  • To Moscow! В Моськву!   22k   Переводы
    This short story written in Russian by a Japanese student Endo Masashi in 1998 in Yeltsin`s Russia and first published in 2001 made a strange impression upon the Russian instructors in the University. The theme was quite new and not trivial, the foreign students drink, the Russian hooligans abuse them in the streets, etc. But later this short story was defined as an exotic Oriental flower of the modern Russian literature despite its irregular grammar, slips of the pen, moreover that short story was recognized as one of the best Russian literary works describing the hero of our time. Endo Masashi who learned in Tokyo and in Moscow is a specialist in the Russian literature. His short story was written in the Japanese Russian, it contains much humour, love of Russia and the Russian. `TO MOSCOW! TO MOSCOW!` relates to the Chekhovian traditions of the Russian literature. But the initial title of the short story that read as THE STROLLING ALONG MOSCOW had also something in common with the Russian poem and lyrics by Gennadiy Shpalikov set to music by Andrey Petrov for the motion picture of 1963 `I am strolling along the Moscow streets`. The hero of our time is also a pure Russian motif originating from the Mikhail Lermontov`s same name novel. But that very Russian `hero of our time` (late 90s of the 20th c.) in the short story is a Japanese teenager. No doubt, there`s a gap between the literary character and the author of the story, it`s une œuvre littéraire indeed rather than non-fiction or journalism. There exist also allusions to The Catcher in the Rye and A Clockwork Orange. The description method is that of a bildungsroman.
    A propos, the irregular grammar, etc. of the English translation imitates the Russian writings of a foreign student. Strictly speaking, it`s a literary device, a trope too.

He emigrated from the USSR to Denmark when he was 19 years old. He lived in Copenhagen. After he had been admitted to citizenship of Denmark in 1997 he returned to Moscow to work as a TV reporter and journalist. He started writing Indy poems. Soon he had them printed. The Russian critics consider him to be just an interesting author of the distinctive, quasi-modernist romantic ballads full of uninvented feelings. Besides Dostoyevsky and Homer, he is under strong influence of Jack London, David J. Salinger (`The Catcher in the Rye` and short stories), American sci-fi movies, modern culture of Far East (Mongolia, China, Japan, Korea). Besides, he is fond of robots!

Performed by the Russia`s Defence Ministry Central Military Band. Conductor Andrei Kolotushkin).
      
      Many favourite, excellent songs often cast their not always printable shadows. This shadow, their informal unprintable versions and covers, removes the patina of affectedness from the masterpieces which not rarely become victims of the bombastic officiality. It"s the people (not `people`) who invent the `bad` versions of the evergreen works of art. Most often it"s the children"s and teenagers` informal folklore that accompanies a person during the lifetime, and from time to time is remembered and mentioned in a different situations.
      
      But this very fact does not spoil and doesn"t do any harm to the beautiful originals. Just imagine, a tough guy has been moved by a melody but he can"t afford to sob like a dame, and to conceal his real feelings at parties, when he"s around, he would rather quote something unprintable, vulgar but funny and classical in connection with the performed music. This healthy `cynicism` prevents the theatrics. Shadow lyrics are sometimes the congenial masterpieces in spite of their vulgarity. The mediocre works don"t cast the vulgar shadows. The shadow is not a parody, mocking though it"s funny (ha-ha!). It"s a psychological defense and a good way to relax. Listen also to The Peanuts (ザ・ピーナッツ) sisters https://youtu.be/U7smeXaoKEY
  • Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin Сергей Александрович Есенин   13k   Переводы
    SERGEI ALEXANDROVICH YESENIN (1895-1925) The No 1 of the Russian poetry of the 20 c., one of the greatest poets of the Russian literature comparable only with Alexandre Pushkin. Besides, he is often presented in a rather lop-sided way as a singer of wooden Russia, Russian village and peasants (as well as Leo Tolstoy). They were in some sense though not all the way. By the way, Sergey Yesenin, one of the Russianest of the Russian poets though he liked to be jocularly addressed `Sergey Duncan`, was one of the Baudelaire`s Russian literary grandson. Baudelaire played the same part in the history of the so called Silver Age of the Russian Poetry that Lord Byron had played during its Golden Age in the 19th c.

  • `i am going out on the road` by Mikhail Lermonov. М.Ю. Лермонтов "Выхожу один я на дорогу"   6k   Переводы
    `Once in presence of Irakliy Luarsabovich Andronikov I called a popular poet a genius. He immediately objected: `He`s too complicated to be considered a genius. All great is simple and clear. It is `I am going out on the road ...` that`s great. That sort of poems seems to contain nothing, but they include all: solitude, Universe, road ... `Night is still. The waste attends Sabaoth`. (from the Memoirs by Anatoly Alexin) (Irakly Andronikov was a leading Lermontov expert in Russia in the 20c.).
    `I am going out on the road ...` By M. Yu. Lermontov recited by Mr. Artyom Pir-Budagyan (Armenia) https://youtu.be/ckExkRNaobA

Dmitriyev. Yet the most popular variant composed in 1861 belongs to Elizaveta (Elisabeth) Shashina (1805-1903).

    Mikołaj Rej or Mikołaj Rey of Nagłowice (1505-1569) was a Polish poet and writer of the Renaissance in Poland, as well as a politician and musician. He was the first Polish author to write exclusively in the Polish language, and is considered (with Biernat of Lublin and Jan Kochanowski), to be one of the founders of Polish literary language and literature. The Russian translator of the poem is Assar Isayevich Eppel (Асар Исаевич Эппель (1935-2012)), an outstanding Russian translator of the Polish poetry and prose and a remarkable poet and writer of the excellent original prose. The oral works of the urban folklore, poems, songs, funny stories of a Russian city were just `the excellent witnesses` of time for him, and they were being transformed into the facts of the lofty, even tragic poetry in his own books. It was a right and natural approach. It answers the cultural traditions of the Eastern Roman Empire also known as Russia. Besides the arse is a not rare work of art unless the work of art is the arse. We oughtn`t to mix up arse for art`s sake with art for arse`s sake, i.e, arse house.

