'Katyusha'

Katyusha, Katusha or Katjusha (Russian: Катюша) is a Soviet wartime song about a girl longing for her beloved, who is away on military service. The music was composed in 1938 by Matvei Blanter and the lyrics were written by Mikhail Isakovsky. It was first performed by Valentina Batishcheva in the Column Hall of Moscow's House of the Unions. Later it was performed by Lidiya Ruslanova and other singers. It is part of the repertoire of the Alexandrov Ensemble. In 2010, Russian countertenor Vitas covered a version of this song.

Wish me luck. I'm singing this song for my talent show

Расцветали яблони и груши,
Поплыли туманы над рекой.
Выходила на берег Катюша,
На высокий берег на крутой.

Выходила, песню заводила
Про степного сизого орла,
Про того, которого любила,
Про того, чьи письма берегла.

Ой ты, песня, песенка девичья,
Ты лети за ясным солнцем вслед
И бойцу на дальнем пограничьи
От Катюши передай привет.

Пусть он вспомнит девушку простую,
Пусть услышит, как она поет,
Пусть он землю бережет родную,
А любовь Катюша сбережет.

When i was a little girl, in the 90’s, there was a small carousel at the entrance of a toy shop. You sat on a purple bear (there were two bears, so two people cold ride), and the carousel slowly twirled round to this melody.
It must have been made in Russia, or even Sovjet, this was only some years after the fall of the Sovjet union.

If you are bad at pronouncing these words, you can either slow the video down, or pause at every new lyric, and try to pronounce them slowly and then faster and faster and go on to the next. I slowed it down and now I can sing it, I still need the video though... Gonna train a bit more.

Listened to this on my headphones while jogging, I somehow ended up in Berlin

[ОмойповелительПозвольтеотметит]

Apple trees and pear trees were a flower,
River mist was rising all around.
Young Katyusha went strolling by the hour
On the steep banks,
O’er the rocky ground.

By the river’s bank she sang a love song
Of her hero in a distant land.
Of the one she’d dearly loved for so long,
Holding tight his letters in her hand.

Oh, my song, song of a maiden’s true love,
To my dear one travel with the sun.
To the one who Katyusha loves so,
Bring my greetings to him, one by one.

Let him know that I am true and faithful,
Let him hear the love song that I send.
Tell him as he defends our home that grateful,
True Katyusha our love will defend.

Apple trees and pear trees were a flower,
River mist was rising all around.
Young Katyusha went strolling by the hour
On the steep banks,
O’er the rocky ground.

All communist jokes aside, this is actually a beautiful song in my opinion
