Green Green Grass of Home

The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
and there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry,
and there's that old oak tree I used to play on.

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I awake and look around me, at four grey wall surround me
and I realize that I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre -
arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.

Did the russians had the opportunity to sing songs in english during the USSR existence? I know that in Romania this was not possible in the comunist era .

[Straccio]

Well,although were supposed to stick to Russian songs,as far as I know ,they were not forbidden to perform songs in English,even covers of well-known Western tunes like this one.The singer who performs in this video is actually Bulgarian - I am from Bulgaria as well and in our country singers were also allowed to sing in English.I have heard that dictatorship in Romania was especially cruel so maybe that is the reason your singers didn't sing in English.

Ха, че кой му разреши да я изпълнява в СССР!?

[Straccio]

Колкото и да е странно, въпреки цензурата в СССР,на концертите там често са се изпълнявали песни с подчертано западно звучене.Факт са например и честите посещения в страната на певци като Мирей Матьо (Франция) или Дийн Рийд (САЩ) още през 60-те години или огромната популярност на френскоезичните певци Джо Дасен и Салваторе Адамо в Съюза.

БЛАГОДАРЯ!!! :)

Това за времето си е било скандал направо. Песента излиза 1965, а придобива популярност през 1966 в изпълнение на Джери Лий Луис и Том Джоунс.

Вероятно изпълнението е в месеците преди интервенцията на Варшавския договор в ЧССР.

In my opinion singing in USSR with English language wasn't forbidden.

Abba, Boney M and Beatles recorded their music in USSR with English language.

@BTT125 Na baba ti oligofrenijata jja e zabranila!

[sportsnut712001]

@CvetomirBulgarian not everyone LIKED it. Since Slavic are more musically talanted than westeners. And Western Music is Platt in their Rich mussically trained ears. This must be the REAL reason! )))
