Vtoraya molitva Magdaline (The Second Prayer to Magdalene) [4.84 MB]
(D. Berezhnyi – V. Sosnora) Viktor Sosnora is our contemporary and already a classic who lived in Petersburg. In the musical interpretation of Alexandr Mirzayan, a change of one letter led to an interesting
change in the meaning. Here I give a variant that is, to my mind, closest to the initial poetics of Sosnora.
For deeper study, listen to the works of Elena Frolova on the poems of Marina Tsvetaeva on the same topic, besides the above mentioned “Prayer to Mary Magdalene”.

Ya ostavil poslednuyu pulyu sebe... (The Last Bullet) [4.27 MB]
(D. Berezhnyi – V. Sosnora) This is a song with beautiful deformations of syntax that do not
corrupt, only emphasize human feelings. Don’t you remember: it seems to me Modigliani deformed the
lines of people being in love with them.

this: based on musical and literature tradition and speaking about eternal things in such a fresh
and piercing way.

Ya tebya otvoruyu... (I Will Steal You Back) [6.76 MB]
(D. Berezhnyi – V. Sosnora) Romantic monologue, where a man defends his pretension (probably for
a woman) from the point of view of Hermes, a Greek god wearing winged sandals — dodger, thief and huckster.
Hermes, unlike Apollo or Dionysus, was not the most popular god in the Pantheon — the more interesting the
position is (it is quite ambiguous) of a person who is shining himself, not glimmering in the sunlight.
There is an appeal that should be heard.

Negrenada (Nongrenada) [2.28 MB]
(D. Berezhnyi – K. Rupasov) Once, poet Mikhail Svetlov told how he wrote his famous ballad:
“I was approaching my home when I started singing “Grenada, Grenada...” Who can sing like this?
Definitely he can not be Spanish. It would be too primitive. Then who would sing?
When I opened the door, I already knew who would sing like this. Of course he is a Ukrainian guy”.
80 years past. A Ukrainian guy lived a life and understood much of his Ukraine and other countries.
So: “new songs were written by life itself” and he does not sing “Grenada”, he sings “Nongrenada” — a song on the lyrics of contemporary Moscow poet Konstantin Rupasov.

Uchitelskaya pesnya (Teacher’s Song) [10.9 MB]
This is a ballade about a soldier of the nineties. This is a conversation between a teacher and a woman who left him in hard times and has now come back.
Remember the deeds of those who have changed that time of trouble,
have not sold their soul, and continued to work fanatically even when they faced misunderstanding
of relatives and friends. Devoted to teachers of the nineties. (music and lyrics by D. Berezhnyi)

Razorvali menya popolam... (They Have Torn Me in Two) [6.11 MB]
(D. Berezhnyi – L. Gubanov) This is one of the last poems by Leonid Gubanov, 1982. There was an opinion that he had not written much good, but time shows that he did — more and more musicians turning to his poetry. I also recommend listening to the songs by Alexandr Derevyagin on poems by Leonid Gubanov.

Success of this song is ensured by the contrast of the marvelous melody and absolutely realistic words.
Opinions: “This can not be invented, it was for real”.
Many think that the topic is “love and poverty”. But to my mind, the main hero can not be called “poor”.
Poor is that woman who came to him from another world wearing gold. (music and lyrics by D. Berezhnyi)

Maidan (The Last Request of Old Lirnyk) [10 MB]
Widely known as “Maidan” on the poem by Vitaly Korotich. This song by Sergey Nikitin was known in Russian translation of U. Morits. In this case, it is sung in the original Ukrainian language. The poem “The Last Request of Old Lirnyk”, written in 1971, has nothing to do with revolutions.
Short comment: The lirnyk was an itinerant Ukrainian musician who performed religious, historical and epic songs to the accompaniment of a lira, the Ukrainian version of the hurdy-gurdy.

Radost est! (There is Joy!) [5.38 MB]
(“Y’a d’la joie” Ch. Trenet, M. Emer – Ch. Trenet, translation by I. Olekhova) Some joyful songs are
very impressive. Especially if they are written before a war. I could not help crying when I listed to
the song «à-à, êðîêîäèëû, áåãåìîòû...» from the movie “About the Red Hat”, released right before the
Afghan war. The joyful song by Charles Trenet has the same property, because it was written in 1938
when everyone was living.
It is interesting that people love this song so much that there is even a song
about the song “Y’a d’la joie” and about Charles Trenet, “L’enfant aux cheveux gris”. It was written
by the Canadian representative of modern French chanson, Lynda Lemay.

