Eduard Khil - Ballad of a Soldier
Баллада о солдате

[@volkzayats8903]

Eduard was caught up in the fighting in Smolensk as a little boy in 1941 and he got separated from his mother during the panic of the evacuation. He went to a orphanage in Penza where many of the children there died from cold and malnutrition. However even though he was only seven years old, he not only managed to keep going in this Hell, but he also sang and performed to the wounded and dying soldiers at the nearby hospital.

[@trisblackshaw1640]

I used to laugh at the trolololo song but the man actually has a powerful voice. I feel a little bit bad about laughing at him 5 years later.

[@jennythiele8521]

I don't even understand one word but I like the tone of his voice. It's amazing

[@omnipop4936]

+Tris Blackshaw If it made you smile and laugh then it had the desired effect. Eduard adored the fact that it made people all over the world happy. Go watch the clip of him watching his own video - and other people's parodies of him. (Be sure to turn subtitles on (CC) so you can read what he's saying.)

[@Imabeatyouman]

Tris Blackshaw he finds it funny, the song is a comedy. This is serious Side note, found it funny... Rip Mr.Trololol

[@theunknowncommenter3444]

Yeah it was supposed to be a funny song. He even looks like he's laughing while singing it 🤣

[@autumnhomer9786]

Tris Blackshaw He trained as a classical opera singer. His voice was beautiful.

[@kiailol]

Eduard grew up during the second world war and experienced first hand some of the hardships when he was separated from his mother and had to stay at a children's home without enough food or proper supplies. Eduard sang to wounded soldiers at the hospital doing his part to cheer them up, he was a high-spirited fellow from the start, a shining star of Russia and the entire world!

[@nandus1989]

Look, he almost cries at the start of the song, I see tears in his eyes. He sung with a huge empathy.

[@puppycandy2]

@nandus1989 no wonder I got awkward in the first time I saw this🤣

[@einsam_aber_frei]

His eyes look tearful even in the trololol song. His eyes are sad.

I’m 42 and it’s 2024. I only wish I would’ve known about one of the greatest voices ever 42 years ago. He was hidden behind that iron curtain for to long, but I guarantee that if he was alive today he would see what kind of an impact his voice made to those who appreciate it. I’m a farmer out in California but I know great music when I hear it.

[@autumnhomer9786]

🌺I’ve just found out that this man trained as a classical opera singer. I know he was famous for the troll song but; his voice was amazing. R.I.P🌺

English lyrics of the song: "Through the field, along the river - Past the huts - Dressed in a simple common grey coat, Soldier walked… Soldier walked, breaching the barriers, Soldier walked, losing his dear friends Often it happened He walked without halt On and on he walked! He walked in the nights so stormy, Rain and hail With his battlefield companions Songs he sang… Soldier sang, choking down his tears, Soldier sang of Russian birch trees, Of darling’s brown eyes, Home of his parents - On the way he sang! As if forever to his shoulder Gun was glued Everywhere his bitter foemen Soldier fought Soldier fought them in Smolensk and Soldier fought in nameless places Bullets uncounted, Eyes ever sleepless, Soldier fought his foes! Through the field, along the river - Past the huts - Dressed in a simple common grey coat, Soldier walked… Soldier walked, his Homeland’s servant Soldier walked - in the name of life Saving his dear land, Rescuing the world, On and on he walked! Saving his dear land, Rescuing the world - On and on he walked!"

Translation of "Ballad of a Soldier" The soldier wearing the grey greatcoat walked in a field along a steep shore, the soldier walked without regard to any boundaries, he walked loosing his friends, oftentimes without rest, he walked forward. He walked during thunderous nights, in rain and hail, He sang songs with his fellow soldiers, He sang shedding tears, he sang about his home.