  • Dandy & Didelot   4k   Переводы
    In the Stance XXI of the 1st Chapter of the `Eugene Onegin` Alexandre Pushkin depicts the exact morals and manners of his time. The democratic public claps demanding to start the show. As to gentlemen the then theatrical good tone (bon ton) required to enter the hall at the last minute. The very appearance of gentlemen required the performance of etiquette: exchange of greetings, ritual of bows and conversations. People stood in the stalls, there were just several rows of seats for the High Society men. Ladies were only in the boxes. Onegin forced through twixt the rows which was a deliberate demonstration of the shocking negligence and impudence permitted to the young dandies and rakes. Besides, they had to simulate myopia and use opera glasess. It was not quite appropriate for gentlemen to look at people through the lenses, to lornette them, especially to examine young ladies and it was twice as inappropriate to look at people askance. It could be a pretext for a challenge. But Onegin was a rake and dandy and behaved according to the unwritten rules. The young men of that stratum were also required to express indifference and coolness. They copycatted `byrons`, `childe harolds`. The were all Anglophiles. However, Pushkin who was a replica of Onegin in the described time did not agree with him in his attitude towards Didelot. In his commentary to his novel in verse the author explained his hero`s behaviour like this: `A trait of a damped down temper worthy of Childe Harold. Mr. Didelot`s ballets are filled with a lively imagination and extraordinary delights. One of our romantic writers considered them to contain much more Poetry than all French literature does`. The common mistake of all English-speaking translators of Pushkin is their intention to use an excess of the lexical wealth of the language. But Pushkin was a poet who could get the highly-artistic results with the use of very simple expressive means of language and colloquial speech of his time. He was one of the main creators of the modern Russian language. While writing his `Onegin` he was being transformed from a romanticist into a psychological realist. And `simplicity`, economy on expressive means of language when tropes and lexical abundance were not required psychologically was his deliberate choice and aesthetic principle.

    HEARTBRREAKING IDA Boris Pasternak fell in love for the first time rather late when he was 20 years old. He fell in love with Ida Wissotzkaya, the daughter of a wealthy Moscow merchant. It was love at first sight. The parents sent Ida to learn abroad. By that reason Pasternak asked his parents also to send him to learn in Germany. He declared his love in Marburg and was refused. Later he wrote the same name famous poem dedicated to Ida. In 1913 Boris Pasternak transformed his love into the yellow-purple tints of autumn in another poem of his `The Dream`. As to Ida Wissotzkaya, she was a daughter of the Wissotzky Tea Co.`s owner who was an exclusive supplier of the Russian Royal Court. That Russian tea company was the largest in the world that time. After leaving the Russian classical school Ida learned in England, in Cambridge. She was infatuated with Shakespeare as it was obvious from her letters to Pasternak. Although a Jewish girl, she was a tall blonde. Later she married a banker Feldzer and died in 1979. By then the company of her late father, David Wissotzky, became the leading tea company in Israel. Of course, there was an abyss between Boris and Ida in a financial respect. Ida considered him a prospective friend for any chance; she could never expect that he would become a world-famous poet. Did she regret her refusal? Hardly ever. Poetry is poetry, but life is life.

Mr. Mantel is a physician by profession. Strictly speaking, he is Doc Mantel (Docteur Manteau). As a gifted humorous poet Julien Stebeau is more interesting than an andrei yevgeniyevich. There are one million of dull and ageing andreiyevgeniyevichs in Russia, i.e, persons satisfied with their own lives, wives, shish kebabs and themselves (my sincere congrats!), but there`s only one Julien Stebeau the poet, an unaging, daredevil and joyful youngster. No doubt, I like the latter one best! This is a case when schizophrenia, double identity of a single personality, is only welcome.

    Igor Vasiliyevich Shenshin-Lotaryov (1887-1941)(penname Igor Severianin) is a poet of the Silver Age of the Russian poetry (first decades of the 20 c. before the Revolution).

    Igor Severianin preferred to write his pen name like Igor the Severianin (lit. Igor the Northener) but it never took on, all considered `Severianin` to have been his real family name. He sided with the literary group of futurists led by Vladimir Mayakovsky. Mayakovsky used to taunt him for his style which was defined as `ego-futurism`. Even among the ego-futurists the poet was very special, seemed very funny for them, and was often laughed at. They must have envied his bankable success and tremendous popularity if not his fame.

    Severianin became an All-Russia`s celebrity quite occasionally, Feodor Sollogub, one of the Russian minor classical poets, gathered the poems of unknown Severianin and had them printed just for fun, to amuse the reading public with the `foolish` verses. Lev Tolstoy read the collection of those poems and showed his rage and fury. As a result Severianin became a literary star overnight! `Jupiter, you are angry, therefore you are wrong!`

    It was a formidable success! He satisfied the intimate desires of the educated readership. Like other futurists Severianin used to intendedly `broaden` the language, invented new words, new word stresses, widely used French vocabulary, he was afraid of writing `primitively, without the new metaphors and words`. He liked `beautiful` words. He wanted people to read his poems and feel almost physical, sensual pleasure and delight. Despite his form and content experiments, neologisms, occasionalisms, his poetry is very natural, it`s bizzare but easily understanable, not artificial at all. No doubt Severianin is now a classical poet.

