The River (meaning): This song is an old Russian ritual song about an orphan bride. The girl has no parents. The river was considered the boundary between the world of the living and the dead. She goes to the river and asks for the blessing of marriage. She says that there are many people at home, but there is no father and mother. You hear Diana singing in a whisper which are the words of the deceased mother of the bride. Then the girl is crying. In Russia, people sang sad songs at the weddings to scare away evil, and help marriage of a young couple to be happy. Such songs were called “weeping.” The figures behind Diana are spirits of water and forest.

[@gregwormald8400]

Excellent Dee. One translation & comment I read was that the "baby" referred to is her baby brother, whom she must leave to take up her married life, and that getting married is not likely her choice.

[@marianagunter2283]

@@gregwormald8400 The song "Rechenka" consists of lines of various wedding, ritual songs. In different regions of Russia, these songs were sung in their own way, and the meaning of these songs was slightly different. The song "Rechenka" in this form and in modern processing was performed by Alla Pugacheva in 1974.

[@ju1ietta]

@@gregwormald8400 You have been misled. Here are these two lines from the song: "You are a baby, but my baby, you are sitting, but you will not smile." The whole phrase is said by the dead mother to the girl-bride. She is the one who addresses her daughter like a child. But only the last words "you will not smile" were pronounced in an eerie voice.

[@frankbosch3638]

Thanks Dee, that helps to feel the tension she expresses.

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

Wow, fantastic explanation. Thank you.

[@j.d.2779]

Told you this performance (because it is not only singing but living the song and portraying the character in a theatrical and dramatic way) was her very best and it will be remembered for decades. It is a stunning example of her incredible talent. Diana is also an unbelievably funny teenager as can be seen on her KZbin and TikTok accounts. She is now 17 and attending GITIS which is the largest and oldest Russian School of the Performing Arts and living in Moscow thanks to Victor Krutoy. I would not be surprised if she becomes an actress later on because she is so passionate and expressive ! Kudos to Irina Povnik who adopted her when she was 5 years old. Her childhood life story is also very tragic and movie material in itself because this adorable girl had to overcome tremendous odds to be where she is now. Knowing more about her only deepens the respect one feels when witnessing her performances. I believe she will become a legend !

The show is YOU ARE SUPER, a show for orphans and disadvantaged youth, Diana has won it twice and it has led to many great things for her.

[@vladkoroliov3726]

Hello from Russia! Isn't that great? Even without knowing the language, this performance of Diana causes goosebumps on the skin of any normal person, where he would not have been and in whatever country he lived!

[@АлександрСараджев]

Diane is a unique girl. Thenk you for your reaction.

[@Галина-ф2т8р]

It's very nice to see your reaction. She is very kind and informative. Diana can sing anything, any genre. Go to her channel. She has been singing since she was five years old.

[@markanne54]

The show is called You Are Super and involves being judged by four judges each round. To progress at least three judges have to press their buttons. In the first year that Diana appeared she performed Derniere Danse, It's A Man's World, Rechenka and Tomorrow Is A Lie in the final. For the final round the judges don't press their buttons as it's opened up to the viewers to vote on-line for the winner. Of course Diana won it. The following year they held a Grand Prix and invited back previous winners. Diana performed Blizzard, Wicked Game and in the final Human. There were only three rounds that year. And of course Diana won it again. Oh, and she got all four buzzers in every round of both competitions and got overwhelmingly voted as the winner by the viewers each year.

[@Ginger_Cat2604]

Thank you for your reaction to "Rechenka"! As you noticed, Diana yodels and even sang "Yodel Time" at Voice Kids Russia. The judges didn't turn and put themselves into the ridiculous situation to invent explanations for their unexplainable decision.

[@ГалинаДжиоева-х3ъ]

For Deauna always big Like👍

[@filinzar2600]

Thank you, Adam, for your wonderful reaction!👍 I agree that Diana's voice contains so many tones and textures that she will color any song with them and make it her own. She is a great artist and a unique performer!🌟🎵🌺💜

[@GreenJeans1966]

Thanks for your time and opinions for Diana. If Mother Nature had a voice Diana's vocals are it. After one of her performances one of the shows voice coaches,not the judges, said to Diana, "Art poisons you." Now isn't that a profound comment. I can't imagine what a concert hall would sound like filled to the top with her voice. Maybe someday I'll have an opportunity to do so. That will be a good day indeed.