Pianitsa (The Drunkard) [9.21 MB]
(“L’ivrogne” Fr. Rauber, G. Jouannest – J. Brel, translation by I. Olekhova) After recording several variants of “L’ivrogne”, I have decided to stop on this, more descent. I like it the most.
Any image that is more descent is more preferable for me. We will vary the degree of inebriation
(the hero of Brel gives many opportunities for this) another time.
About this song, translation and performance are also read in the interview
with Denys Berezhnyi for The Brelitude: “Jacques Brel covers”.

V amsterdamskom portu (In Amsterdam Port) [7.53 MB]
(“Amsterdam” music and lyrics by J. Brel, translation by Ya. Startsev, edited by A. Avanesov) In fact, the port of Amsterdam is
far from being such a foul place as is stated in Brel’s song. It is just an image of the world. For
someone this is an image of other world, for other — of our. You may belong to the first
or to the second, but condemning it, do not forget also to feel sorry for it.
Short comment on the adjective “batave”: Batave republic existed for about 11 years after the Great
French revolution and then got the name used today — Holland (Netherlands). Here “batave” is “Holland”.

Uvezite menya (Take Me Along) [8.47 MB]
(“Emmenez-moi” music and lyrics by Ch. Aznavour, translation by I. Olekhova) This song takes from reality to dreams.
The energy of the sea can be felt here, that is what I love about it the most. We shall thank the
poet-translator and performer Irina Olekhova for great translations of French songs.

Une vie d’amour [8.82 MB]
(G. Garvarentz – Ch. Aznavour, from the film “Teheran 43”, in French) This song is very beautiful.
Because it is about love. But it is also a right song because it is about immortal love. There is
no other love in fact.
The video of “Une vie d’amour” from the festival «Brassens + Áðàññåíñ» (Moscow, Theatre Center
“Na Strastnom”, October 2006), can be found in Video

Vse kanet (Everything Will Fade) [7.99 MB]
(“Ça passe” G. Garvarentz – Ch. Aznavour, translation by I. Olekhova) This is a song with
absolutely wrong ideology, a kind of mockery about “Une vie d’amour” (same authors) that declines the
ethical ideal that was reached. There are two explanations: 1) this is a joke, an irony of great
musicians; 2) the word “love” is used in the meaning “amorousness” or “passion” by exalt man, so he may be excused.

Stariy Leon (Old Leon) [9.51 MB] (“Le vieux Léon” music and lyrics by G. Brassens, translation by A. Avanesov) Who got that damned idea to hide the shame of criminal style by the noble word “chanson”… “Old Leon” — this is a real chanson. This is a song by French chansonier Georges Brassens with typical attributes of the genre: noisy quarter, valtz and accordion, a wise and kind smile with love to a man. But you may see that this musical narration is not of ordinary format comparing to what is called “chanson” here. It is interesting if those who like labels will be in format when they follow the hero of the song or their format will better match another place?

Khorovod brannykh slov (The Round of Curses) [5.74 MB] (“La ronde des jurons” music and lyrics by G. Brassens, translation by A. Avanesov) A unique song — within a short period of time about 30 French curses are used. “That’s how a translator shall excel to translate non-translatable song”, says Alexandr Avanesov, translator of this and many other songs by Georges Brassens.

Studio “Laos”, 2007.
Ne brosay menya (Do Not Leave Me) [8.86 MB]
(“Ne me quitte pas” music and lyrics by J. Brel, liberal translation by D. Berezhnyi) The Russian translation of the song
about which Edith Piaf said: “man shall not sing like this”. Men in the street express this in more
simple words: “the song where the man abases before a woman”. The song, as famous and vexing, deserves
a special discussion. About this song, translation
and performance are also read in the interview with
Denys Berezhnyi for The Brelitude: “Jacques Brel covers”.

Translation, 2006. Studio “Laos”, 2007.
La quête [5.51 MB]
(D. Wasserman, M. Leigh, J. Darion, J. Brel) The song of Don Quixote from the musical “L’Homme de La
Mancha”. At the beginning was Cervantes and his Don Quixote of La Mancha (1605). In 1959, an American
play for television by Dale Wasserman appeared that became a musical, “Man of La Mancha”, owing to the
music of Mitch Leigh and the libretto by Joe Darion, then it was translated into many languages. French
Don Quixote is Jacques Brel.
I performed a variant of the leitmotif song from this musical “The Impossible Dream (The Quest)” with lyrics by Brel. My Quixote is unexpectedly guitar, as usual. But why unexpectedly? He is Spanish.

Rotaru, N. Koroleva. They refused. I think that complexity of performance should not be a ground to refuse beautiful song. (music and lyrics by D. Berezhnyi)

(A. Varlamov – A. Fet) When a singer sings the romance “Do Not Wake Her Up at the Dawn”, he either sings
about the life of Mary Lazich or he is not a singer.
The anticipation of a tragedy is the most essential in this song.
