A song about a friend (Песня о друге) - Vladimir Vysotsky

A song about a friend (Песня о друге) by Vladimir Vysotsky

This is another very nice and simple arrangement made by Igor Varfolomeev (www.lute.ru) and can be found on his web site in his Issue1 collection. This song is part of the movie "Vertikal" and was performed by well known Russian singer Vladimir Vysotsky.

Played on a Robert England Hauser Guitar
Recorded with a pair of Peluso CEMC-6 microphones

Svilen, thank you.

I speak Russian. And I used to sing this and other VV's songs with my friends in college. I asked you about the words because I was wondering if you knew the feeling, the essence that you had to convey while playing it.

Hi Gennady,

My Russian is quite rusty but I can piece together a good part of the meaning and I've seen the movie a very long time ago too. Twenty years ago my Russian was not bad at all but since then not much chance to preserve it unfortunately

Thank you!

You can google "Песня о друге" and you can find the words on a few different sites. I can's post a URL in a comment because youtube does not allow that.