[@natalieo-s8908]

[@allanm9913]

Great reaction, thanks. A performance for the ages. Diana is a world class singer. The english translation was hysterically funny - the tower of google strikes again. A better english translation below if anyone is interested. But, the simple language distracts from the song and it plays better without them on screen. You are my river, my river, you flow and don't even quiver. Oh, you're a baby, my baby, why are you sitting and not smiling? Oh, playmates, my dear playmates, oh, I have nothing to rejoice about, oh, I have nothing to smile about. We have a yard full of horses and the room is full with the guests, with the guests, with the guests. I have neither father nor mother, there is no one to bless me... You are my river, my river, you flow and don't even quiver...

[@rinirikka]

Yes! So glad you've heard this song! I struggled to find words to describe how overwhelmingly beautiful she sang it too. But we could see all the emotions in your reaction. Thanks for that :) PS you're doing everything right! Keep going and the channel will grow!

[@viktor_vovikov]

Rechenka" ("River") "You are my river, my river, you flow but not quiver. Oh, you're a baby, my baby, why are you sitting and not smiling? Oh, playmates, my dear playmates, oh, I have nothing to rejoice about, oh, I have nothing to smile about. We have a yard full of horses, and the cenacle is full with the guests, with the guests, with the guests. I have neither father nor mother, there is no one to bless me... You are my river, my river, you flow but not quiver." Diana is the bride going to the river, where the spirits of the dead live, to lament to her dead mother that she has no one to bless her at her wedding. The dancers represent the spirits of the forest animals so I am told.

I came for your first Diana reaction and subscribed for all the Aurora ones! 😍 I knew you would love this performance, I think this and her cover of Wicked Game from the same show are masterpieces.

This video uses scenes from Luc Besson's "Joan of Arc". The song for the video is original, written just for Diana's performance. In fact this is the first professional video with the participation of Diana.

[@osovagabundo1]

Her voice is so full, rich, multi-deminsional in a sense. After listening a lot other voices seem flat and monochromatic. Igor Kutoya has helped her and im sure will mentor her for all the best as she grows into her life and career. She is a vocal treasure. Contraltos are unheard of across the board.

Wanted to explain a little about the song, but see that it's already has been done 😊. Just want to add that Diana put this folk song on a new level. This folk wedding song has many versions. 30 of them was collected and saved for the history by Russian poet Alexander Pushkin (1799 - 1837).

В самых первых реакциях постоянно сравнивали голос Дианы с Шер, Шакирой.. Сейчас люди поняли, что голос Дианы единственный, неповторимый! Он богат и разнообразен, как Мать Природа! In the very first reactions, Diana's voice was constantly compared to cher, Shakira.. Now people have realized that Diana's voice is unique! It is rich and diverse, like Mother Nature!

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

Can it be, that the little river is her tears? It sounds like mother and father just died, the house is full with guests, maybe for the funeral... and she is grieving? And her girlfriends can not comfort her, no smiles, just tears, little rivers?.... can that be?

Tribal indeed. Diana descends from the Nivkhi, an ancient "Paleosiberian" tribe. Their language is unrelated to any other language in the world. I like to say that her singing is so shamanic she could call down the old gods with her voice. If you liked the yodel sound, you will love her "Jodel Time" a lively, sassy performance that will make you want to get up out of your chair and dance the polka. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHzHp5SNqMlsZ7M

By Your Voice or Your Voice. Small stage venue. You mentioned looking up the history of the song. Original sounds nothing like this. This is all Diana. About history, research hers. Was placed in an orphanage at 3 after being starved, beaten , left abandoned by birth mother (small caps..) with a broken collorbone in the freezing cold, oh, did I mention her birth mother tried to drown her in a bathtub. Lady from orphanage adopted her. You like the tribal feel to her songs, to a degree they are all like that. What she went through explaines a lot of that. Check out It's a Mans World, believe she was 14. Plus she yodals @ has made it a part of her signiture sound. Good example: HUMAN. She is so young, we have the rest of our lives to watch her grow. Enjoy

From rumyn KSF. " Diana sings an old Russian ritual song, the song of the orphan bride.There is no one to bless her, so the bride goes to the river, which according to ancient beliefs was considered the border between the world of the living and the dead.There she calls to the spirit of her departed mother and the river asks her in her mother's voice why she is so sad..The bride replies that the house is full of guests,she is getting married and there is no one to bless her.and the river silently blesses it.. approximately this translation of the meaning of this song..The song is very complex, both in terms of vocal technique and in terms of artistic presentation..Diana sings it and using the techniques of folk singing on Russian dialects and modern vocal techniques,including yodel.

I totally agree with you about the James Bond part. She is that epic. Given the current events, it doesn't affect my view of pure art. Even though James Bond was a pure American and British propaganda piece, he is more of a cultural icon now. Diana's voice would be perfect for a JB movie.
