STEREO ALSO PLAYABLE MONO

Ensemble conducted by Igon Puchalski

Sings MEADOWLAND & Other Russian Songs, Old & New Side One 1. LYUBA (2:15) There is no one prettier than Lyuba, Dark braids reach to her waist, Her rosy lips are corals, Her eyes deep as the sea. When Lyuba sings my heart feels light and warm, When Lyuba laughs the sun shines brighter. The time will come and someone curly·haired and tender Will kiss Lyuba's lips and put a loving arm around her. He will look into her eyes and in the silence Of the moonlit night he will sing softly to her: Refrain:

Lyuba darling, Lyuba my love, My heart is happy loving you, I will never be able to forget you!

2. OLD WALTZ (Slarinyi Vals) (3:20) I remember the lovely sound of a waltz. Late on a spring night an unknown voice Sang the beautiful melody. It was an old languid waltz, It was a lovely waltz. And now it is winter And the same trees stand in darkness, The snowstorm howls behind the windows, And no sound of the waltz is heard. Where is the old, languid waltz, And I was so young, And I loved you so much!

3. MEADOWLAND (Polyushko-Polye) (2 :57) Across the wide fields Go the heroes of the Russian Army. Young girls are crying, Young girls are sad today, Their sweethearts went with the army, They will be long gone. Girls, look up, Girls, wipe away your tears, Listen to our battle song.

4. SONG OF A FRIEND (pyesnya Druga) (3:25)

Just as we share all joy, so we share all trouble; As the waves in the sea so are we one behind the other. On board ship a friend always protects his friend, For him he is willing to give up his place in the life·boat And his life·belt. You don't have to ask him; . Nothing bad can happen when we are together. My friend is my third shoulder, he is always with me. But should he fall in love and I am in his way, I will leave, that's the law-the third has to go away.

5. BY THE OLD OAK TREE (Kak U Duba Starovo) (3:15) By the old oak tree The steeds beat their hooves, Flinging their manes. We went through the villages, Over the Don and across our steppes. The nightingales sang in the raspberry·bushes, The leaves of the splender poplars rustled. In the leafy forest young girls Greeted the young horsemen with bold song.

6. WHEN I AM DRUNK (Kogda Ya Pyan) (2:40) I do not care if I perish forever, For the time being I shall drink and drink. I drink from joy, from boredom, Forgetting the whole world, the universe. With a glass in my hand I know no grief.

When I am drunk, and I am always drunk, There is nothing I am afraid of, And hell itself couldn?t disturb my blissfulness. At dawn I return jolly, I drink more vodka, I got my education at "Gypsy University."

Side Two 1. THE YOUNG LAD (Malchishka) (2:55)

The young lad in a new red shirt went on a spree, But then he had no money to pay for the drinks. He spent about a thousand. Oh, if only he could slip away home, but the proprietor grabs his shirt and asks: "Whose son are you?"-"I am the son of Matryona Aleksandrova, who my father is, God alone knows ... "-"Sit down and let's drink up another thousand, my son, my own dear son."

(The stanzas that follow are chastushki, or nonsense rhymes)

2. THE COACH IS RACING (Vol Mchitsa Troika) (3:30)

The coach is racing over the frozen Volga river. The coachman shakes his young head And hums a cheerless song. "What are you thinking of, lad?" Asked his gray·haired passenger politely. "What sorrow is in your heart, Or did someone hurt you?" "Oh, kind sir, soon it will be one year Since I fell in love. The rich old Tartar scolds me And I have to put up with it. Christmas is near but she won't be mine. A rich but hateful man was chosen for her, There are no happy days ahead for her." The coachman fell silent, He stuck his leather whip behind his belt. "Oh, you restless horses, be quiet!" Said he with a mournful sigh.

3. TACHANKA* (2:45)

Fly out of the way, bird, Beast, get out of the road, You see, a cloud is swirling, The steeds are dashing ahead. And while flying along, on the turn, On the thick line of the enemy, Shooting away from the machine gun The young machine gunner. Chorus:

Oh, Rostov tachanka, Our pride and beauty, A machine gun tachanka, All four wheels.

*The "Tachanka" was a typical Russian peasant horse·drawn cart with a machine gun mounted on its rear. Used in the Civil War 1918·21.

