LIRYCS:

Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Now we fell the stout birch tree,
Now we pull hard: one, two, three.
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Now we fell the stout birch tree

Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
On the bank we walk along,
To the sun we sing our song.
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
To the sun we sing our song.

Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Ah, youVolgaMother River
Wide and deep
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Wide and deep.

+++++

Эй, ухнем, эй, ухнем!
Еще разик, еще раз!
Эй, ухнем, эй, ухнем!
Еще разик, еще раз!
Разовьем мы березу,
Разовьем мы кудряву,
Ай да, да, ай да!
Ай да, да, ай да!
Разовьем мы кудряву.

Эй, ухнем, эй, ухнем!
Еще разик, еще раз!
Эй, ухнем, эй, ухнем!
Еще разик, еще раз!
Мы по бережку идем,
Песню солнышку поем,
Ай да, да, ай да!
Ай да, да, ай да!
Песню солнышку, поем!

Эй, ухнем, эй, ухнем!
Еще разик, еще раз!
Эй, ухнем, ей, ухнем!
Еще разик, еще раз!
Эх ты, Волга, мать-река,
Широка и глубока,
Ай да, да, ай да!
Ай да, да, ай да!
Широка и глубока!

Mr Haritonov, the bass voice you have is beautiful, and that note you hit at the end is amazing. It is because of you I want to learn to sing like this, and I've never sung in my life!

[kozmon0t]

This is the best song to warm up your bass voice.

It's also a good song to haul a barge

Thi song is just beautiful, thanks for share this with us

[musicalmike235]

Pretty good for a bunch of Communists (cone on, the recording was black and white, dont tell me this was recorded after the Soviet Union collapsed).

Okay, in all seriousness, I love Russian music; whether it's Russian folk music like this, Shostikovich, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, or Korsakov. Especially Mussogsky, and his Pictures at an Exhibition. The music evokes such emotion and effectively paints detailed pictures in your mind as you listen.

epic ,I can't describe better my impression about this...

[warboss1100]

I sing this to myself during any form of work i do in my life...

And it gets done.
