Oy Da Ne Vecher - Pelagea - Russian to English Translation/Ой, да не вечер - Пелагея - перевод

I do not own the copyright to this music or video. I have subtitled it in colloquial American English for the benefit of those who are learning the Russian or English languages.

Tonight's output from Translation Station:

I translated this song performed by Pelagea, "Oy, Da Ne Vecher" - "Oh, What an Evening." The video is of her performance at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

This is my own translation and not any official translation, although there are many translations of this song. It is actually an old folk song based on the story of a Cossack who was drawn and quartered in the 17th Century. The song itself was written in the 1800's.

This is quintessential Russian folk with a modern twist which is reminiscent of The Eagles "Hotel California."

She is a real woman: without a hint of falseness and vulgarity, beautiful, proud, pure. Strong, but still gentle. She is the embodiment of what a woman is.

Ova zena nestvarno peva! Njen glas ko da sa neba dolazi. Ko da je prati hiljadu andjela. Zaista "bozanski". Toliki raspon glasa od tenora do mezosoprana, zaista nesto sto se retko cuje.
Ona jeste dragulj medu pevacima, kako sa svojim carobnim glasom, tako i sa svojom damskom i autotitativnom pojavom na pozornici, kojom ne ostavlja nikoga ravnodusnim. Pred njom padaju sve barijere. Jednostavno, njen glas otvara svaka vrata i svaku dusu na istiku, zapadu, severu i jugu.
Hvala ti puno sto postojis.

This is my favourite Russian folk song. And Pelagea's performance is the best ever.

[nikolaos]

подавляющее большинство греков симпатизируют. Они любят русский народ, не знаю, но что-то прекрасное нас связывает

[mattiasalsander]

Elsa grew tired of "Let it go" and really stepped up her game! (Just kidding, that was the best singing I have ever seen!)

[goldenstilettos]

Every time I hear Pelageya sing, I just want to ( and do) cry my eyes out

Lots of admiration and respect from Türkiye, this is the one of the strongest songs and performances I have listened in my entire life. She is something else, this is pure art. "It will come off"...

Текст песни:

Ой, то не вечер, то не вечер,
Ой мне малым мало спалось.
Мне малым мало спалось, (2 раза)
Ой, да во сне привиделось. (2 раза)

Мне во сне привиделось,
Будто конь мой вороной
Разыгрался, расплясался, (2 раза)
Ой, да разрезвился подо мной. (2 раза)

Ой, налетели ветры злые,
Да с восточной стороны.
Да сорвали темну шапку, (2 раза)
Ой, да с моей буйной головы. (2 раза)

А есаул догадлив был,
Он сумел сон мой разгадать.
Ой, пропадет, он говорил, (2 раза)
Твоя буйна голова. (2 раза)

Ой, то не вечер, то не вечер…
Ой, мне малым мало спалось,
Мне малым мало спалось, (2 раза)
Ой, да во сне привиделось. (2 раза)