    Kenzelle is an Igor Severianin original poetic verse of 15 lines being usually divided into three five-line stanzas where the first line repeats itself as the 8th one (the central one) and the 15th (the final one) to create the `reflectivity` of the verse. Later this verse was often used by Andrei Voznesensky.

    Unlike many poets he paid much, if not special attention to the clothes in his poetry.
    Moire dress is a rustling watered silk frock.
    Watered silk, moire, tabby are names of the same tissue. Also tabby is a tabby cat with mottled fir like that of a jaguar.
    Talma is is an article of ladies` wear of the XIX-early XX cc. - loose sleeveless mantle named after François-Joseph Talma (stressed is the last syllable), the great French actor and its creator (1763-1826).

    After leaving the classical and ballet schools she performed as a ballerina, wrote poems which were made a special mention by minister of culture Anatoly Lunacharsky, then married an ornithologist and children`s poet Pavel Barteaux and dedicated all her life to the Russian literature. What can be said about her classical poems and creative manner? She thought clearly and she wrote clearly. During the WW2 she worked as a turner in the Urals and was a military reporter on the frontline. She lost her 18 year old son after the war who was damaged by a lorry when he was riding his bycicle. She had been leading the program on the radio `Mayak` for many years. The program helped to re-unite the families whose children were lost during the war (after Luftwaffe`s train bombings, in particular).

  • Pouchkine Succomba Par Louis d`anthès   6k   Переводы

    Alexandre Pushkin is a great Ruissian poet. To be be exact, the greatest one. Yet he was a famous bedhopper, and as every single male slut he was morbidly jealous. He was killed by a Horse Guardsman, young French man Georges d'Anthès whom Pushkin after receiving an anonymous abusive letter challenged to a duel https://youtu.be/_4gQvDjVKEc Georges d'Anthès was a bridegroom of his wife`s sister at the moment of the duel. Despite this Pushkin imagined d'Anthès had tried to seduce his wife Natalie.

    GEORGE~1 (600x460, 269Kb)
    As a man Pushkin must have suffered from the complex of inferiority. Pushkin was elder, 37 years old, just 166 cm tall and dark-skinned while Georges d'Anthès was a very tall blonde guy about 20 years old.
    In his youth Pushkin would seduce the batallions of the married ladies, but he couldn`t bear an idea of having been a cuckold himself. By the way, he wasn`t. He preferred Hormony to Harmony and died in vain, though in his youth he was warned by a gipsy fortune teller to avoid conflicts with le grand blond (see `Le grand blond massacre Mozart et Brahms` https://youtu.be/uexGhKoG4WM).
    The descendants of Pushkin sometimes meet one another in Russia, but they refuse to forgive Georges d'Anthès, IMHO, in vain. In any case they are all one big family, the Pushkins-d`Anthèses. Their feud, their strife reminding of that of d'Capuleti and Montecchi is senseless. All in all, there are 240 descendants of Pushkin in the world. None is a poet or poetess unlike the descendants of Georges d'Anthès.
    After the duel Georges d'Anthès came back to France with his wife Ekaterina, Pushkin widows`s sister and many years later he became a Senator. His daughter was a poetess and philologist specializing in ... Pushkin. His grandgrandson French Baron Louis de Heeckeren d'Anthès, an owner of the waste incineration plant, is a poet too. He lives in the same estate to where Georges d'Anthès returned from France. The Baron had a book of poems issued. He was illustrated by his own pictures. The first poem is dedicated to the duel. It explains the version of the d'Anthès` side, their view-pont of reasons of the fatal conflict. A propos. On his deathbed Pushkin forgave his brother-in-law. The fact which is still being widely igonored. The real killers of the poet were neither High Society nor his own brother-in-law but, if to judge by the grammar mistakes of the abusing letter (`The Certificate of a Cuckold`) written in French, his Russian enemies, people of not noble birth, probably, irritated by the then Pushkin`s wife ardour for Catholicism. The case needs a new objective re-investigation.
  • The Sweet Beauties Of Russia Милые Красавицы России   4k   Переводы
    In 1945 Yara wrote a poem `Sweet Beauties of Russia` ("Милые красавицы России") where he expressed his gratitude to all the women of the USSR who sacrificed everything to victory. Yeah, he was a true gentleman, and he never joined men who several times after the war attempted to defame the female participation in the war. He was well aware of women"s contribution and said that men had owed a lot to them and must recoup their losses. Speaking for all men in his poem he promised to dress the postwar females with mink, lodge them in palaces, and sing them in poems full of adoration and admiration. And he really sang them in his poems. Yaroslav Smelyakov - The sweet beauties of Russia. Recited by Anastasiya Gulina, 17, Novokuznetsk, Kemerovskaya region, Siberia https://youtu.be/EYbtIuR-NTc

But all the same her poems were neither weak nor amateurish ones. She died in 1952 in Paris, having outlived her contemporaries. By the way,her works were published in France too.

