“Любо, братцы, любо” — Russian Cossack Song

[neathizar]

Song is truly lovely, brothers, just lovely

[Kaztorov]

Тяжелая песня про тяжелую жизнь великих казаков. В ней вся грусть, несправедливость и всё отношение к поздним атаманам. Мир великим войнам, предкам нашим

[harmny]

English lyrics:

Like the wild Terek, to the high shore,
The Cossacks chased out forty thousand horses.
And the shore covered itself, and the Terek covered himself,
With hundreds of chopped and shot bodies!

Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, there is no grief!
Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, there is no grief!

And the first bullet, and the first bullet,
And the first bullet hit my horse into his chest!
And the second bullet, and the second bullet,
And the second stupid bullet injured me!

Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, there is no grief!
Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, there is no grief!

The ataman learns: a warrior is missing!
The squad resupplies and forgets about me!
I'm sorry about that soldier in that wide field,
I'm sorry, dear mother, about that buckskinned horse!

Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, there is no grief!


The cold rain will, the cold rain will,
The cold rain will wash my bones!
The black crow will, the black crow will,
Peck my falcon eyes!

Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, there is no grief!
Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, there is no grief!

Like the wild Terek, to the high shore,
The Cossacks chased out forty thousand horses.
And the shore covered itself, and the Terek covered himself,
With hundreds of chopped and shot bodies!

Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, there is no grief!
Merry, brothers, merry,
It's merry to live, brothers!
With our ataman, we will bow our heads merrily!

Thanks for reading, and greetings from Slovakia.))

Интересный факт эту песню пели в 1918 году козаки которые освободили Юзовку а потом в 1919-1921 под эту песню козаки боролись с красной нечистью.

Слава Великому Войску Донскому! Героям Слава! Настоящие Казаки!

[zvezdanivanovic]

Prelepa pesma, privet od srca za bracu Ruse iz Serbie...

[amrIvia]

Хоть песня Донских козаков и анархистов Нестора Ивановича похожи, но отличаются по смыслу .

[zvezdanivanovic]

Volimo vas braco Rusi i sestre Ruskinje, mi Serbi sanjamo carsku Rusiju ...ne volimo sovjetizam koji nas je odvojio ali dace Bog da se vratite Hristu i Krstu...nasa sudbina je vezana za nasu Rusku bracu... Samo

Коммунисты расказачили терских казаков.Убиыали всех кто сопротивлялся.Вечная память Терским Казакам.

There is some discord, suspicion about the origin of this song. And from what I was able to find out, I can summarize the following.

The phrase "Lyubo, bratsy, zhit'" (Russian: Любо, братцы, жить) appeared in a soldiers' song published in Biblioteka Dlya Chteniya (Russian monthly magazine founded in Saint Petersburg), 1837.

According to several authors, the song is dedicated to the events of the Russian Civil War (1917 - 1922). Other sources mention it as a piece of Cossack folklore. It is also said that the song was recorded in Ukrainian by folklorists from the southern Kherson Oblast and was popular with Nestor Makhno's troops (an anarcho-communist movement) in the Ukraine in the early 1920s.

The song became extremely popular after the release of the Soviet film Alexander Parkhomenko (1942), where it was performed by Boris Chirkov. In 1942-1943, an adaptation of tankers was created, based on Chirkov's version.

The song was popularized by such well-known Russian artists as the Kuban Cossack Choir, Zhanna Bichevskaya, Pelageya, etc.

Synopsis: The Cossacks led 40, 000 horses to the Terek River. After the bloody battle, one bank of the Terek is covered by the dead men and animals. The fatally wounded hero remembers about his wife, his mother, and his steed. Feeling sorrow for the two latter, he mourns his fate.

У тебя очень редкие версии песен на канале

[ИлдарАйнетдинов-яз]

Морская пехота анархо-коммунистов билась в союзе с отрядами Батьки Махно за идеи Анархии

[ЮрийМатвеев-жд]

Не правда сорок тысяч казаков некогда не могут быть убитыми и порублеными -не верю как настоя́щий Казак веть это огромная сила-Ну щто молчити, а печаль просто, я веть умру

[grasstails]

i kinda like the slight ukrainian accent, cossacks are not meant to be specifically ukrainian nor russian

[serikt]

Херню не говорите кто войну выиграли, мы оренбургской войска побороли, где они

[serikt]

С какого хера все казаки за советские воевали

[АртемБычков-вн]

И они же (кто против советского строя) развалили страну

[Вадим-вчя]

Люди были свободные.Сейчас попробуй из кармана ножик достать, по нам как по врагам стрелять начнут.
