TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
If the Volga mother
Would flow back,
If only life
Could start over.
If only the bottom of the sea
Сould be measured!
If only beautiful girls
Сould be trusted...
Oh, if only flowers
Could bloom in winter!
If only we could love
And never stop loving...
ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS:
Кабы Волга-матушка
Да вспять побежала,
Кабы можно было,
Жизнь начать сначала.
Кабы дно морское
Достать да измерить!
Кабы можно было
Красным девкам верить...
Ой кабы зимою,
Цветы расцветали.
Кабы мы любили,
Да не разлюбляли.

Came here for a question, stayed for the song. Wonderful singing as always from Leonid. Do you happen to have lyrics for the Russian rendition of the Armenian folk song Tsitsernak/The Swallow? It's currently one of my all-time favorites, and I've heard Belyaev sing it in your video of the Red Star Chorus concert, and Vasily Eliseev from Dianochka's video.

@@LHaritonov Oh no, not the Spanish folk song. Rather, the Armenian folk song, Tsitsernak. Well, the Russian rendition, anyway. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zomuqn6Nm6-LfpI
