Калинка kalinka

"Kalinka" (Russian: Калинка) might be the best-known Russian song of all time. It has been mistaken as being a genuine folksong,[citation needed] but was actually written in 1860 by the composer and folklorist Ivan Petrovich Larionov 1830-1889[citation needed] and first performed in Saratov as part of a theatrical entertainment that he had composed.[citation needed] Soon it was added to the repertory of a folk choral group.

The song celebrates a snowball tree, with a speedy tempo and light-hearted lyrics. Singers and dancers many a time get into a frenzied celebration of song and dance while performing this song. The actual content of the song cannot be translated, as it possesses many Russian expressions and words that can hold a double meaning and have no equivalent in other languages.
In 2003, Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea FC. Since then, "Kalinka" has been associated with the London based Football Club and is often played before or after important matches, including the Champions League clashes with FC Barcelona and the Carling Cup final.

Several clubs and companies have been named Kalinka as well as a breed of show dog, the Kalinka terrier, and a minor character in Mega Man 4.
In 1998 the Danish band Infernal covered the song to popularity in Scandinavia.
In Crash Tag Team Racing track Tire & Ice, a slight sound of Kalinka is heard.

"Kalinka" is one of the themes for Atari's arcade version of Tetris

Калинка, калинка, калинка моя! В саду ягода малинка, малинка моя!
Ах, под сосною, под зеленою, Спать положите вы меня! Ай-люли, люли, ай-люли, Спать положите вы меня.
Калинка, калинка, калинка моя! В саду ягода малинка, малинка моя!
