So fliegt und fliegt der Kranichkeil am Himmel, ermüdet in die Dunkelheit hinein, In seinen Reih'n seh' ich ein leeres Fleckchen und denke mir, dies könnt' für mich wohl sein. Doch eines Tag's schweb' ich im Kranichzuge und aus dem Blau des Himmels, tief hinab, ruf' mit dem Vogelschrei ich alle jene, die unten ich zurückgelassen hab'. Zuweilen scheint mir, alle die Soldaten, die aus dem Krieg nicht heimgekommen sind, in uns'rer Erde wurden nie begraben, und weiße Kraniche geworden sind.

Very nicely wrapped vocal performance, and yet for me it lacks that feeling of goose bumbs on my back I get when I listen to the original performance by Mark Bernes. Despite the strong operatic voice, Hvorostovsky fails to communicate the sincerity, tragedy and tenderness as it was done by Bernes.
We are just too removed from that era to truly experience the same feelings and emotions that people of those generations went through.
Eternal glory to the brave soldiers who died defending they're motherland and eliberated eastern europe.....forever be in our minds and gratitude eternal for the martyr heroes of europe.soldiers of the red army and from my native country romania who fought alongside the soviets after 23 august 1944....eternal rest for the ones who crushed the invading nazist-fascist claw that purched hallf of europe and killed millions....peace eternal beloved soldiers alongside de angels
Cudowna piesn i przepiekne wykonanie.! Rosjanom zycze wszystkiego najlepszego !Podziwiam ich godne szacunku pielegnowanie patriotyzmu.Polski patriotyzm jest niszczony zgodnie z poleceniem niejakiego Fejgina z UB:"Rozstrzelac polska dume,zamordowac polski patriotyzm".Rosjanie nie dajcie sie!!!

Ощущения что он просит милостыню у сидящих в зале. Не естественно как то поёт , песня очень хорошая нет слов но исполнение не для него, пой Дима оперы или что то другое но не это произведение. Ян Френкель сам пел это и ни кто другой так не сделает пусть все поют по своему я это понимаю но это надо петь как пели его первоначално.
W tej pieśni po raz pierwszy usłyszałem Dmitria.Cudowny ciepły baryton,dużo liryki w tym głosie.Potem słuchałem mnóstwo innych utworów w Jego wykonaniu.Ta piosenka szczególnie oddaje nie tylko lirykę,ale i dramatycznie łagodną ekspresję,zważywszy na tekst tej pięknej pieśni("...byc może tam jest dla mnie miejsce..." Zachwyt!!!
Really heartbreaking, so beautiful and so sad. I have tears in my eyes listening to that song.
I guess the crying woman in sekv. 1:02 lost her father or gr.father during the world war II. 20 milions of Soviet citizens paid with their lives during the war they did not even start.
I am not Russion but I have a big respect for common russion people who have been suffering during many hundreds years. At first under wikings, then Tsars, then Comunists, then Germans and now Oligarks/capitalists.
@josfol --- These are not just your ordinary, garden-variety capitalists.......... these are THIEVES ..... who rob their own country of it's resources ......... no wonder they need bodyguards ... one of these days the people will arise again .......
Мне кажется порою, что солдаты, С кровавых не пришедшие полей, Не в землю эту полегли когда-то, А превратились в белых журавлей. Они до сей поры с времен тех дальних Летят и подают нам голоса. Не потому ль так часто и печально Мы замолкаем, глядя в небеса? Летит, летит по небу клин усталый - Летит в тумане на исходе дня, И в том строю есть промежуток малый - Быть может, это место для меня! Настанет день, и с журавлиной стаей Я поплыву в такой же сизой мгле,
Muzyka rosyjska zawsze była piękna bardzo uduchowiona .To leży w naturze Rosjan . Natomiast ŻURAVLI to juz klasyka w wykonaniu Dmitra Hworostowskiego to CUDOWNE .. Głos extra .
Zu mir sind die toten Soladen zurück gekommen.Mein Vater war Ukrainer meine Mutter Deutsche.Vielen dank dür dieses wunderbare Lied,liebe Grüsse...C.K.
If the Russian people feel so strongly about this music, I suppose it is for the many Russians who died fighting the horrible scourge of Nazism. Why is it that the sacrifice of Russia is so little recognized in the West today?
I think the many Russian heroes should be remembered, and what better way than in the beautiful poetry and music of this song.
it was not russian people died in that war, but soviet!!!!! russian, belorussian, ukranian, georgian, armenian, kazakh, kyrgyz, uzbek, tajik and others were died!!!! by the way, words of this song was written by avar Rasul Gamzatov.
Please do not be so emotional. Please try to see into my basic meaning! My choice of words was wrong. That is no need to attack me. Of course, you are right. The people of Belarus and other Eastern countries suffered the main thrust of the Nazies.
Do not be so emotional. Use your intelligence when you read comments. The world is complicated. Everyone can not know everything about everybody all of the time.
Russia is little recognized, because it was Nazi German AND Russia together who began the war. WWII began with the attack on Poland- from the west it was German and from the east it was Russia.
it is true that hitler had a pact with stalin.they had common intrests on poland after the treaty of versailles.stalin was a fool in some ways.but hitler would have taken over europe and asia if it wasnt for russia.
@ssatrofma ...We are proud of this poetry and music! We think of our heroes! Wir sind stolz auf unsere Poesie und Musik!! Wir denken an unsere Helden!!...
Генерал пуковник Владимир Иванович Жданов 20. октобра 1944. год. ослободио је Београд. Проглашен народним херојем у Југославији, а 19. октобра 1964. год. погинуо у авионској несрећи код Авале. Данас у Београду, на срамоту Србије, нема помена о њему.
I think the slain soldiers in the song are both resurrected and transformed into the Cranes and fly off to oblivion never to be seen again - very moving :(
Dmitri thank you for your dedication to the soldiers who did not return home. Your voice is most beautiful and truly pure with one of the best renditions since the 40's
Dziś (23.II.2009 ) Rosjanie obchodzą Dzień Obrońcy Ojczyzny, tak niedawno zwany Świętem Armii Radzieckiej. Ta piękna pieśń jest hołdem dla wszystkich poległych żołnierzy ,Rosjan, Ukraińców, Polaków, Gruzinów, przedstawicieli wszystkich nacji walczących z hitlerowkimi bestiami. Cześć ich pamięci!!!
In my opinion, there are so many powerful and touching songs in Russia about russian soldiers who died for they Homeland .Dmitry dedicate so damn good this hymn to fallen heroes sometimes because of stupidity of commanders.
It is such a deeply moving song, and even if you don't understand the Russian words, the language of the music is universal....
I believe that all souls who passed away return, in a feeling of Cranes, so beautiful, stilled, bringing us the blessings from heaven, peace and love.....

