page 7. Beautiful song so beautifully sung!

Самая редкая запись песни растёт в Волгограде берёзка 

Ты тоже родился в России — краю полевом и лесномУ нас в каждой песне — берёза, берёза — под каждым окномНа каждой весенней поляне их белый живой хороводНо есть в Волгограде берёзка — увидишь, и сердце замрёт
Её привезли издалёка в края, где шумят ковылиКак трудно она привыкала к огню волгоградской землиКак долго она тосковала о светлых лесах на РусиЛежат под берёзкой ребята — об этом у них расспроси
Трава под берёзкой не смята — никто из земли не вставалНо как это нужно солдату, чтоб кто-то над ним горевалИ плакал — светло, как невеста, и помнил — навеки, как мать!Ты тоже родился солдатом — тебе ли того не понять
Ты тоже родился в России — берёзовом, милом краюТеперь, где ни встретишь берёзу, ты вспомнишь берёзку моюЕё молчаливые ветки, её терпеливую грустьРастет в Волгограде берёзка. Попробуй её позабудь!

I just found it an hour ago, title appears to be 'Volvograd Birch' (tree), been on loop ever since. 

This is quite uncanny actually, as last night I spent an hour looking at slideshows of Russian painters of a century or more ago and couldn't help but think of how the birch tree was so prevalent, but I did not google such a phenomena. Yet here we are with a Russian song of such a thing. Birch here in the UK is regarded as one of the first colonisers of bare or new ground. 

Once you are past the first hurdle of character memorisation then you will be able to follow the lyrics as the incredible Lyudmila Zkina takes us thro the song. ie Людмила Зыкина. Repeated listening on loop reveals some beautiful and intricate singing! 


Самая редкая запись песни растёт в Волгограде берёзка 1960 ... the song itself. 

Зыкина, Людмила Георгиевна — Википедия..... wiki in Ruski for Lyudmila Zkina. 

Here on youtube a comment that sums up this song and the singer ...I quote ... В песнях Людмилы Зыкиной просвечивается беспредельная ширь родных просторов, чувствуется огромная мощь души российского народа, переливаются мотивы незабвенных народных мелодий.
end of quote.

Which if we paste into goog translate we find ...
In the songs of Lyudmila Zykina, the boundless expanse of native lands shines through, the enormous power of the soul of the Russian people is felt, and the motives of unforgettable folk melodies shimmer.

Page 3. Its clicked in my beginners journey into learning Russian at home, these last couple of days it is the original Ruski text I now prefer in getting closer to the original sound. In other words I skip the supplied English translation. Ruski directly gets you closer to the real sound.  Удачи вам в изучении русского языка. In these early days it doesn't really matter what your translation work is, just get stuck in!  Read Ruski!

 Page 2.  Замучен тяжёлой неволей, As mentioned on page 1 here is an old Russian tune, its important I paste all my learning material on this blog otherwise it will simply get lost, but also in this digital form I can copy and paste wherever I like.  For instance I've just found context.reverso.net and is a useful adjunct to google translate Point of this exercise is for us beginners to memorise the first verse.   Please note as I develop and gain ability I hope to go back over this older material and check for mistakes, at the moment at my beginner level it may well hold errors. But it doesn't really matter at this stage, all that matters is that you get in the practice, give it some hard slog. As they say, paint in broad strokes.  Замучен тяжелой неволей, Ты славною смертью почил... В борьбе за народное дело Ты голову честно сложил... 2 раза Which if we pop over to goog translate we get not only the phonetics but also a translation ... Tormented by heavy ...

Page 4. I read this as a poem and immediately want to pare down the over-elaborate to English translation. I've spent many hours with original Tang poetry and so appreciate and aim for directness.  Episode 78 – On the hills of Manchuria – Real Russian Club A very useful site I think.  Take for instance third line first verse ie  Тучей закрыт восток. 'cloud closes east'.  Thats an interesting word,  восток ....  Pron. 'vostok' as in English is for east, being born in 1958 its as familiar as soyuz for union, laika for barker (RIP little doggie hero) and  Семёрка ,  semyorka for rockets ie 'old no.3' as I've just found out today. All are 'space words' or programmes from the Russians. I apologise for the military angle to this material, merely words heard fifty and sixty years ago.  Thats certainly say two months minimum of writing and memorisation; or probably longer, I'm no genius at this game.   Here we are set to music, beautiful re...