But ignorance can`t serve as an excuse for irresponsibility. Besides, `it`s impossible to throw lyrics from the songs` as a Russian proverb reads, the more so because many of the text I`d mentioned above became the famous and hearfelt Russian lyrical songs and some of them even the unexpected military marches. It doesn`t mean that I love all the Russian songs related to V Day topic. Tastes differs. Sometimes a new or fresh arrangement make me re-evaluate, re-open the song. For example, I could never bear that very `Katyusha`, but an excellent German arrangement and performance which I`d found great made me change my opinion https://youtu.be/ZYyEt8y1cDI

    May Day in Russia is now well-known with the students` `monstrations`, the informal mocking rallies with the absurd broadsheets and handwritten posters in the hands of their participants, a parody of May Day demonstrations of the Soviet past and their hypocritical replicas at present. Those carnival processions of the Russian youth are peaceful, innocent, full of joy, witty, they are the moving and improvised street performances. In some sense, they are literature, I`d call them the literary rallies, or `litterallies`. Alas, from the view-point of some authorities their main drawback is that they`re informal. By that reason officials are rather afraid of them and behave in a style of a classical bureaucrat, comrade Byvalov from the excellent Soviet comedy movie https://youtu.be/QcbLHi5khu8 They demand understandable slogans rather than the following ones: `Leprechauns of all countries unite!`,`Velvet trilobite eats my brain!`, `Return our probabilistic machine!`, `Uncommunikettlive!` ("Молчайник!"),`Tomorrow will never come!`, `All march to the construction of the Death Star!`, `It`s high time to reboot the Windows`, `I`d like to buy common sense!, `According to statistics there`s always one Svetka per one Genka who will fall in love with him` (Svetka and Genka are short for Svetlana and Gennady), `Today`s the day after tomorrow!`, `A good person must be delightful`, `The wonderland exists!`,`A violet acorn of goodness is in danger!`, `I changed polarity of the neutron stream of marmelade!`, `No more cookies on the dark side!`, `Husbands, love your wives!`, `All`s possible with God!` and even simply `Mee mee mee!` If you`ve been tired or afraid of these absurd and as much as twice funny (both `strange` and `ha-ha`) slogans, then you must be an official (consider it to be a test). In that case you`d better listen to a nice Brazilian tune of the song `Bim! Bom!` Sung by Astrud Gilberto https://youtu.be/VtbxOZVUfuk It`s kinda Bonus!

    that's the way I want my song
    just the words that go BIM BOM
    sorry but my heart has made it so
    only bim bom bim bom bim...

    1) The regular bourgeois visitors of the Moscow Restaurant `Gorky Bar` (named so after Maxim Gorky) recite line by line `The song of the Petrel` (from 0:45). They learned it by heart when they went to school. The present Russian schools, though now they`re thrice as the bourgeois ones, still go on with making pupils to learn Gorky`s Petrel by heart. It doesn`t embarrass the govt. The govt. seems to say, `Read whatever you want, but never ever gather more than three persons at one place, since we`re afraid of your misbehaving in a Gorky`n`Petrel`s way! People, you know, they are so unpredictable! You never can tell what`s on their minds!` https://youtu.be/GFDSza4yE7c
    2) A satiric reciting of Gorky`s `Petrel` by a famous, excellent Russian actor Andrei Urgant. It`s a masterpiece, his fresh and innovative interpretatation. Gorky`s text admits that way of re-thinking! The literary texts contain more meanings than their authors are used to anticipate! From 1:59 to 3:41 https://youtu.be/vDrQRA5-4Xk
    3) The school girl is doing her homework, learning the Petrel by Gorky by heart for the tomorrow`s lesson of literature. Mother: `Liuba, drink your milk and sleep well!` Lyuba: `I hear you, mommy`. The mise-en-scène familiar with the millions of the Russian nationals is performed by Lyubov Glushkova, an 11 year old schoolgirl. https://youtu.be/01nOHBuAnhY Animation cartoon `THE STORMY PETREL` https://youtu.be/Mxv_TtjnBJQ

  • Bashana Haba-a   10k   Переводы
    Bashana Haba-a (БАШАНА ХАБА-А) ("В следующем году"/In the year to com (Next year)). Вечнозелёная песня израильских авторов Нурит Хирш (это оказывается женщина) и Эхуда Манора (это оказывается мужчина) (не путать с Урфином Джюсом и Ланом Пиротом из сказок Frank Baum`а (по-английски, Бома) и Волкова!). An evergreen song by Nurit Hirsch and Ehud Manor. Хотя я и не знаток Израиля, израильской культуры, да и евреями не особенно интересуюсь, но эта песня меня поразила. Несомненно, это - гениальное произведение, и религиозное, и светское, и эстрадное, и академическое, и строгое, и разгульное, ресторанное, и взрослое, и детское, и быстрое, и медленное, и мажорное, и минорное, одно слово, - многогранное, схватившее, вероятно, нечто архетипичное. Простое и сложное по форме, сочетающее в себе непростую, очень динамичную литературную и музыкальную, ритмическую рифмовку. Скоррелировать их в гармонии, гармонично, - очень трудно. Это - как езда на лисапеде, пока на ём едешь, находишься в равновесии. Остановился - споткнулся и упал! Мелодия и текст же (и "уже") неотделимы друг от друга, и трудно поверить, что первоначально это было только стихотворение (вначале было слово!), и это стихотворение задало тон, став отправной точкой для композитора. (Если, конечно, всё было не наоборот). Считается непереводимым, но прекрасно было переведено на немецкий, польский (Maciek Froński) https://lyricstranslate.com/en/%D7%91%D7%A9%D7%A0%D7%94-%D7%94%D7%91%D7%90%D7%94-bashana-habaah-zacznie-si%C4%99-nowy-rok.html и русский (Виктор Шапиро) https://www.stihi.ru/2011/02/13/2161. Несколько лет назад читал какого-то американского еврейского писателя рассказ, там героем песня была, она оторвалася от свово бедного автора и зажила своей собственной разнообразной жизнью. Хотя авторы этой песни известны, она уже тоже существует сама по себе, и она вечна. Перевести её было вызовом, это - как решить сложное уравнение или доказать недоказуемую теорему.

Sung by a great Russian actor Oleg Dahl https://youtu.be/AjP9wRMNQD0 http://kkre-25.narod.ru/dal/etm.mp3`There`s but a blink` is a song from the Russian feature film `The Sannikov Land`(1973). There were two interpretations of the song, the above one, by actor Oleg Dahl, was replaced with that of Oleg Anofriev in the film`s soundtrack. Oleg Dahl was rejected on the score of having been tipsy during recording the song. Still this record is widely heard and loved. Dahl was a genius even when he was intoxicated and slightly mistimed. `The Blink` is a kind of soliloquy rather than a song.

