Russian Lyrics:

Чунга-Чанга синий небосвод
Чунга-Чанга лето круглый год
Чунга-Чанга весело живем
Чунга-Чанга песенку поем:

Чудо-остров чудо-остров
Жить на нем легко и просто
Жить на нем легко и просто
Чунга-Чанга
Наше счастье постоянно
Жуй кокосы ешь бананы
Жуй кокосы ешь бананы
Чунга-Чанга.

Чунга-Чанга места лучше нет
Чунга-Чанга мы не знаем бед
Чунга-Чанга кто здесь прожил час
Чунга-Чанга не покинет нас.

Чудо-остров чудо-остров
Жить на нем легко и просто
Жить на нем легко и просто
Чунга-Чанга
Наше счастье постоянно
Жуй кокосы ешь бананы
Жуй кокосы ешь бананы
Чунга-Чанга.

Чунга-Чанга синий небосвод
Чунга-Чанга лето круглый год
Чунга-Чанга весело живем
Чунга-Чанга песенку поем:

Чудо-остров чудо-остров
Жить на нем легко и просто
Жить на нем легко и просто
Чунга-Чанга
Наше счастье постоянно
Жуй кокосы ешь бананы
Жуй кокосы ешь бананы
Чунга-Чанга
Чунга-Чанга

Translation in English:

Chunga-Changa deep blue dome of the sky

Living on it is easy and effortless
Living on it is easy and effortless
Chunga-Changa

Our happiness is constant
Chew coconuts eat bananas
Chew coconuts eat bananas
Chunga-Changa

Russian Video: Generalissimo Suvorov!

Hello,

Today we had fun! We love kids and we love marches! And we found this fantastic video: cadet’s ensemble “CADET” from Krasnoyarsk sings a song «Generalissimo Suvorov».

Hope you like this video and for our readers who wants to know more:

A cadet is a future officer in the military, mostly boy who goes to special school – Cadet Corp. We tried to find out how many Cadet Corps we have in modern Russia – we did not find this information but we have 12 Cadet Corps just in Moscow!

Alexander Suvorov – (November 24, 1729 – May 18, 1800), was the fourth and last generalissimus of Russian Empire. One of the few great generals in history who never lost a battle, he was famed for his manual The Science of Victory and noted for the sayings “Train hard, fight easy”, “The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is a fine chap”, “Perish yourself but rescue your comrade!”. He taught his soldiers to attack instantly and decisively: ‘attack with the cold steel – push hard with the bayonet!’ His soldiers adored him. He joked with the men, called the common soldiers ‘brother’, and shrewdly presented the results of detailed planning and careful strategy as the work of inspiration.(Continue to read in Wikipedia)

Refrain of this song:
Generalissimo Suvorov is soldiers’ friend
is soldiers’ brother,
Generalissimo Suvor: Alps – no problem and
mountains – no problem,
Soldiers with him do not have barriers.

Best wishes and have a good day,

Russian Video: Kazantip – National Park in Crimea!

Hello,

Today we’ll watch a beautiful and relaxing presentation of Kazantip – Crimean National Park:

A little more information about Kazantip (Ukrainian: Казантип, Kazantyp; Russian: Казантип, Kazantip; Crimean Tatar: Qazan Tip) is a headland (or a cape) located in the northeastern part of the Crimean peninsula (in Ukraine) on the shore of the Azov Sea. The name Kazantip comes from the Crimean Tatar name qazan tüp that means bottom of a cauldron referring to its concave profile. It extends far into the sea from the coastline with its length being about 3-4 km. Its highest point is 107 meters above the sea level, with the average being 30-40 meters while its lowest inland point is 20-30 meters above the sea level… (Read more in Wikipedia)

Maybe it could be interesting to know that KaZantip (also known simply as “Z”) is also an electronic dance music festival held every year on the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine.

Have a good day and maybe it’s time to plan your next visit to some National Park,

Russian Video: Thrilling Videos from Russia Today!

Hello,

Today we will watch two short videos form Russia Today.

For some people like Kyle it will be interesting to watch a helicopter fighting with fire and sending to the fire 5 tons of water.

“Firefighters use helicopters to stop massive fires like those regularly hitting California. Usually taking a camera close enough to capture several tonnes of water falling down is too risky, but RT managed to take a video from only a hundred meters away.”

People like Svet will be interested in video about feeding of leopard baby.

“Feeding leopards is a challenge… Especially the newborns. The little snarling furries just don’t know the milk is good for them, even when taken from human hands.”

Have a good day

Russian Video: Valentin Serov – Paintigs!

Hello,

When did you go to an Art Museum recently? When did you go to Conservatory recently? If you asked us the question I would have to admit that last time we visited Art Museum long time ago… and I also must admit that I feel nostalgia for Art. That’s why today for Russian Video from Russia I chose a slide-show of Valentin Serov painting with beautiful classic music:

For our readers who wants to know more about Valentin Serov:

One of the greatest Russian portrait painters, Serov was born on January 19, 1865, in the family of the composer A. N. Serov, author of the operas Judith, Rogneda, and the Evil Power. As a young boy, Serov might have met many luminaries of Russian culture of the time — Stasov, Repin, Ghe, Antokolskii — who visited his father…

Look at more Valentin Serov’s paintings here!

Have a good day and maybe this video inspirited you to visit Art Gallery,