Dmitri Hvorostovsky ist, und soll für immer, eine Ikone der Opernmusik sowie der Musik der slowakischen Nationen sein...
Seine Stimme ist so stark und das Verlangen, noch sind seine Phrasierung und Dynamik so emotionaler ... so poetisch und sehr kontrolliert. Mae. Hvorostovsky könnte nicht einen besseren Job getan haben, und ist wahrscheinlich die einzige Stimme, die haben konnte, sang diese Lieder als erstaunlich.
@Sieglinde84 Becaus, if man were all at one, there would be no further purpose, no strive, no AMBITION for existence. Thus, we would have to find someone else to compete against (perhaps aliens?) there would always be war of some form, otherwise we would all die.
Such an incredible song, matched with the only voice that could ever do it justice! I sang with Dmitri at Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center a few years ago (no bs, my chorus was the Washington CCS, look it up if you don't believe me) and it was an experience like none other.
Translation:"...soldiers,Who didn't return from the bloody fields,Didn't lie dead...but transformed into white Cranes...They're flying, calling out to us from afar,
The crane formation, is flying, wearily in the sky,Flying in the fog, till dusk.
And in this formation, is left a minute gap,
this is a place reserved for me.
A day will come, when together with the cranes,I will soar in the same blue skies,
Ну не знаю... Абсолютно пустые глаза у Хворостовского. У некоторых, смотрю, слезы в зале текут, браво кричат. Оно понятно: изголодались, бедные, по хорошим голосам. Но эта эмоциональная тупость Хворостовского просто поражает. И техника становится не важна. Как можно ТАКУЮ песню так петь?

auf deutsch Die Kraniche Es sheint mir, dass gefallene Soldaten, Die man sehr lange noch erwarten wird, Grabstaette nicht im Feld gefunden hatten — Sie ziehen, als die Kraniche im Wind. Bis heute noch seit den blutroten tagen Hoert man von oben irhen shrillun Ruf... Vielliecht darum kann niemand etwas sagen Als dieser Zug sich oben langsam ruert... die übersetzung von Semen Venzimerov und Ganna Minkovskaja
That's news to me. Shows you that the Russians can adopt a beautiful song and make it even more beautiful.Because of the Cold War, we in the US never heard ANYTHING from Russia, Hungary, etc. And they tell me there is going to be another war which NOBODY needs!
This time, there are enough nuclear weapons that the entire earth will BLOW UP!And who wins THEN?!!!
THERE IS NEVER GOING TO BE ANOTHER WAR,patriotism lies in our hearts nowaday and not in the battle fields.if someone was to play the hero let him do so ,sorry but we will not stnd up and find ,there is no point any more.
Thanks so much for translating the words into English. I didn't think this video could be anymore beautiful or heartbreaking but knowing the words, it is.

