Vitas: Komarovo!

Vitas: KomarovoPeople in Russia just love “old songs”. “Komarovo” is one of them. Maybe it is not too old poet Mikhail Tanich and composer Igor Nikolayev wrote the song in 1985. The Igor Sklar was the first who sang the song 25 years ago.. But songs should not die and now Vitas sings “Komarovo” and a lot of others pop songs from Soviet time. And public really appreciates it and loves the singer!

You might like to watch the original performance Komarovo in 1985 – WATCH IT.

Russian Video: Admiral Kuznetsov Class Aircraft Carrier!


I just love this video about life on Admiral Kuznetsov Class Aircraft Carrier. I think I never watched such beautiful videos – so calm music accompany the live on the aircraft carrier. Such calm and peaceful life on a such powerful military ship.

Aircraft

The flight deck area is 14,700m² and aircraft take-off is assisted by a bow ski-jump angled at 12°. The flight deck is equipped with arrester wires. Two starboard lifts carry the aircraft from the hangar to the flight deck.

The ship has the capacity to support 16 Yakovlev Yak-41M (Nato code name Freestyle), 12 Sukhoi Su-27K (Nato codename Flanker) fixed-wing aircraft and a range of helicopters including four Kamov Ka-27-LD (Nato codename Helix), 18 Kamov Ka-27 PLO and two Ka-27-S.

Missiles

The Klinok air defence missile system, with 24 vertical launchers and 192 missiles, defends the ship against anti-ship missiles, aircraft and surface ships. The system has a multi-channel electronically steered phased array radar and can achieve a firing rate of one missile every three seconds.

Vitas: Mommy and Son.

Russia is mourning…

Today we are listening a Vitas’ song “Mommy and Son”.

Take, baby, mommy’s hand
The way to Paradise is still dark,
And we shall go with you together straight ahead,
My care is necessary to you there!

I’m scared, mommy!
There is no your hand!
And I shall see never the sun.
The fallen wall gets heavier,
And the spark of a short life dies away.

Go, baby, quietly, I’m with you,
The earthly sorry went away for ever
Only take Memory about the family wih you,
Now it is especially important.

I’m scared, mommy!
There is no your hand!
And I shall see never the sun.
The fallen wall gets heavier,
And the spark of a short life dies away.

Now I ask you not to cry, mommy,
Love and take care of living children!
And we shall go with friends
together straight ahead,
Illuminate our way with your heart!

Memory will keep your image, mommy!
My heart is beating slower…
Of course, the hope will defeat the death,
And the son will return to you in a following life!

I’m scared, mommy!
There is no your hand!
And I shall see never the sun.
The fallen wall gets heavier,
And the spark of a short life dies away.

Возьми, малыш, скорее руку мамы,
Дорога в Рай пока ещё темна,-
И мы пойдём с тобою вместе прямо,-
Тебе забота Там моя нужна!

Мне страшно, мама!
Нет руки твоей!
И солнце никогда я не увижу.
Упавшая стена всё тяжелей,
И гаснет огонёк недолгой жизни.

Иди, малыш, спокойно, я с тобою,
Печаль земная навсегда ушла,
Лишь Память о семье возьми с собою,
Сейчас она особенно важна.

Мне страшно, мама!
Нет руки твоей!
И солнце никогда я не увижу.
Упавшая стена всё тяжелей,
И гаснет огонёк недолгой жизни.

Теперь тебя прошу не плакать, мама,
Живых детей люби и береги!
А мы пойдём с друзьями вместе прямо,
Слезами нам дорогу освети!

Твой образ, мама, Память сохранит!
Сердечко моё медленнее бьётся…
Надежда смерть, конечно, победит,
И в следующей жизни сын к тебе вернётся!

Мне страшно, мама!
Нет руки твоей!
И солнце никогда я не увижу.
Упавшая стена всё тяжелей,
И гаснет огонёк недолгой жизни.

Valentina Tolkunova: "I can not do otherwise"

Valentina Tolkunova, a legend of the Soviet stage, has died at the age of 63 from cancer.

The singer passed away on March 22 in a hospital. She had fallen very ill lately, but until the very end she continued singing – because she “could not do otherwise”.

People called you The Soul of Russian song. Her intimate gentle voice and soft chamber intonations, songs what she sang was close to all Russian women…

And like in these words “I can not do otherwise” Valentina Tolkunova always gave the audiences all she lived for – love, tenderness and frankness.

I can not do otherwise

“I will love you always
I can not do otherwise…”

Rest in peace, Valentina.

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 😉
