Today we will go to art gallery to enjoy contemporary Russian art! A song “The Last Stroll Before Dusk” will accompany us. Here we’ll see some paintings by Artur Brakhinsky, Maria Boohtiyarova(Maria Bukhtiyarova), and Valery Fedotov.

Hello today we will watch an old Soviet cartoon Umka (Oomka), 1969. Умка [that is from Chukchi language] means a male polar bear.
Like all cartoons in Soviet era it’s nice and kind. And there are beautiful songs in this cartoon. Maybe even you would like to watch it with your kids? It has English subtitles.
comments always welcome
PS There is one more cartoon about this cute polar bear cub. I’ll ask the author of the subtitles to translate it also. So we’ll watch it later.
And like always I want to publish the lyrics what I found in Internet:
МЕЛАНКОЛИЕ
Музыка – П.Теодорович
Слова – Г.Виеру
Еу ну мэ’нтреб де унде вине, вине,
Де унде дорул шь я изворул, дорул,
Мэ луминез ши-мь паре бине, бине,
Кынд вине дорул, кынд вине дорул
(Кынд вине дорул, кынд дорул вине).
Меланколие – дулче мелодие,
Меланколие – мистериос амор.
Меланколие, меланколие
Дин армония инимий ку дор.
Май драг де аморул мей тырзиу май драгэ,
Май драгэ мь-е мындруца драгэ, драгэ,
Май драг мь-е Кодрул ши изворул, дорул,
Кынд вине дорул, кынд вине дорул
(Кынд вине дорул, кынд дорул вине).
НЕЖНАЯ МЕЛОДИЯ
Перевод
Я не спрашиваю себя,
Откуда приходит любовь.
Мне светло на душе и спокойно,
Когда приходит любовь.
Меланхолия – нежная мелодия,
Меланхолия – необыкновенные чувства,
Меланхолия, меланхолия
Из гармонии влюблённого сердца.
Мне дороги мои поздние чувства,
Мне дорога моя любимая,
Мне дороги Кодры и родник,
Когда приходит любовь.
And I did not find a translation this song in English so I’ll just retell you this song from my Russian translation – of course it’s like “broken phone” (we have such saying in Russian) but it’s better than nothing:
Melancholy
I do not ask myself,
Whence comes love.
There is light and calm within my soul,
When love comes.
Melancholy – tender melody,
Melancholy – unusual feelings,
Melancholy, melancholy
appearers from harmony enamored heart.
I cherish my late feelings,
I cherish my beloved,
I cherish Codri and babbling brook
When love comes.
Best wishes for everybody,
love, health and happiness
in the Fist day of March!
