Frank Sinatra - Dark Eyes

From the film "It Happened in Brooklyn" from 1947, Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Durante sing the Russian traditional song "Dark Eyes."
(I don't know why it's crunchy at the beginning!)

[@Katya_Lastochka]

Even Frank was like "Kaka blue?" Naw that can't be right." I gotta say, his voice is perfect for those old Soviet melodies.

[@comradecracker447]

Reminds me of the real songs that are originally Russian when sung. Sounds so smooth.

Kak ebu ya was.😬👍

[@branislavpribojsky5271]

Oci chernye is not soviet song, it is a gypsy song from russia

[@Ethan-Breedlover]

"Kaka" in russian means poop or 💩.

[@klaudetaristo9102]

My heart bleeds listening to this song in 2023!!!

Frank's doin good in Russian!

[@dmitrysinyaev994]

Frank dosn't good in Russian, but he sings anyway good

[@zsoltpeter2858]

Horrible

[@Ethan-Breedlover]

I'm russian. I actually can't understand what is he singing.

Bellissima canzione

[@Geckoo1337]

Боже мой! Я поклонник Фрэнка Синатры, а никогда не видел это видео. Он пёл на русском языке. Sometimes, you think that you know everything about someone, and finally you understand that you are wrong. Sans doute la meilleure démonstration d'un réchauffement des relations au temps de la guerre froide. Superbe ++

[@user-fx6ke4co3p]

Я его вообще обожаю) То чувство, когда мне полушуточное исполнение Чёрных очей больше нравится у Синатры с Паваротти, нежели у наших даже самых сильных певцов

[@anoushstepanyan2140]

What's the name of the song he sings at the end? Not the Ochi chornye.

[@metisellada2632]

Vous semblez parler le français aussi bien que le russe, pourriez-vous m’écrire les paroles de cette version en russe si possible? Merci d’avance!

[@henryseidel5469]

That was at a time when the two great nations were still friends due to their common aims in wartime. With Frank Sinatra even singing in Russian. Never heard him do so. It is high time that Russians and Americans get together again. To the benefit of the whole mankind.

[@JamesMyronM]

@@ferdinandovegni8500 This is a Russian song wrote in the middle of 19th century

[@ferdinandovegni8500]

Read the thread. The poem is originally Russian, the music was composed in the XX Century

[@JamesMyronM]

@@ferdinandovegni8500 And the music too was composed in 19th century. Please, stop writing nonsense. The melody now associated with the lyrics is substantially identical to "Valse homage", Op. 21 for piano, by Florian Hermann [de] and published in 1879.[2] In The Book of World-famous Music: Classical, Popular, and Folk (2000) James Fuld reports that a Soviet musicologist told him that the song is not "a Russian traditional song but a cabaret song", published in 1884 and reprinted as number 131 in a songbook by A. Gutheil in 1897, where it is described as a "Gypsy romance based on the melody of Florian Hermann's Valse Hommage Just listen this on youtube Hermanns Vals and stop to frustrate yourself and others

[@mr.question2391]

Is he singing the words correctly?

[@al3xsur288]

@@mr.question2391 A little, he sings with a very strong accent. But I can understand it in principle.

[@mr.question2391]

@@al3xsur288 Thank you.

[@metisellada2632]

Could you please write the sentence or so he sings after this?

[@user-fl3xm6ni7t]

​@@metisellada2632 Эх, распошёл, тройка борзая моя! The song is called "Распошел", it's a gypsy romance. He sang one sentence, and instead of "хорошая моя" he sang "борзая моя". It sounds wonderful, I would listen to some other Russian romance performed by him.

[@ferdinandovegni8500]

This music was composed by Adalgiso Ferraris, in 1910 in Russia, based on a Russian poem and a XIX century valse theme.

[@qwite9309]

ferdinando vegni where May I find the song

[@ferdinandovegni8500]

Of course, there are a few references here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adalgiso_Ferraris

[@qwite9309]

ferdinando vegni thank you so much but do you know if that last part of frank sitting was in a version of his song or did frank just add it himself. Because I don’t recognize it at all out of all the versions I heard

[@ferdinandovegni8500]

That seems a medley of Russian/Italian sort of ballads... nothing to do with Dark Eyes

[@qwite9309]

ferdinando vegni oh i see I think Frank was a Italian so that would explain it but I was hoping to find the original one

Ochi chyornye, ochi plamenny I monyat oni v strany dal'nye, Gde tsarit lyubov', gde tsarit pokoy, Gde stradan'ya net, gde vrazhdy zapret. Pripev: Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie, Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye, Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas, Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryy chas. Ne vstrechal by vas, ne stradal by tak, Ya by prozhil zhizn' ulybayuchis', Vy sgubili menya ochi chernye Unesli na vek moyo schast'e. Pripev: Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie, Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye, Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas, Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryy chas.

Ф. И. Шаляпин Очи черные, очи страстные! Очи жгучие и прекрасные! Как люблю я вас! Как боюсь я вас! Знать увидел вас я в недобрый час! Очи чёрные, жгуче пламенны! И манят они в страны дальние, Где царит любовь, где царит покой, Где страданья нет, где вражде запрет! Не встречал бы вас, не страдал бы так, Я прожил бы жизнь улыбаючись. Вы сгубили меня, очи чёрные, Унесли навек моё счастие. Очи чёрные, очи жгучие, Очи страстные и прекрасные. Вы сгубили меня, очи страстные, Унесли навек моё счастие… Очи чёрные, очи жгучие, Очи страстные и прекрасные! Как люблю я вас! Как боюсь я вас! Знать, увидел вас я не в добрый час! Счастья нет без вас, все отдать я рад За один лишь ваш, за волшебный взгляд! И бледнеет свет солнечных лучей Пред сиянием дорогих очей. Ох, недаром вы глубины темней! Вижу траур в вас по душе моей, Вижу пламя в вас я победное: Сожжено на нём сердце бедное. Но не грустен я, не печален я, Утешительна мне судьба моя: Всё, что лучшего в жизни Бог дал нам, В жертву отдал я огневым глазам! Скатерть белая залита вином, Все гусары спят непробудным сном, Лишь один не спит, пьет шампанское, За контральто пьет все цыганское. Не грусти, гусар, наливай вино, Посмотри в стакан, там уж нет его. Иль ты пьян уже без шампанского, А от пения от цыганского. По обычаю петербургскому, По обычаю чисто русскому Мы не можем жить без шампанского И без пения без цыганского. Подойди ко мне, ты мне нравишься. Поцелуй меня - не отравишься. Сперва ты меня, потом я тебя, Потом вместе мы расцелуемся.
