She was often referred to as ‘Miss Volga’ in America, and none other than ‘the Russian Edith Piaf’ in France. The Russian singer brought her authentic style of music wherever she performed, winning the hearts of Charles Aznavour, Frank Sinatra and Charlie Chaplin, while The Beatles even suggested recording an album with Zykina.

Ludmila Zykina was pretty active in her 80, recently she was singing in Eurovision (Russian Video: Ludmila Zykina 80 Birthday). He had great plans to go on a grandiose concert tour that would last for two months and cover more than 20 major Russian cities. But it did not happened. But big beautiful life happened.
THANK YOU LUDMILA GEORGIEVNA ZYKINA!

Today I’ll show you one of the most beautiful videos and we will listen to one of her best songs.
Издалека долго течет река Волга, Течет река Волга, конца и края нет Среди хлебов спелых, среди снегов белых Течет моя Волга ,а мне семнадцать лет. Сказала мать :”Бывает все, сынок. Издалека долго течет река Волга, Твой первый взгляд, твой первый плеск весла- Издалека долго течет река Волга, Здесь мой причал и здесь мои друзья – Издалека долго течет река Волга, |
From far away The river Volga long flows, The river Volga flows, And there is no end to it. Among ripe crops, among white snows my Volga flows, And I am seventeen. My Mother has told me, Anything can happen, son. From far away Among ripe crops, among white snows I have been looking at you, Volga, From far away |
