Beautiful Russian song, 'Oy, to ne vecher"

The singer is Kristina Vichrova, never heard her before but you should give a listen! Great song, beautiful girl, great voice!

Here is another choral version, must be a famous song! Any Russian speakers here can translate? Great song! I think I am going to try that on guitar.

I got another Russian song for you, my friend:

It's called "Gimn Sovetskogo Soyuza"

It goes:

Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh
Splotila naveki velikaya Rus'!
Da zdravstvuyet sozdanny voley narodov
Yediny, moguchy Sovetsky Soyuz!

CHORUS:
Slavsya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye,
Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot!
Partiya Lenina — sila narodnaya
Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot!

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!

CHORUS

V pobede bessmertnykh idey kommunizma
My vidim gryadushcheye nashey strany,
I krasnomu znameni slavnoy otchizny
My budem vsegda bezzavetno verny!

CHORUS

CHORUS

A song about a spacecraft?

How I love my stupendous Soyuz,
Oh yes, I trust my incredible Soyuz with my life,
When we land it is seldom with a bump,
Oy Yez, I loves my incredulous Soyuz.

Anyhooz, did you actually listen to those musicians? I thought they were really good.

Yes, they were.

And "Soyuz", although it is a Russian spacecraft, is also the Russian word for "unity" or something like that. The song I listed above was the Hymn of the USSR.

Ah, that's a lot better than the idea of a propaganda song! So you speak Russian? What does that Oy, to ne vecher song mean, what's it about?

I actually don't speak Russian, I just copied the Hymn of the Soviet Union lyrics from Wikipedia.
