Zhavoronok (Glinka) - final version

As promised, this is the actual recording of my performance at my conservatory's accompaniment concert, 5/4/08 - 6.5 months since my first vocal lesson. Unfortunately they didn't have a video recording available.

I was ultra nervous during the 1st verse, but thankfully it got better the 2nd time round.

Жаворонок

Между небом и землёй песня раздаётся,
Неисходною струёй громче громче лётся.
Не видать певца полей где поёт так громко
Над подруженькой своей жаворонок звонкий.

Ветер песенку несёт, а кому, не знает.
Та комы, она поймёт, от ково, узнает!
Лейця, песенка моя песнь надежды сладкой
Кто-то вспомнит про меня и вздохнёт украдкой.

The Lark

Between the sky and the earth a song is heard
An unending stream of sound pours louder, louder.
Unseen is the singer in the field where sings so loudly
Above his mate the sonorous skylark.

The wind carries the song, to whom, it does not know.
She to whom it is sung, she will understand who it is from.
Pour on, my song of sweet hope
Someone remembers me and sighs furtively.

Text: Nestor Vasil'yevich Kukol'nik (1809-1868)
