I loved you. Я Вас любил. Пушкин. Pushkin. Anna Buntovnikova&Dido Durmanovic

This is a famous Russian romance on the lyrics by Alexander Pushkin. Music by B. Sheremetyev. Performed by Anna Buntovnikova and Dido Durmanovic (Анна Бунтовникова, Дидо Дурманович)

I loved you once
My love for you it may be
Within this heart of mine is still aglow.
But let it not concern you any longer,
I wouldn't have it pain you anymore.

I loved you once...
So hopelessly, in silence
By shyness
now , then jealousy beset.
My love for you has been so true, so tender
As God may grant
Another's may prove yet.

Thank you Brett,

What I love about English, that when you say "I love you" it doesn't matter are you woman or man - you say it the same way. In original Russian version it's a man's poem.

Unfortunately this music is not mine. It was written more than 100 years ago, by B.Sheremetiev. I just love to sing it.

I do not speak Russian, but even in the English translation, these words by the Russian national poet Pushkin are very moving for me ... here is another song by my friend Anna Buntovnikova, accompanied by Dido Durmanovic on guitar, in Anna's show Magic Russian Songs, recorded at the Folk Centre in Adelaide on Friday 27th August 2010, ...just 8 days ago.

Anna presents this traditional piece with passion and beauty.

Thanks, Anna and Dido.