This is a jocular song describing a situation when nakedness becomes a common rule for the sea resorts. Just one more step, and the not naked enough gonna be persecuted by the vice squad and public mind. Of course, it`s a grotesque, a nice `joke of humour`(as the Russian would say) in the form of the no less nice topsy-turvy song.

    Kai Metov refused to remain only a part of the past, he still exists and acts as a succesful pop singer, a living icon still able to gather the full house http://metov.ru/ He`s a symbol of the 90s, and you can`t kill the symbol. Was he a first post-Soviet sex idol? Abso-bloody-lutely! The perfect health and youth of the singer, his young-looking appearance and his velvet, a little bit husky voice made a charming impression on his audience, especially on women. As a gifted arranger he used a new for the Russian 90s mixture of the electronic pop music with heavy metal inclusions in his songs. The Western dancing rhythm, true-to-life simple lyrics, a special heartfelt sound of his slightly `vicious` voice and informal intonation formed his patented style. The lyrical hero of his lyrics was a naive and sentimental macho, the real, though not self-confident one. It attracted hearts and aroused sympathy.

    Viktor Balthasar Emil Hoffmann (Виктор Викторович Гофман) (1884-1911) was born in a family of the Austrian German citizen who owned the furniture factory in Russia. He went to the Russian classical school and finished it with honours. One of his classmates was Russian poet Vladimir Khodasevich. Hoffmann was a friend and pupil of Russian poets Valery Bryusov and Konstantin Balmont. He graduated from the legal faculty of the Moscow University, cooperated with literary journals. Hoffmann was labelled by the contemporary reviewers as a ladies` poet, affected and elegant one`. In 1911 he committed suicide as a result of a panick attack in one of the Paris hotels. He thought he had been going mad. He was afraid of this most of all. `I have got for you` - Love Song (Lyrics by Viktor Hoffmann, Music by Tatyana Velikodvorskaya, Sung by Alexandre GamI) https://youtu.be/N5E8vteEV6I

  • Jüdischer Tango Iddish Tango   3k   Переводы
    The title of this song https://youtu.be/m6tyesDCEgk is the Yiddish Tango, or in original `Jüdischer Tango`. This the title it was given by its songwriter Friedrich Swartz, a Jewish German composer, himself in his last letter sent to Germany from Paris to where he`d escaped from his motherland (Er selbst bestimmte in seinem letzten Brief vom 23. Juli 1933 den Untertitel "Jüdischer Tango"). He was murdered in his room in the Paris hotel soon after he`d done it. This case wasn`t investigated properly. Another `Pocrass`! Note that this song is called not `Judischer Tango` in German, but `Jüdischer Tango`, so it`s right title is not the Jewish Tango, but the Yiddish tango, though it was written and sung in the German language. As a German Friedrich knew no Yiddish. However, some covers of that now quite rare song are being performed our days in Yiddish too which I find wrong. It`s a universal rather than Jewish song. It`s dedicated to all who`s banished or was made to go. One of the modern covers by Bella Liebermann und die Band Kol Cole moved me no less than the original performance https://youtu.be/R4NDBQvw9SU If you want to listen to a real Yiddish Tango, listen to the evergreen, classical song `Papirosen` https://youtu.be/odRpiRBKYK8 performed in Yiddish https://youtu.be/w3qG3rd_abM by an incomparable Jewish singer, I mean Zully Goldfarb.

    These lines were discovered after Tchaikovsky`s death in his personal papers and published in the literary journal Русский вестник (Russkiy Vestnik - Russian Herald) in 1894. The poem was written in Italy. In the letter to brother Modest the great composer confessed: `For the first in my life I managed to write really good verses, very deep-felt ones ... They were hard-earned, but I worked with no less pleasure than when writing my music`. Brother offered to have the poem published, but Peter refused the very idea of it after remembering the maxim of his teacher Anton Rubinstein: `Writing is a pleasure, publication is a responsibility`(`Писание - удовлетворение, печатание - ответственность`).

  • Aishang ni, hao guniang Fallen in love with a good girl   6k   Переводы
    FALLEN IN LOVE WITH A GOOD GIRL AISHANG NI, HAO GUNIANG A sexy beauty is arguing with her Lamborghini boyfriend, a rich businessman. We see him saying `Well!` (Hao ba!) and ordering her to return to his car (`Do take your seat!` Zuo!). Her response is, `Weishenme ne? Why then? Again?` According to the author and performer of the song Sun Hui (Сунь Хуй) it implies: "I don"t want anything, I don't care about your money!" He told that the girl (by the way, a professional music vidеo (MV)actress) threw away the valuable clothes and jewelry to become free. On her way she`s met the very Sun Hui, the author of that music vidеo pretending to look as `a poor brother`. Having recognized the celebrity, the girl is ignoring him either starting to take off and throw away the expensive pieces of her chic clothing one by one while literally step by step showing her beautiful body in bikini and making Sun Hui to pursue and escort her all the way. Unexpectedly there`s appeared an ordinary, poor "cycling brother", and off they go together riding his bicycle. That`s the idea of the song as it can be read in the pop music media of China and Taiwan. As to me I think that everything is much simpler, the girl will return to her boyfriend, she`s not poor and things she`s lost are no big loss of money for her. By the way, Sun Hui was picking them up knowing their price while singing and thinking that the girl will come to her senses and - who knows? - will prefer him. https://youtu.be/vPKVagwzlhI В песенке остроумно применена считалка, очень продуктивный приём, повысивший художественную ценность "лирики"(lyrics). Вспоминается не совсем приличная детская считалка из моего детства: "Одиножды один - приехал господин, дважды два - его жена, трижды три - спать легли ... шестью шесть - хвать её за шерсть, семью восемь - доктора просим ...