I heard this first commemorating the Unknown Soldier of RUSSIA but I suppose they have them on all sides in all wars. Not so much since they have DNA to identify them with now.
It makes me sad there has to be war at all but Hitler was the attacker for the New World Order back then. Who knows who is it going to be next?
here are the greek lyrics:stigmes stigmes tharo pos i stratiotes pou pesane sti matomeni yie ,the kitonte tharo kato apto homa allexoun yini aspri yerani.
tharthi mia mera pou m'afto to smari sto mega kampo tha petao kego ,san yeranos kalondas apta urania olous esas pou exo afisi edo.
Wow.. When I first heard this, I didn't know what it was about exactly, but thanks to Hvorostovsky's powerful singing, it genuinely moved me..
So I looked it up and for those interested in the meaning behind the song, search for 'Zhuravli' at Wikipedia. (There's also a link to several English translations in the article)..

Kann es nicht sein, dass deshalb wir mitunter,

It sometimes seemed to me that the soldiers,
Who didn’t return from bloody fields,
Didn’t lie down into our ground
But turned into white cranes.
And they are flying and are screaming their voices to us now
And they do it from that old time.
May be it is the reason why we often stop talking ruefully
When we look in sky
IslamRussia 1 year ago
The weary wedge of cranes is flying in sky,
It flies in the end of the day.
And there is a small interval inside this wedge
May be, it is a place for me.
May be, it will be a day and I shall fly
With the flock of cranes in the same blue sky
And I shall call everyone, whose I left in a ground,
From the sky by on the language of birds

If the Russian people feel so strongly about this music, I suppose it is for the many Russians who died fighting the horrible scourge of Nazism. Why is it that the sacrifice of Russia is so little recognized in the West today?

Seine Stimme ist so stark und das Verlangen, noch sind seine Phrasierung und Dynamik so emotionaler ... so poetisch und sehr kontrolliert. Mae. Hvorostovsky könnte nicht einen besseren Job getan haben, und ist wahrscheinlich die einzige Stimme, die haben konnte, sang diese Lieder als erstaunlich.

@Sieglinde84 Becaus, if man were all at one, there would be no further purpose, no strive, no AMBITION for existence. Thus, we would have to find someone else to compete against (perhaps aliens?) there would always be war of some form, otherwise we would all die.

Such an incredible song, matched with the only voice that could ever do it justice! I sang with Dmitri at Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center a few years ago (no bs, my chorus was the Washington CCS, look it up if you don't believe me) and it was an experience like none other.

Translation:"...soldiers,Who didn't return from the bloody fields,Didn't lie dead...but transformed into white Cranes...They're flying, calling out to us from afar,
The crane formation, is flying, wearily in the sky,Flying in the fog, till dusk.
And in this formation, is left a minute gap,
this is a place reserved for me.
A day will come, when together with the cranes,I will soar in the same blue skies,
Calling out from the sky, in bird language,
All to whom, I left on earth. "

Ну не знаю... Абсолютно пустые глаза у Хворостовского. У некоторых, смотрю, слезы в зале текут, браво кричат. Оно понятно: изголодались, бедные, по хорошим голосам. Но эта эмоциональная тупость Хворостовского просто поражает. И техника становится не важна. Как можно ТАКУЮ песню так петь?

Может быть, мне одной так кажется, но то, что он там хмурится, поднимает бровь, закрывает глаза - смахивает на самолюбование, нет искренности, живых эмоций. Театрал.

Летит, летит по небу клин усталый —
Летит в тумане на исходе дня,

Ich sah sie abends oft forueberziehen,
Sie schnuerten meine Seele schmerzenvoll...
Dort unter ihnen ist ein Platz geblieben,
Ein kleiner Platz, den ich einnnehmen soll...
Bald kommt der Tag... Im langsamen Geschwader
Verlasse ich die alte Welt geheim...
Dann rufe ich zusammen mit dem Fater
Euch, teure und gebliebene daheim...

That's news to me. Shows you that the Russians can adopt a beautiful song and make it even more beautiful.Because of the Cold War, we in the US never heard ANYTHING from Russia, Hungary, etc. And they tell me there is going to be another war which NOBODY needs!
This time, there are enough nuclear weapons that the entire earth will BLOW UP!And who wins THEN?!!!

THERE IS NEVER GOING TO BE ANOTHER WAR,patriotism lies in our hearts nowaday and not in the battle fields.if someone was to play the hero let him do so ,sorry but we will not stnd up and find ,there is no point any more.

I heard this first commemorating the Unknown Soldier of RUSSIA but I suppose they have them on all sides in all wars. Not so much since they have DNA to identify them with now.
It makes me sad there has to be war at all but Hitler was the attacker for the New World Order back then. Who knows who is it going to be next?

Wow.. When I first heard this, I didn't know what it was about exactly, but thanks to Hvorostovsky's powerful singing, it genuinely moved me..
So I looked it up and for those interested in the meaning behind the song, search for 'Zhuravli' at Wikipedia. (There's also a link to several English translations in the article)..
