Home recording of me singing a very old Russian Folk song, "Red Moon" (with translation provided). Had to use a karaoke file as an accompaniment, it is too fast, and the main voice there is too loud, so i had to scream over it, but that was all i had. I have no accompanying musician. If you like to play guitar or other instrument, you are welcome to make a soundtrack for me..:)
ОКРАСИЛСЯ МЕСЯЦ БАГРЯНЦЕМ
-------------------------
(музыка песни: Яков Пригожий,
слова народные)
----------------------------
Окрасился месяц багрянцем,
Где волны шумели у скал.
- Поедем, красотка, кататься,
Давно я тебя поджидал.
.....................
- Я еду с тобою охотно,
Я волны морские люблю.
Дай парусу полную волю,
Сама же я сяду к рулю.
.....................
- Ты правишь в открытое море,
Где с бурей не справиться нам.
В такую шальную погоду
Нельзя доверяться волнам.
..........................
- Нельзя? Почему ж, дорогой мой?
А в прошлой, минувшей судьбе,
Ты помнишь, изменник коварный,
Как я доверялась тебе?
............................
И это сказавши, вонзила
В грудь ножик булатный ему.
Сама с обессиленным сердцем
Нырнула в морскую волну.
............................
Окрасился месяц багрянцем,
Где волны шумели у скал.
- поедем, красотка, кататься,
Давно я тебя поджидал.
---------------------------
My translaton:
--------------------------------
The Moon was tinted red
Where sea waves were roaring
- Hey, pretty girl, let's go boating,
I have been waiting for this.
-------------------------------
-I am accepting it with pleasure,
Since I love sea waves so much!
You give your sail full freedom
And i will steer your boat.
-------------------------------
-Hey, sweetie, you are steering
Into the open sea, we may lose control!
In such a storm one should not
Trust angry ocean waves!
-------------------------------
Oh, really? Why not, darling?
And do you remember, you heartless cheater,
How in our happier days
I completely trusted myself to you?
---------------------------------
And this said, she stabbed
His chest with a knife,
And then jumped into roaring sea waves
To stop her exhausted heart....
Serafima..2009.

  • Народ песня замечательная!!!!

    Слава Богу что есть такие голоса!

  • @victot2012 Спасибо огромное! Песня дейсвительно замечательная! В официальной версии самый главный, трагический куплет был выброшен. Здесь я (хоть и плохо) пою полную версию, к тому же предлагаю полный перевод. Я рада, что кому-то понравилось! Спасибо!

  • I like your translation very much. Thank you for posting .

  • @thaidrak I am glad! Thanks a lot! Sorry for a bad vocal..:)))

see all

  • @androgender and who the hell do you think you are? Unbelievable.

  • simply wonderful, my dear Sima:)

  • Oh, thanks! As far as I remember L.Ruslanova, suffered all the horrors of Stalinism, inspite of her enormous popularuty, or maybe because of it. The final verse , as tragical as it is, simply cannot be removed, because without it, the song simply does not make any sense! It is all about passion, after all!

  • @russiancatsima

    Janna Bichevskaya doesn't sing the final verse either (but adds 2 extra verses). Janna Aguzarova sang it 3+ weeks ago on New Years Eve and didn't sing the final verse either!

    I originally found this page looking for information after hearing Aguzarova's version. Thanks for introducing me to Lidia Ruslanova. The last few days I've been listening to her songs and reading all about her life story. Very interesting!

    Лидия Русланова Окрасился месяц багрянцем

    Interesting, that in Ruslanova's version "the stabbing" part was omitted..I guess was not fit for Communist society.
