The Town of Suzdal, Part of the Russian Soul!


All I know about this video is that it is about a town called Suzdal and like many Russian towns it is beautiful. It comes from cortezawwris’s Channel on YouTube and they say it was their first video. I like it and it has the feel of the real Russia that I talk about so many times. The music is Christmas song – Kaliadka. This is what Russia looks like as you travel.

Suzdal is part of the soul of Russia…

Peter Nalitch “Lost And Forgotten”

Lyrics: Peter Nalitch “Lost And Forgotten” (Потерянный и забытый)

Would you believe,
Lord of Mercy
Would you be so good, Lord
I wanna love her now
And I wanna feel that now with all,
All of those kisses and sweet embraces

Here am I
Lost and forgotten
For this cruel cruel time
When I’m first time in love
Now that is
Now that is why I sing,
Lord of Mercy,
And I hope now that you hear me
Oh yeah

— What are you doing man?
— I am looking at her photos
What should I do with them?
— Come drop them to the fire!
— Yes, man
I’m gonna burn them now
Cause I have to forget her now with all,
All of those kisses and sweet embraces

Here am I
Lost and forgotten
For this cruel cruel time
When I’m first time in love
Now that is
Now that is why I sing,
Lord of Mercy,
And I hope now that you hear me oh…

Here am I
Lost and forgotten
For this cruel cruel time
When I’m first time in love
Now that is
Now that is why I sing,
Lord of Mercy,
And I hope now that you hear me, oh
Bring her back to me.

Поверишь ли ты,
Милостивый Господь,
Будешь ли так добр, Боже!
Я хочу любить её сейчас,
Я хочу чувствовать всё это:
Все эти поцелуи и нежные объятия.

И вот я здесь,
Потерянный и забытый,
В это жестокое, жестокое время —
Когда я первый раз влюблен.
Поэтому,
Поэтому я пою,
Милостивый Господь,
И я надеюсь, что ты меня слышишь.
О, да.

— Что ты делаешь, друг?
— Смотрю её фотографии.
Что мне с ними сделать?
— Порви их и сожги!
— Да, друг!
Я сожгу их сейчас,
Потому что должен забыть её со всем этим:
Со всеми этими поцелуями и нежными объятиями.

И вот я здесь,
Потерянный и забытый,
В это жестокое, жестокое время —
Когда я первый раз влюблен.
Поэтому,
Поэтому я пою,
Милостивый Господь,
И я надеюсь, что ты меня слышишь, о…

И вот я здесь,
Потерянный и забытый,
В это жестокое, жестокое время —
Когда я первый раз влюблен.
Поэтому,
Поэтому я пою,
Милостивый Господь,
И я надеюсь, что ты меня слышишь, о.
Верни её назад мне.

Russian Video: Peter Nalitch – Guitar!

Peter NalitchPeter Nalitch is Russian 28 years old composer, musician and singer. Who became famous and loved by Internet. He and his friends made a clip and put it on Youtube and over 70 000 Russians watched this video during the first month.

Russians just love his first masterpiece – a funny song “Guitar” where he put all together and stirred “international” English words and then sang them very musically with Gypsy expression.

Today we will watch the original clip what was put on YouTube April 24, 2007 and what was already watched 2 804 608 times (maybe it’s already more while I was writing these words).

Peter Nalitch “Guitar”, Lyrics

I have never been lonely, cause me is so cool.
Baby, you have a possibility play it with me.
I have never been clever, because need it never
Baby, you have a possibility play it with me.

Guitar guitar guitar guitar, come to my boudoir,
Baby, you have a possibility play it with me.
Guitar guitar guitar guitar, jump to my jaguar,
Baby, you have a possibility play it with me.

I put on my pajamas and go to Bahamas.
Now you have no possibility play it with me

Guitar guitar guitar guitar, come to my boudoir,
Baby, you have a possibility play it with me.
Guitar guitar guitar guitar, jump to my jaguar,
Baby, you have a possibility play it with me.

————–

Do not take the song too serious – for Russians (don’t forget “Guitar” was made for Russians) it’s just a funny parody. Russians (even me) can understand just: guitar, jaguar, baby, possibility, pajamas, Bahamas… and that is almost it 😉
