Moscow nights

Podmoskovniye vechera mit englischem Text. Written by John Woodsworth from Ottawa, Canada, at 5th of November 2000!
For Svetla!
Moscow Nights (Podmoskovnye vechera)

In the trees all round scarce is heard a sound,

Leaves have fallen still 'til the light...

If you only knew how much I think of you

On these warm, sultry Moscow nights!




See the streamlet move yet so faintly move,

Shimm'ring in the moon's silv'ry light...

Hear -- a song is heard, yet oh so faintly heard,

So sublime are these Moscow nights!




Why the look of fear? What is wrong, my dear?

Why is your poor head bent so low?

Its so hard to tell, yet so hard not to tell

All the things my heart feels and knows!




See the breaking dawn, we'll be moving along...

Promise me this one small delight:

That you won't forget the happy times we've met

On these warm, sultry (summer) Moscow nights!

I keep coming back to this beautiful video and I'm so honoured it's dedicated to me! :) I've got this also on my mp3 player along with several other songs from you.

Thank you!

[medianmusic]

@Svetlailieva Yeah, your version brought this song straight into my heart!

Best wishes, medianmusic

@Svetlailieva Hallo Svetla, I dedicated this tune to you, because I love your singing and playing and because you smiled this song back into my mind after a long long time! Look at your video "Podmoskovje vechera" and you should see and hear what I mean!

I hope to hear lots of songs from you!

Best wishes from medianmusic

@medianmusic Probably the wrong choice of words; Andy Warhol coined the term 'Superstar'. If this song is written by John Woodsworth that translated Anastasia et al. - He is a wonderful and great man to many non-russian reading people. Nice performance too! Good song regardless of its origin anyway. All the best!

@OneHectare Hello, who do you call "SUPERSTAR"?

Greetings from medianmusic

John translated the Ringing Cedars books to english- SUPERSTAR.
