Regina Spektor singing The Prayer of François Villon by Bulat Okudzhava at Housing Works, NYC

Here's Regina Spektor live at Housing Works Cafe, NYC on May 17, 2011. She was part of the event billed as "Adventures in the Free World: Readings and Music by David Bezmozgis, Jack Dishel, and Regina Spektor".

There were readings/performances by Jack and David in between, but I'll upload Regina's part of the event for now:

Time Is All Around
The Prayer of François Villon cover by Bulat Okudzhava
Reading an excerpt from David Bezmozgis's novel, "The Free World"
Call Them Brothers (Jack Dishel feat. Regina)

Enjoy!

Russian language is the most beautiful

[Maijechka]

правда чудесно! волшебно! странно слушать как она поет по русски но какая она очиравательная.

[elebunny45]

Such beautiful gibberish... I don't care if I don't understand, I'll still listen to this over again.

[lordbled]

on Regina's voice yeah!

[MariaVlaskina]

Она прекрасна! Так давно уехала из России, а родной язык не забывает. Молодец!

[AndreiSmolkin]

thank you for the video from Russia!!

[Marie15991]

 в такие моменты я благодарю судьбу, что говорю на этом прекрасном языке и имею возможность слушать и читать такие потрясающие вещи в оригинале, не нуждаясь в переводе.

She's reading "The Free World" by David Bezmozgis.

[msabodzhan]

девочка конечно милая, но исполнение поверхностное. особенно отвлекает эпатажная манерность, наигранность глубоких чувств. как-то неверится.

[vmalinsk]

Spasibo, Regina! you DID get it!

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

How am I only discovering this performance NOW? She sings so beautifully in Russian.