    A poem-song by Vladimir Vysotsky from the `Mr. McKinley`s Escape` feature film`s soundtrack https://youtu.be/tg0tK193pgQ Of course, it`s more my own interpretation of the Vysotsky`s song-poem rather than my translation of it, my variation on the theme offered by the genius of the Russian poetry. To what extent? You are welcome to judge it by a comparison of the translation and original text. (My translation contains three dots marking absent stanzas of the original poem and contractions of some stanzas). Initially, before the film, it was one of the Vysotsky`s jocular songs to his own now on purpose frolicksome, foolish now more or less `serious` tune https://youtu.be/wlw5DXJUelc, https://youtu.be/pIzmLvsSdLk, https://youtu.be/bEUP6lbxNqU, etc. The soundtrack version changed all, first of all, the melody. Though text was mostly unchanged, only abridged, it acquired an unexpected, philosophical meaning. The new, strict melody blew up the hidden senses, maybe not known even for the very author. I developed this theme by Vysotsky taking into account changes brought by our days. I made it as much as thrice in my previous translations, in `The French Ambassador`s Wife` by Gorodnitsky (there appeared a figure of the very Ambassador, though in the hero`s nightmare) and in Vladimir Voinovich`s iconic `Spacemen`s Song` (where spacemen due to my free will downloaded their maps into the `Apple` or `Samsung` tablets which weren`t being used in 1961). To be short, I dared to perform as Vladimir Vysotsky`s co-author and tried my best (and even kicked my ass) to develop his ideas, and, of course, I followed his metre and tune ( I left `em intact). Had I got the very right to act like this? Who knows? What if I am just a literary hooligan?! Literally! Oh, my! But as a Russian proverb reads, `If you`re going to fall, then do it only from the kingsize horse!` I fell to rise! By the way, for the third time. An old offender! Every translator wants to be a co-author! Me too, but fortunately sometimes and very rarely. Let it be my excuse and your consolation! Hip-hip, hurrah!

  • Mikhalitch "Михалыч"   6k   Переводы
    MIKHALITCH is a patronimic. The Russian workers of the same age used to address one another with the help of their patronimics in their coloquial pronunciation. The patronimic of Mikhalitch derives from the name of Mikhail (Michael), in the literary speech it sounds as Mikhailovitch. Folks, however, say Mikhalitch in the informal speech with a respected person of the same age, rank and social position. This is a humorous rap from the popular Russian TV program `Our Russia` depicting the daily life of Russia in a grotesque, humorous and mildly satirical way. All parts are played and sung by two artists Sergey Svetlakov and Mikhail Galoustyan. The part of milling machine operator Dulin is played by Mr. Svetlakov and that of his chief Mikhalitch by Mr. Galoustyan. Dulin woos Mikhalitch, and it creates funny situations in which the other workers and office personnel of the machine-shop are regularly involved. Industrial Chelyabinsk City is supposed to be the locale of the TV serial. By the way, there were no attempts to forbid this show depicting the recognizable characters and social types that folks keep intervening in a real life. The Russian are kidding too! Oh yeah! https://youtu.be/fxCB06y8yo4 Bonus! A fragment from an Eldar Ryazanov comedy `Beware of the car`. Two friends played by Innokenty Smoktunovsky (Car Thief) and Oleg Yefremov (Policeman) singing `If I ever fall ill ...` (see http://zhurnal.lib.ru/editors/p/prjahin_a_a/ifieverfallill.shtml) while leaving the pub.

  • I Like To Stroll Along The Moscow Streets Я шагаю по Москве   6k   Переводы

    The picture of the music video I LIKE TO STROLL ALONG THE MOSCOW STREETS https://youtu.be/SuWLPI9C0kc shows knowledge of its authors with the Japanese lyrics of the song sung by the Dark Ducks (ダークダックス) under a title of the Kaze kaoru Mosukuwa ni.
    The image of Moscow in these lyrics blends with the image of a girl, one`s fair one. A single feminine image with Moscow keeping unfolding in time and space during the stroll. A kind of the Japanese version of `My guide Natalie` (`Mon Guide Natalie` sung by Gilbert Becaud), a French song of the same period. Still, Moscow is just a background in Gilbert Becaud`s song while it`s a title character in the Japanese cover.
    (The Dark Ducks had been performing for 15 years in the 50-60s of the XX c. The band was formed in 1951 by Toru Sasaki, Tetsu Kiso and Тоyma Hajime, the members of the choir in the University Keio. In 1952 they were joined by Takamizawa. The repertory of the Dark Ducks included Russian and American folk and pop songs).
    The song I LIKE TO STROLL ALONG THE MOSCOW STREETS originates from the same name Soviet feature film of the 60s featuring for the first time young Nikita Mikhalkov who sang that song in a final episode of the Georgiy Danelia film from a screenplay by Gennady Shpalikov: https://youtu.be/qLkJ_0JRPOk

He seemed to have appeared from nowhere. But he"d graduated from the Moscow Conservatory"s Central Music School as a violinist (he has got an absolute hearing). He came; he saw and conquered, won the hearts of millions of fans. His album `Position #2` (1993) was the super hit of that dangerous and tough transitional period of Russia"s history. On TV in 1996: `There are artists who contrive to compose only the hits, so to say, one hit urges on another one. Our today`s guest is one of such artists. Recently he has his album recorded. Almost all songs of that disc has become the hit. But the hit of his hits is still his song that is well-known as the `Position #2`.

