LYRICS:

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!

I am just grateful mankind invented methods of recording which enable me to discover and enjoy the talents in my fellow human beings, past and present, I would otherwise never know about. I love this video. How handsome Leonid is here and how unbelievable the voice. I watch it over and over.  The stance and facial expressions evoke and compel pride and passion but not for the kind of blind patriotism that emits hate and denigration of others. Thank you Leonid for the pleasure of your voice.

[LHaritonov]

@magicmysterytour Thank YOU for finding such precise words describing this song!

[TereniaAnna]

I came across this after looking up Volga Boatmen and went on to explore the other Kharitonov uploads.

In this day and age Mr K. would be feted further than he was at the time ….but it would have been vastly more demanding than I am sure it already was.

Thanks Mr Kharitonovs Senior & Junior !

Interesting to compare with Paul Robeson’s version – I’m amazed how few hits youtube has on his recordings. Another gorgeous bass voice, he studied in Russia for a while and praised his experience.

[LHaritonov]

@TereniaAnna Thank you for your comment! Once Leonid Kharitonov sang together with Paul Robeson. It was a concert given specially for N. Khruschev.

Вот я посмотрел это видео и мне стало очень....стыдно. Стыдно смотреть в их глаза. В глаза наших дедов. Эти глаза смотрят и говорят: "Что же вы ,сынки, с Россией делаете? Что же вы с собой делаете?"

@juliallanillo1 empires rise and fall, yet men still sing. the day that mankind stops singing, from the heart, is the day humanity has ended.

[juliallanillo1]

ITS MEANING IN ENGLISH IS:

"YO, HEAVE HO! YO, HEAVE HO! ONCE MORE, ONCE AGAIN, STILL ONCE MORE, NOW WE FELL THE STOUT BIRCH TREE,

NOW WE PULL HARD: ONE, TWO, THREE.

AY-DA, DA, AY-DA! AY-DA, DA, AY-DA!

AS THE BARGES FLOAT ALONG, TO THE SUN WE SING OUR SONG.

HEY, HEY, LET'S HEAVE A-LONG THE WAY. VOLGA, VOLGA OUR PRIDE,

MIGHTY STREAM SO DEEP AND WIDE."

DESPITE COMMUNIST IDEOLOGY, ART AND CULTURE SHINE WAY MUCH MORE THAN ANY POLITICAL SYSTEM.

[juliallanillo1]

AI-DA, DA AI-DA, AI-DA, DA AI-DA,

VOLGA, VOLGA, MAT-REKA

EY, UKHNEM!  EY, UKHNEM!

YESHCHO RAZIK, YESHCHO DA RAZ!

@Stanislav99325 Согласен с Вами...:-(

@RCBGMK I would definitely go!!! Because Red army choir from St.Petersburg has the same historical and musical heritage as the Aleksanndrov ensemble. Should be high quality performance. I have lived in USSR for 28 years.

最高！！
