I am, too "Jaysv!" ☺I first heard it in Das Boot in 1981 ("Schwarze Augen" in German) & then got the soundtrack ( which is amazing ) & fell in love with that version. But I also love this version, which of course is in the original language. Another great song in the movies is Vladimir Vysotsky's Horses" in White Knights."Thanks VanE for posting !!!🙂

When I first saw this movie I didn't realize this would be my very favorite rendition of this song.

I remember watching this with my mom on the TV, and I started to sing along and she was like WTF

[gingernightmare]

I know the first verse... now learning the second one. I love Russian language. ❤❤

[Zennofobic]

i remember when I uploaded this clip right after the movie came out and Youtube banned that account. Thanks youtube for being assholes and then changing up your policies.

I had no idea Johnny Winter could play the accordion.

[kylemose]

I saw this when I was in my 20s and cringed at the guy singing. Watching it now I’m impressed at his voice 😯

[gingernightmare]

btw... there is a clip of Frank Sinatra singing this on YouTube and it makes it easier to learn..

[brucekyle]

This song reminds me of Ajda Pekkan– Bir Gunah Gibi (Nathalie)

Anyone else here because of Ellie Rowsell? I can see why she wouldn't have necessarily felt like sleeping after being sung this by nana.