    Russian Jews Samuïl Pokrass and Pavel German, authors of the bravura Revolutionary songs and military marches which had been popular in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany for many years created an excellent Gipsy love song in the 20s of the 20 c. You can listen to the romance The ring of a tambourine (Там бубна звон) being performed by Pierre and Vladimir Svetlanoff https://youtu.be/gzMXortxDco However, according to the other sources, the authors of the same song were either Pokrass or Oscar Osenin (Lurja)(Оскар Осенин (Лур(ия)) (1889-1978)) (rather than Pavel German), or An. Lentzev (Ан. Ленцев))(rather than Pokrass) and Oscar Osenin. It's hard for me to judge who were the true authors, maybe, there were two melodies to the same lyrics. Who knows? The one thing is unchageable, the songwriters were all Russian Jews, and they created a masterpiece. The song was performed by many famous singers, by Vadim Kozin http://vadimkozin.narod.ru/pvk2/01.Tam_bubna_zvon.mp3, by Yuriy Morfessi http://kkre-11.narod.ru/pokrass/tbz.mp3, Alla Bayanova.

    RUN, RUDOLF, RUN! Song from a Russian feature film `Ah, that Nastya!` (`Ох, уж эта Настя!`) (1972)

    This song for a children` motion picture was for the first time peformed by Aïda Vedishcheva https://youtu.be/RqZgNHJgH9o She was born in Irkutsk, in Siberia as Ida Solomonovna Weiss to become an outstanding Russian pop singer as Aïda Vedishcheva. Unfortunetly, sheo had to emigrate to the USA in 1980 despite her brilliant career in the USSR. That career was spoiled by the Soviet officials who in the 70s of the 20th c. destroyed the Soviet pop music (S-pop) literally step by step under the various pretexts. Aïda Vedishcheva failed to build the comparable artistic career in the USA where she performed as Amanda Amazing. If she had managed to wait for the `perestroika`, she might have become the first singer of capitalist Russia. But in any case she made a significant contribution to the Russian pop music and cinema. By the way, she`s been remembered and loved as a remarkable artistic personality in Russia so far.
    I loved that pop singer at first sight (at first sound of her voice)! I couldn`t help it. Unfortunately, the Soviet chieftains underestimated the importance of entertainment. They scattered the unique collective of the Soviet pop performers, composers and lyricists under a pretext that there were too many Jews among them. The then time Caesar of the Eastern Roman Empire was Polish by his nationality, I mean Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, and he suffered a lot whenever the Western media mentioned the Jewish nationality of his spouse. The pop musicians were left holding the baby of his resentment. The majority of the Russian artistes left for the West and lost their professions, except for only one, Larissa Mondrus who had got an opportunity of the second breath in Germany and brilliantly used it to the full extent. That time the former Soviet performers were not ready yet for the Western market realities.
    There were no Dyaghilevs among them. Solidarity was also a problem. They should have learned from the Persian colleagues. As to Lara Mondrus, she had to start her career from nothing three times in her life. First in Latvia, then in Russia and Germany. She sang in Lettish, Russian and German. She learned them and could improbably soon speak as the very natives or even better with no accent at all!
    Earlier only Marika Roekk from Hungary managed to become a pop star abroad, in Germany. She had to learn German, she was under severe pressure of her German husband who made her learn the language. The result was excellent. But the languages are just la moitié de l'ouvrage (half the work) as many singers relied exclusively on an end market of their own countries and diaspora and would prosper all right. The problem is likely to have been in their intent of getting all or nothing. In such cases nothings happen much more often than alls.

    `Deer` is one of words meaning `a gay person` in the Russian argot (criminal language). This ambiguity was played up in a Russian satiric comedy `A Collective Farm Entertainment` ("Колхоз Entertainment"), in its episode when criminal prisoners had to participate in the talent activities. Their choir chose THE FOREST DEER https://youtu.be/s8cWHsHQoHo?list=RDs8cWHsHQoHo as a song for their amateur performance with a gay guy playing the part of a deer. Formally, the prisoners changed not a word in the lyrics of the famous children`s song, yet contrived to distort the text`s meaning due to an ironical, sceptical and mocking intonation. The part of the soloist was played by Alexandre Semchev, a very famous Moscow theatre artist and film star.

    BY THE SEA, BY THE BLUE SEA У МОРЯ, У СИНЕГО МОРЯ (AFTER THE JAPANESE GREATEST HIT `KOI-NO BAKANSU `恋のバカンス) The J-pop song KOI-NO BAKANSU performed by the Peanuts duet (Sisters Itō Amy and Itō Yumi https://youtu.be/rqCAd6AZYCo) has become an iconic Russian folk song since the early 60s. Unfortunately, the Japanese original lyrics were replaced as `too sexy` that time, and its title became `Песня о счастливой любви" (`A Happy Love Song`). Fortunately, the new lyrics were written by a gifted Russian lyricist Leonid Derbenyov (1931-1996), the former lawyer who created a pure chaste and still erotic text.

    THE SONG ABOUT A TRUE INDIAN is a masterpiece of the Russian folk rock music written and composed on par by The Zilch group frontman Feodor Tchistyakov and another rock musician Piotr Strukov (from the third stanza). A music video from it was shot by Maxim Katooshkin in an iconic place of the Russian rock music, in Irina Linnik`s datcha of Komarovo village. We read in Feodor Tchistyakov`s memoirs: 'A song about a true Indian' - I`d been drinking for two days, flying somewhere by the `autopilot`. I remember how I was going from a car to a car in the Underground, visiting some people, and, all in all, it took two days. I started with one girl, but I woke up with quite another one. When I woke up I felt like having gone on a trip, but when I came back I couldn`t recall where I`d been. After I`d gone outdoors, I had such a hangover poetic mood that the lines appeared themselves from somewhere, and the song was done in a flash! Just in one breath, giving my all like a sprinter, and that's it. The only nuisance was the third verse, but it was Piotr Strukov who helped me, so the story was rather mentally completed after that'.

