Ilya Alekseevich Shatrov - "On The Hills Of Manchuria" descargar videos gratis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia-
"On the hills of Manchuria" (Russian: На сопках Маньчжурии, Na sopkah Manchzhurii) is a haunting waltz composed in 1906 by Ilya Alekseevich Shatrov, a military musician who served in the Russo-Japanese War, while the lyrics are the work of the poet Stepan Petrov, better known by the pen-name of Skitalets.
It refers to the Battle of Mukden, the final land battle of the Russo-Japanese War where the Russian army was decisively routed by the Japanese. The original lyrics are about fallen soldiers lying in their graves in Manchuria, but alternative lyrics were written later, especially during Second World War.
"On the Hills of Manchuria" has become one of the most popular Russian songs, and has been transformed into urban folklore, with different versions coexisting with the original.

That's is sad when thinking of Russian soldiers defending their land against the Japanese. But the saddest thing is that Manchuria isn't even a part of Russia. That's some harsh history for every Chinese.6 years ago

We'll Do It Live!
Here are the lyrics, just to get an idea how sad it isAround us, it is calm; Hills are covered by mist,Suddenly, the moon shines through the clouds,Graves hold their calm.The white glow of the crosses — heroes are asleep.The shadows of the past circle around,Recalling the victims of battles.Dear mother is shedding tears,The young wife is weeping,All like one are crying,Cursing fate, cursing destiny!Around us, it’s calm; The wind blew the fog away,Warriors are asleep on the hills of ManchuriaAnd they cannot hear the Russian tears.Let sorghum’s rustling lull you to sleep,Sleep in peace, heroes of the Russian land,Dear sons of the Fatherland.Dear mother is shedding tears,The young wife is weeping,All like one are crying,Cursing fate, cursing destiny!You fell for Russia, perished for Fatherland,Believe us, we shall avenge youAnd celebrate a bloody wake!from Wikipedia6 years ago

The Japanese are known for their ruthlessness and inhumane tactics in war. All fascist Japanese in the world must be exterminated before they massacre more civilian populations with killer robots and nuclear weaponary.6 years ago

And how beautiful are the words of this song:Scary all around,And the wind on the hills weepsSometimes, because of the clouds, the moon emerges,The soldiers' graves are illuminated.The crosses are whiteFar heroes are beautiful.And past shadows are spinning around,They tell us about the victims of vain.Here, undergroundOur heroes are asleepA song above them the wind singsAnd the stars look from heaven.Sleep soldiers,Sleep soundly.Let you dream of a native land,Father's distant house.6 years ago
