The Volga Boatman Song (with Insomnia)



Ey, ukhnem!
Ey, ukhnem!

Yeshcho razik, yeshcho da raz!
Ey, ukhnem!
Ey, ukhnem!
Yeshcho razik, yeshcho da raz!

Razovyom mi beryozu,
Razovyom mi kudryavu!
Ai-da, da ai-da,
Ai-da, da ai-da,
Razovyom mi kudryavu.
Mi po berezhku idyom,
Pesnyo solnishku poyom.

Ai-da, da ai-da,
Ai-da, da ai-da,
Pesnyo solnishku poyom.
Ey, Ey, tyani kanat cilney!
Pesnyo solnishku poyom.

Ey, ukhnem!
Ey, ukhnem!
Yeshcho razik, yeshcho da raz!

I love this song.  
I've been to the Volga River - swum in it, even. It's wide and it's cold.



(This is my little arrangement of the classic song - you can download it here.)

    Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh
    Splotila naveki velikaya Rus'!
    Da zdravstvuyet sozdanny voley narodov
    Yediny, moguchy Sovetsky Soyuz!
    PRIPEV:
    Slav'sya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye,
    Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot!
    Partiya Lenina — sila narodnaya
    Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot!
    2.
    Skvoz' grozy siyalo nam solntse svobody,
    I Lenin veliky nam put' ozaril,
    Na pravoye delo on podnyal narody,
    Na trud i na podvigi nas vdokhnovil!
    PRIPEV
    3.
    V pobede bessmertnykh idey kommunizma
    My vidim gryadushcheye nashey strany,
    I krasnomu znameni slavnoy otchizny
    My budem vsegda bezzavetno verny!
    PRIPEV
