Hvorostovsky - Little Bell

[thomasmoredamian]

Like dorks in America says (but it applies, I guess), he ROCKS!

prekrasnaja artist.

English of v v 3 and 4:

And I remembered other nights

And the fields and forests of my homeland

And from my long-dry eyes

Ran, like a spark, a tear.

Monotonously rings the little bell.

Lightly wafting into the distance;

And my coachman has fallen silent, and the road

Before me is so far, so far.

This melody is a modern composition. The older folk-song, in a major key, is on YouTube in several versions. Try the one with Nicolai Gedda, tenor.

@urmorph Thanks for the translation and for the tip with the traditional and the modern version. It's one of my most favourite songs.

[urmorph]

English of v v 1 and 2:

Monotonously rings the little bell,

And the dust rises lightly on the road,

And mournfully across the even field

Mournfully floats the song of the coachman.

So much sadness is in that mournful song,

So much feeling in the tune of my native land,

That in my cold, empty breast

My heart kindled like a flame.

(I'm running out of space, so v v 3 and 4 will follow in the next post.)

Hey, what happen to the lady in the mandolin, she fainted to her left.. Good selected group

I am not a musician. Now days it seems no one

like him. Dmitriy Hvorostovskiy is the real

Miracle! If You are learning Russian and You

are interested in folks songs(bards) try to search "Galina Chomchik" (Галина Хомчик).

Siberian health and good luck! Happy New Year!

[Eduardy1963]

No problems.

Колокольчик

words И. Макаров, music А. Гурилев.

You must to have a big heart if you

feel this voice and song. Blessings

from the Heaven to You!

All this was written and sung in Tzarist Russia, Russian Empire, free land for everybody and infinitelly wealthy before bolshevik monsters took over and sucked her dry to the bones!

[cedricbp]

It's so melancholic and peaceful. I wish I understood the lyrics, or read Japanese.
