The Romanovs' Goodbye ft the song 'Russia' by Yulia

"До свидания" Романовых
(The Romanovs' Goodbye)

One of my UK fans, Rose was inspired by my song 'Russia' to create a music video. It shows the last few hours of the last Russian Imperial Family before their murder by firing squad at Ipatiev House, with flashbacks to a more happier and naive time. Rose says, 'The music was so beautiful and it has for me a mournful and haunting quality about it.'

This music video uses film footage from 'Nicholas & Alexandra' from the following Romanov website: http://www.frozentears.org

Russia
Music and Lyrics by Yulia MacLean
(English Translation)
Crops have not been gathered yet
From your fields,
Your land is striped with roads
The light-brown-haired heads
Of your sons
Don't appear light brown anymore,
But grey

Cloud... A smokey
Cloud of blizzard
Rises from the ground
And from the roads
Let your clear blue sky
Be everywhere I go

Chorus:
You're my love -- Russia
You're my sorrow -- Russia
You're my fate -- Russia
You're my soul -- Russia

Endless, endless forests
Are shivering
Silence, silence
Is throughout
Your land
But I can hear the
Voices of your bottomless rivers
And a drunken drone and
Your men's delirium
Coming from afar...

Chorus.

Crops have not been gathered yet...
Your land is striped with roads...
The light-brown-haired heads...
Don't appear light brown anymore.

Oh, I love this song! It's one of my favourites by you Yulia, it's so emotional (I wish I knew what the beautiful words mean). When I hear this song I always think about my grandfather. He came from Russia to Sweden in the 1940's and used to sing Russian songs to my mother. Sadly I never got to know him before he passed away, I would have liked to ask him about his life back in Russia and perhaps he could have taught me some Russian songs too. Thank you Yulia for writing this beautiful song!
