Songs of Love

Votre âme est un paysage choisi
Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi
Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques.

Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur
L'amour vainqueur et la vie opportune
Ils n'ont pas l'air de croire à leur bonheur
Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune,

Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres
Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau,
Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres.[1]
Your soul is a chosen landscape
Where charming masquerades and dancers are promenading,
Playing the lute and dancing, and almost
Sad beneath their fantastic disguises.

While singing in a minor key
Of victorious love, and the pleasant life
They seem not to believe in their own happiness
And their song blends with the light of the moon,

With the sad and beautiful light of the moon,
Which sets the birds in the trees dreaming,
And makes the fountains sob with ecstasy,
The slender water streams among the marble statues.

Unusual love song. The song is that this is an eternal dream of people, but no one knows where it lives

 


Where art thou, little star?​

English Translation © Philip Ross Bullock

Where are you, little star, oh where are you, my bright one?
Have you gone behind a gloomy cloud?
Where are you, fair maiden, where are you, my fair one?
Have you forsaken your beloved?
And so with woe and cruel pain,
I shall go out into the field, the open field,
Will I not see there my little bright star?
Will I not encounter there my fair young maid?
A black cloud has hidden my little star,
The cold earth has taken my fair maid.

Sorry Bru; any version with English subtitles??

I think not, this group is not well known in English-speaking countries.
Something like that:


Bitter laments of mourning bells are carried into the sky
Weeping monks weeping monks - they lost love
They jump up their cassocks from edge to edge of the dawn
Crying monks looking for true love in books

Chorus:

But where does eternal love live?
For example, I'm not always ready to love
Eternal love - eternal dream
Untouched silence.


The Pope smashed all the icons and buried the Vatican himself
Torturing his look he seeks a signs and curses Islam
But do not return eternal love - blind banner of fools.
Eternal love, pure dream, Untouched silence. Untouched silence.
 

This is a well-known Russian song, it is close to the hussar romance, not quite native Russian and not quite Leningrad, to be honest. I associate such songs with the steppe culture of the cavalry.

The people of Germany love it very much performed by Helen Fischer

 
Leningrad is just the region where there were no Russian "cowboys". Russian cowboys are Cossacks and Hussars.
 
He says that love has a battered name. This is true, it has become like a banality, this word is raped

Very popular in the 1960s here and most of the English Speaking world I think:
