Amazing voice and a beautiful song.
Thank you, Saker.
Lovely melody. Beautiful young woman. Radiant voice.
Where can I find a translation to this song ?
Thanks for this
It’s hard to translate songs and poetry, but it’s something like this:
Lyrics:
Curling, the long path curls, The
horizon creeps behind the haze,
And along this long path,
After darlings, I’m going to the front.
He dreams more and more, more often, more often,
How he goes with the regiments into battle and smoke … I
rose, I would rush to the bird,
I would fall next to him.
Curling, curling into the distance my little path,
Outside the window is dawn.
I am alone, alone standing at the poplar,
And it is insulting to the heart – there are no wings.
Thank you for the translation effort.
Recalls this famous war song, forever a keystone poem-melody. Sung by a genius talent.

Thanks for reminding me about that song Larchmonter445. It tugs at the heartstrings every time I hear that particular version. Sung by a wonderful singer who passed away too soon. I’ve had it bookmarked for some time.
The story behind The Cranes is very interesting, very much the shared sorrow of war as a universal wound.
A ‘Russian’ writer, a Dagestani, was inspired in Hiroshima by a little girl coping with the surrounding remnants of the horror of the nuclear bombing. She was crafting white, paper cranes.
The image stoked his creative soul and he wrote the song in 1968 as memorial to the WWII soldiers lost in unmarked graves. Thus, the chain of inhumanity of war linked Japanese civilians with Soviet soldiers and sailors via the poetry, melody, music and drama of the song.
The human soul is a grand mystery . . .

I have seen her from time to time since she had 11 years. Here is, in my opinion, a better one of her voice.