    The historic and historical song dated back to the time of the Civil War in the 20s of the 20th c. in Russia. Due to the simple words, irregular grammar, excellent, catchy and slightly klezmerish melody that marching song acquired an iconic status in time of its creation. It was one of the most favorite songs of Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) (according to the letter of his wife Nadezhda Krupskaya). The song considered to have been the folk music through the 20-50s of the 20th century though both text and music were written by the request of the Poltical Bureau of the Kiev military region of the Red Army before seizure of the Crimea. It was printed in 1925 for the first time. Nowadays the melody of the White Army, Black Baron is used as a military march of the Russian Army, as an anthem of the Central Sporting Club of the Russian Army (CSK) (lyrics replaced, of course) and as an unofficial marching and rally song of the radical youth movement of the national-bolsheviks of Russia (Eduard Limonov`s party). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APlGT4n1kgk https://youtu.be/oI6PxuvZ3J4 https://youtu.be/h5hKbphw3EI https://youtu.be/a7G7EXEtuUo https://youtu.be/XmptOnF0P_E https://youtu.be/PNBbojgsxGA https://youtu.be/xeSPJOj7O8c https://youtu.be/03njYn7fkGA

    Кстати, Иран есть сокращение от слово "Ариана" (букв. "Страна Ариев"), и язык фарси, а до арабского влияния "парси" (персидский) (как и армянский, и греческий, и хинди, и санскрит) - язык индоевропейской группы.
    В качестве основы для персидской детской песенки Zir e Gonbade Kabood композитор Барам Деганияр, написавший немало музыки для детского телевидения Ирана, использовал фольклорную армянскую мелодию https://youtu.be/9JudrDMplFE (исполнитель Мосен Карбасси (Mohsen Karbassi) زیر گنبد کبود)

  • Fourty imps and one green bottle fly   8k   Переводы
    A 1984 episode `40 чертей и одна зелёная муха` (`Fourty imps and one green bottle fly`) (#46) of the Soviet children's TV series `Eralash` (`Hotchpotch`) (1984) from the short story `La conquista della quinta C` (1939) by an Italian humourist Giovanni Mosca (1908-1983) (Un episodio del 1984 della serie televisiva sovietica per bambini `Eralash` è una breve trasposizione in chiave comica di una parte di Ricordi di scuola). The screenwriter and director of the Fourty imps and one green bottle fly was Gennady Vasiliev (1940-1999) who shot the Russian iconic motion pictures `Finest, the brave Falcon` in 1975 and `The new adventures of Captain Wrungel` in 1978. All Russian actors and actresses spoke in the Italian language (just for fun!). The Italian transcript is based on my imperfect sound reading, yet I`m proud of having transcribed almost all! https://youtu.be/zgUevFTLhW0

    Вы можете сравнить мою переделку с оригиналом Зорина https://youtu.be/PnKYonm8Ip8 см. эпизод с 24:55-36:50, а стихи из цикла поэтессы распределены по остальным трём эпизодам. По сюжету они печатаются в прессе, и реакция героев на них двигает сюжет. В целом, мне удалось почти дословно их перевести. Славная пьеска "Костика" из "Покровских ворот", в которой играют мама и папа Андрея Миронова, замечательные артисты русской эстрады. Не будь я занят всякой хернёй, можно было бы перевести всю пьесу.

In many respects it"s almost a replica of The Merchant's Wife, (1918), a famous picture by Boris Mikhaylovich Kustodiev (1878-1927). As to the temper of woman it"s still quite of folk origins, very resolute, wild, passionate. By the way, it"s not a merchant"s wife, it"s a merchant woman, or using the modern idiom, it"s a business lady who doesn't know what to do with her money, time and energy and what to do else.

  • Song Of Kahovka   5k   Переводы

    SONG OF KAHOVKA by Mikhail Svetlov A fragment of the feature film `Three fellow soldiers` (1935), USSR https://youtu.be/6g3sdlW4O_o Great Russian actors Mikhail Zharov and Nikolai Batalov (Zakhar). One who reads Russian may note that there"s no machine gun on troika in the first line. Right you are! And yet my translation is exact and justified. There"s an inner rhyme in the line where Kahovka rhymes with vintOvka, i.e. gun, rifle. To find an appropriate rhyme to Kahovka was extremely hard in Russian. So what to say about English where words are in average much shorter and haven"t got the suffix -ka. Therefore I had to find an image of the equal worth, another symbol of that epoch being expressed in words fit for rhyming.
    Troika is a pure Russian symbol, moreover since WW1 the Russian put the American machine guns Maxim on troikas (usually cart&three though sometimes cart&two and even four in hands). In the years of Civil war the Russian anarchists led by their prominent and notorious warlord Nestor Makhno invented the ideal tactics for using those troikas called tachAnkas and tested that tactics in the battle with the Austro-Hungarian cavalry for the first time https://youtu.be/qrl88IWYhFk
    Machine guns on troikas were the means of mass destruction of the equestrian epoch, and they were in the wide use during Civil War in Western and Small Russia.
    I am ravished by the acting of Alexandre Loginov who played practically wordless part of the Austro-Hungarian commander. His eyes, their changing expressions! He"s a genius as an actor!
    Last but not least! The very formal, `solemn` cover of the Kahovka sung by Andrei Ivanov`s singing `Song of ` (Record of 1950) https://youtu.be/aeq5ycj95mo
