This is the time that I had a chance to sit in the hall to enjoy the great singers in the Holy Christmas day 25 Dec 2010. They had a good arrangement of the songs and the Climax was the last song Kalinka , probably the most famous Russian Folk Songs!
Little Snowberry, snowberry,
Snowberry of mine!
Little raspberry in the garden,
My little raspberry,
As, under the pine, the green one, lay me down o sleep.
Ah, rock-a-baby.
Lay me down to sleep,
Little Snowberry, snowberry,
Snowberry of mine!
Little raspberry in the garden,
My little raspberry!
Ah, little pine, little green one,
Don't rustle above me.
Ah, rock-a-baby.
Don't rustle above me.
Little snowberry, snowberry, Snowberry of mine!
Little raspberry in the garden,
My little raspberry!
Ah, you beauty, Pretty maiden.
Take a fancy to me,
Ah, rock-a-baby,
Take a fancy to me,
Little snowberry, snowberry, snowberry of mine!
Little raspberry in the garden, my little raspberry!
