February Challenge
So, I’ve spent the last few weeks singing Очи чёрные (I don’t distinguish myself much for originality, do I?). It wasn’t a very pleasant experience for anyone within earshot, I assure you, ;-) but it was something unusual for me and so it was kind of fun, actually. Here’s a link to one version of the song, not necessarily the one I like best, but at least it stays close to the lyrics I have (more on that on my log). Очи чёрные, очи жгучие, Очи страстные и прекрасные, Как люблю я вас, как боюсь я вас, Знать увидел вас я не в добрый час. Очи чёрные, очи пламенны И мaнят они в страны дальные, Где царит любовь, где царит покой, Где страданья нет, где вражды запрет. Очи чёрные, очи жгучие, Очи страстные и прекрасные, Как люблю я вас, как боюсь я вас, Знать увидел вас я не в добрый час. Не встречал бы вас, не страдал бы так, Я бы прожил жизнь улыбаючись, Вы сгубили меня очи чёрные Унесли на век моё счастье. Очи чёрные, очи жгучие, Очи страстные и прекрасные, Как люблю я вас, как боюсь я вас, Знать увидел вас я не в добрый час. Dark eyes, burning eyes Passionate and splendid eyes How I love you, How I fear you Verily, I saw you at a sinister hour Dark eyes, flaming eyes They implore me into faraway lands Where love reigns, where peace reigns Where there is no suffering, where war is forbidden Dark eyes, burning eyes Passionate and splendid eyes I love you so, I fear you so Verily, I saw you at a sinister hour If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be suffering so I would have lived my life smiling You have ruined me, dark eyes You have taken my happiness away forever Dark eyes, burning eyes Passionate and splendid eyes I love you so, I fear you so Verily, I saw you at a sinister hour 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Excuse the military theme, but I like this one and I don't know many other russian songs.
1954В путь В путь Музыка: Василий Соловьев-Седой Слова: Михаил Дудин Путь далёк у нас с тобою, Веселей, солдат, гляди! Вьётся, вьётся знамя полковое, Командиры впереди. Солдаты, в путь, в путь, в путь! А для тебя, родная, Есть почта полевая. Прощай! Труба зовёт, Солдаты - в поход! Каждый воин, парень бравый, Смотрит соколом в строю. Породнились мы со славой, Славу добыли в бою. Пусть враги запомнят это: Не грозим, а говорим. Мы прошли с тобой полсвета. Если надо - повторим. Солдаты, в путь, в путь, в путь! А для тебя, родная, Есть почта полевая. Прощай! Труба зовёт, Солдаты - в поход! А теперь для нас настали Дни учёбы и труда. Год за годом только процветали Наши сёла-города! Солдаты, в путь, в путь, в путь! А для тебя, родная, Есть почта полевая. Прощай! Труба зовёт, Солдаты - в поход! The road is long for us (and you) Cheer up soldier, look! The flags of the regiment fly, The commanders ahead. Soldiers, go on, go on, go on! And for you, darling, There is a letter (?) Bye! The trumpet is calling, Soldiers, let’s march! Every warrior, courageous guy, Looks like a falcon in formation. We are one with glory, We fought with glory. Let the enemies remember this: It’s not a threat, just saying. We’ve been in half the world together And we’ll do it again if we have to. Soldiers, go on, go on, go on! And for you, darling, There is a letter (?) Bye! The trumpet is calling, Soldiers, let’s march! And now for us have come Days of learning and work. In the years to come Our village Will only blossom! Soldiers, go on, go on, go on! And for you, darling, There is a letter (?) Bye! The trumpet is calling, Soldiers, let’s march! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Damn. This is what I get for procrastinating. I had worked on Очи чёрные as well. I'll have to find another
song. Oh well, I have all day, right? And Josquin: great news :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You could give your own version :) Why change songs?

Hey cosmonauts, I need help to decide which textbook to use next. For the record, I've
started watching Russian films. Still don't have the time to read anything else, though. I've been through all the Assimils, Nina Potapova's book, Living Language and I'm about to finish the old 50's TY Russian. I'm considering going for an intermediate textbook but maybe I'm still missing something. Of course I don't know the declensions by heart but it's useless to just read more beginner's books with declension charts. My passive skills have improved a bit and that's my focus, anyway. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I know it's hard, but try to get "Русский Язык" by Овсиенко, the 2nd book, for intermediate learners. It's an amazing book for the intermediate level, with a lot of texts and some exercises. DON'T get the 1st one, it sucks.

Saw it; It's entirely in Russian, I think I need something transitional before facing a
monolingual textbook :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

renaissancemedi’s right! Why change the song? I’ve listened to dozens of versions of Очи чёрные and I almost couldn't find two which used exactly the same lyrics. 1 person has voted this message useful |