4. BELOVED CITY (Lyubimyi Gorod) (2:45)

My friend is flying away to a distant land, His native winds follow after him. The beloved city, the familiar house, The green garden and the tender glance Fade away in the blue haze. He will go through wars and battles Without sleep or rest, So that the beloved city can sleep calmly And dream, and turn green with spring. And when my friend comes back His native winds will follow him, The beloved city will smile at him,

And so will the familiar house, The green garden and the cheerful glance.

5. STROLLING HOME (Provozhaniye) (2:17)

Hand me my golden·voiced accordion! A young fellow took a girl home from a party. They walked hand in hand, happy and friendly, But the path was too short and the parting too soon. Her house with the dark window appeared before them,>L&.I Oh, road, please stretch some more! Katya does not feel right about going home Later than all the others, But her little feet refuse to go home. Oh, my golden·voiced accordion, akh!

6. CORNFLOWERS (Vasilyochki)

Do you remember the sunny field That looked like blue velvet ...

(4:00)

We walked there together and picked cornflowers. I still remember our kisses and how we laughed When we bent down to pick up the flowers. And now when we parted The dried out cornflowers Are all there is left to me As memory of those happy days.

7. ON THE SUNNY MEADOW

(Na Solnechnoi Polyanochke) (3:00)

-

On the sunny meadow a young lad plays on the harmonica about love and his beloved. He tells how he spent summer nights with her and about the pretty gifts he gave her. Before he left for the war he proposed to her, but she laughed and said that she would consider his proposal when he came back decorated with an order. In the air he fought the enemy and won a medal. An airmail letter from his beloved came to tell him that she waits for him, even if he won only a medal. Refrain: Play, my harmonica, Tell the story of how that dark·eyed girl Drove me mad.

ALEXANDER ZELKIN was born In Lyons, France, to a Russian father and a French mother, so he was, so to speak, bilingual from birth.

Having taught himself the guitar at the age of fourteen, he went on to study voice at the Conservatory of Lyons. As a matter of fact, he has since then learned to sing in fourteen languages, and speaks fluently in seven of them. He has applied his knowl· edge of languages to the folk field and has built a very impres· sive repertory of the folk music of the world. These he has learned and sung publicly in many countries in which he lived for longer or shorter periods,-most especially in France, Italy, Yugoslavia and Israel, Algeria and Afghanistan. From 1957 to 1959 he gave up his itinerant life and enrolled in the Conservatory at Lyons as a serious student of the opera, but this he gave up in favor of the field of folk music, where he has remained ever since.

Today he lives with his French wife and their young daughter in Montreal, where he pursues his avocation of photography in between singing engagements.

Vot mchitsa troika pochtovaya, Po Volge-matushke zimoi. Yamshchik unylo napevaya, Kachayet buyinoi golovoi.

"0 chyom zadumalsya dyetina?" Syedok pr1vyetlivo sprosil, "Kakaya na sertse kruchina, 11 kto tyebya chyem ogorchil?"

"Akh,milyi barin,dobryi barin, Vot skoro god kak ya lyublyu. Bogatyi starosta-tatarin Myenya branit,a ya tyerplyu.

Yamshchik umolk i knut ryemyonyi S golitseyi za poyas zatknul. "Rodnyie! Stoi,nyeugomonyie!" Skazal,sam goryestno vzdokhnul.

7. TALYANOCHKA (NA SOLN~CHNOI POLYANOCHKE)

Na solnechnoi polyanochke, Dugoyu vignuv brov, Parnishka na talyanochke Igrayet pro lyubov. Pro to kak nochi zharkiye S podruzhkoi provodil, Kakiye poluahalki yel Krsaiviye daril.

Refrain: Igrai,igrai,razakazivai, Talyanochka aama, o tom,kak chernoglazaya Svyela a uma.

Kogda na bitvu groznuyu Parniahka ukhadil, On nochyu,tyomnoi,zvyozdnol Yei aertse predlozhil. V atvet devch1na gordaya Shutila liah nad nim -"Kogda vyernyoahsya a ordenom, Togda pogovor1m."

Refrain:

Boyeta smelo nad gorodom S talyanochkoi kruzh11, I v lyutoi bitve a vorogom Medal on zaaluzhl1. Priahlo pismo letucheye V zaanezhenuyu dal, Chto zhdyot,chto v krainyem aluchaye Soglaana na medal.

Refrain:

Na aolnechnoi polyanochke, Dugoyu vignuv brov, Parnishka na talyanochke Igrayet pro lyubov. Pro to kak nochi zharkiye S podruzhkoi provodil, Kakiye poluahalki yei Kraaiviye daril.
