Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Farewell, Happiness, a folk song a capella

This is from a concert To Russia with Love, 2007, but a different one than has been released on DVD.

Sheet music: http://www.russianplanet.ru/music/narod/radost.pdf

Прощай, радость


Прощай, радость, жизнь моя,
Слышу едешь без меня.
Знать должен с тобою расстаться,
Тебя мне больше не видать.

Темна ноченька! Эх, да не спится!

Сам я знаю, почему
Ты, девченочка, меня...
Ты одна меня тревожишь.
Одна решила мой спокой.

Темна ноченька! Эх, да не спится!

Вспомни, вспомни майский день!
Мы купаться с милой шли.
Мы садились на песочек.
На желтый, на мелкой песок.

Темна ноченька! Эх, да не спится!

Farewell, happiness, my life,
I know you go around without me
It means we must part;
I won't see you any more
Dark little night! Ah, there's no sleeping!
I myself don't know why
You, dear little girl, ...
You alone disturb me,
You alone decided my peace.
(refrain; Dark etc)
Remember, remember that May day,
My dear one and I went to swim.
We sat on the sand,
On the yellow, the soft (?) sand.

Great song and heartbreaking interpretation by Dmitri! Although I can't understand a single word (I'm Italian), I feel the deepness and sadness of this beautiful music.

@Gabry9242 The lyrics and translation are in the description. Also somewhere here I gave the instructions on how to find the sheet music. Yes, I completely agree with you!

This is beautiful. Tears are brought to my eyes.

Does anyone know if there's sheet music for this?

[frufruJ]

@tiwo1008 I DID!! Google:

"прощай радость ноты" russian planet

and the only link that appears should be it. Find "прощай радость" (third song) and click "ноты". (Oh, the wonders of the internet combined with multilingualism... :-) ) It's the notes, the Russian text, the Russian transliteration AND the translation. Enjoy! ;-)

Also, I'll add the link to the description, so that it's easier to find.

Jopa löytyi minulle päivän Dmitri. Meinasin aivan pakahtua voimakkaista tunteista. Koskettava. Hän laulaa kuka osaa. Dmitri osaa. Kiitos!

It stirs up tender memories of the ones we loved and lost. Thank you for posting that translation. *grabbing tissues*

[Gabry9242]
