нравится ее вокал и музыка под которую она исполняет песни

[AleksandrinaTV]

I love this song! I love being russian! My friends always want me to teach them this song and alaways want me to sing it...lol.

[bokyedegeber]

some people cant seperate russian languAge from jewish language?

[virtual7insanity]

is she russian Jew?

[senoramariposa]

Yes, I think I read that she is.

[cliftonboyz]

yeah, from Mars

[jaultarts]

I like the russian language! Beautiful.

[senoramariposa]

Beautiful and SEXY!

[nisamjabolan]

great! i´m singing it all day today!

[charmingemily]

its russian? hebrew? what language is that? is she fluent in that language?

[ProfessorX29]

Russian.

[LiquidGold2]

Beautiful!

[Chofcina]

same groove like mileses autumn leaves,but very cool,,russian romances are suicidal

[ghostjazz]

beautiful !!

thanks

[888zaika888]

*adore*

[bombaschka]

wow. Da nu!! Sowsem bez akzenta!! Respect =-D *****

[youVolos]

Так ведь она русская. Родилась в Уфе.

[dhvrm]

This version is vastly superior to the one on her eponymous CD.

[brooklynsweb]

Amazing.. such passion... the degrading comments on this thread are from people who neither have talent nor can appreciate it.. I wish the comments functionality of youtube could be moderated to keep out that sort of trash.

To add, I'm not a big fan of Russian music as I left my homeland as a child of 5, and the language sounds more rough to me then English, however she does a great job of smoothing the language and jazzifying the track.

Great job!

[sashoal]

russian culture and music is great!!!

[sanjaj]

she is fabulous. the way she is mixing different music styles is amazing. soul food.

[kozjevime]

mixing Russian romance with Afro-American jazz is like mixing caviar with dog shit!

She is pervert and works on degrading and degenerating fabulous russian romances.

[bke008]

Instead of recognizing innovative creations, you criticize. If Milman's jazzy rendition of a Russian classic is disgustingly immiscible why the shit does your Russian ass even speak English? Respect cultural diffusion you ignorant and irate imbecile. As if she deliberately tried to disgrace mother Russia.

[mcpushkin]

fab!!!!

[iguanalunar]

yeah,i prefer the original version.=/

[psychologicalshock]

Awful, how can you slaughter such an excellent song so badly?  I am embarrassed.

Jebiniji zhidi.

[largernaught]

psychologicalshock.

You called Ivan Rebroff's Great Traditional version "Soviet propaganda". Perhaps you could do us all a favour buy qualifying your comments. I happen to think that

Sophie Milman is one of the best (If not the best) new talents to appear on the world stage In the past few years, and this is the best jazz version of this song I have heard.

If you know of a better one PLEASE tell us what it is, then we can judge for our selves.

[Dugaroff]

"This Zhidovka has 0 talent, she is absolutely nothing"

ahahahahha "This ZHIDOVKA" lol

[Draeka]

She's like a Russian Rebecca Romeijn. Fantastic.

[ladyPB298]

Marvellous. If you have the opportunity to see/hear her live, do it. A great performer.

[kozjevime]

mixing Russian romance with Afro-American jazz is like mixing caviar with dog shit!

She is pervert and works on degrading and degenerating fabulous russian romances.

Whatever European beauty they capture they work on destroying it.

[poorscholar]

I've been listening to a dozen versions of this song tonight and this is, simply, THE ONE.

[ZORANDODO]

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS SEXY VOICE!

[SHAYtm]

סופי, מחכים לך בישראל.

[catricola]

Wonderful singer. I can't stop playing her songs after hearing an interview with Sophie on NPR one morning.

[linguistmuz]

It's certainly not the best version of this song, but she's such a gorgeous singer! And it's so nice to hear her sing in Russian. I'd love to hear her sing old Russian jazz.

[pleasantms]

A lovely sincere woman to have met, as well as a fabulous singer!

[adigamov]

lol

she is my friends sister

[lexousa]

perfect!!! love it... enjoying it...

[imaginit]

Sophie Milman is Russian born, but now lives in Canada. At the age of 25 she has established herself as an international jazz singer.

While this is not one of my favorite songs by her, it shows once again her talent, range and sophistication. I have never heard a song by her that I disliked.

[heUAcyp]

any russian can translate it to english plz?

[dunkinponchik]

on the right side of this page look for the video Black ( Dark ) Eyes Russian song English Subtitles

[dunkinponchik]

Actually first open the video Ochi Chernie - Black Eyes (Russia) with the picture of some eyes, then you will find that song with English subtitles. Or search for the video Dark Eyes (Ochi chyornye) performed by Tommy Cox. He sings it in English.

[zambiricci]

you can find the translation on wikipedia just search for "dark eyes":D

[cipicorigin]

uffff

[bmwgs2]

"The" most sensual girl I've heard singing in my almost 63 years of living... but it may be my Ukrainian ancestry resurfacing, I don't know. We're going to see her live tomorrow night, I'll be able to better comment after that.
