I really like this song. And I love the traditional/ethnic sounds that come in. Could do well for Russia

[zhannamartin]

English Lyrics:

Manizha
Russian Woman

The field, the field, the field to cross over,
But I am so small (to do it alone)...
The field, the field, the field to cross over,
Still, I am so small (to do it alone)...
How to cross over a field when one’s just come out of fire?
How to cross over a field, if I am alone?

Ahhh
Should I wait for someone’s hand,
Though a very little hand?
Who would give it to me, girls?


It has always been so for ages,
From dawn to dusk,
From dawn to dusk,
We have been waiting for scarlet sails,

(Here: Reference to a famous fairy tale by A. Grin,
Meaning “waiting for your beloved one, a super hero to come one morning and set you free”)

We have been waiting for scarlet sails,

But what are you waiting for now?
Just get up and go forwards!

Every Russian woman needs to know:
You are strong enough to bounce against the wall!

Every Russian woman needs to know:
You are strong enough to bounce against the wall!

- No need to persist...
- You are so beautiful...
- Still waiting for your beloved one,
You are so beautiful...

You must be in your thirties,
Allo, where are your children?
You are globally beautiful,
But should get slimmer...
You should put something shorter,
You should put something longer,
Grown up without a father,
You got accustomed to do the things that
- YOU DIDN’T WANT!
Are you sure that you still don’t?
- YOU DON’T WANT BUT YOU HAVE TO!

- Listen, really, we are not a herd of cattle,

Hey, crows, please, keep silent and leave me in peace,

Now, get it in your head:
I don’t blame you, and I love myself!

Chorus:
Fighting, fighting,
Everyone is fighting with each other all around, instead of praying (for a peace)
A son without a father,
A daughter without a father,
But a broken family will never brake me down!

Hey, “Russian Woman”,
(Here: with strong accent, ironically: Manizha was born in Tadjikistan that she left for Russia shortly after the beginning of the civil war in Tadjikistan)


Vote for me!

Yes,
You’re strong enough, don’t be afraid,
You’re strong enough, don’t be afraid!

Chorus:
Fighting, fighting,
Everyone is fighting with each other all around,
Instead of praying (for a peace).
A son without a father,
A daughter without a father,
But a broken family will never brake me down!

Самое главное, энергия есть, в отличие от ещё двух претендентов

You it's very, very cute 🤗🤗🤗 thank you! Manizha ❤, from Russia))

Thank you very much Clara for revieiwng Russia's ESC 2021 entry "Russian Woman". To me, the first one and a half minutes, it sound rather messy to me; some lines sound like an attempt to replicate certain parts of Netta's "TOY" (2018), whereas other lines sound to me like half singing / half talking. You said your favourite bit, which you call the bridge, is this part:

Boryut·sya, boryut·sya
Vse po krugu boryut·sya
da ne molyat·sya
Syn bez ottsa, doch bez ottsa
No slomannoy family ne slomatʹ menya

That's the only part that I (sort of like); there are in fact two instances of that; the first is about one and a half minutes into the song, and the other is at the end. Mind you, thinking about it, I'm not sure how that fits in with the rest of the song, which is not my musical taste at all. I think Russia is being adventurous / taking a risk here; I even have my doubts as to whether or not this will qualify for the ESC Grand Final. My own video, with my views on "Russian Woman", is here:

I wonder if our Queen of Spain aka Clara will react to Queen of Latvia this friday :D :)

Vesnyánochka, vesnyánochka

Zaspіváyu spіvánochku

Sіyu, sіyu, sіyu, sіyu zelenesenky

Pryidy, pryidy, vesnyanochko
Ta y ne zabarysya
A my vyidem na yulytsyu

Vesnyanochko, panyanochko

Numo, numo zapletemo shuma
Zapletemo, hulyaty pіdemo

Sіyu, sіyu, sіyu, sіyu zelenesenky

Vesnyanochka, vesnyanochka

U sadochku na klenochku

Oy u lіsі na uzlіsі
Sova v dudu duye
Zaspіvayu spіvanochku
Nekhay vona chuye

Zapletysya, shume, barvіnochkom

Numo, numo narobyly shumu,
Narobyly vesnu rozbudyly
