тоже from-long-ago

ты ли девушка моя
с длинною косой
на лужайке у пруда
в полдень золотой
грелась, ножки подобрав
и глядела вглубь
где у илистого дна
словно круглый рубь
молодой карась сверкал
лунной чушуей
и играя забавлял
тихий разум твой

of course she knows:)
it's one of my favourite song and "dlinnoju" meens "long" and "Dorogoj dlinnoju" - long way. it is.. their (http://www.bednayanastya.ru/files/71832/gc_20_b.jpg) song. very popular russian song :)

and ... well, it's not about sex%)

The English version and its singer (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pat.richmonds/gallery.htm) were very popular too, for a little while in the 60s.

Do they have the same tune?

in fact it's a jewish song. or am i wrong

Well you're the one who should know, what with stealing bits of it for "your" poem!

The lyrics to the English version were by Gene Raskin, but it seems it is acknowledged as a Russian traditional...

well, i was making fun of you, it's not jewish. but if call stealing one word (long) stealing, then call me a stealer by all means. you see, i was telling about a long braid in my poem, not a long ROAD!

Ah, not Jewish.

And apologies for hi-jacking the thread. It possibly has got a bit off-topic...

wait, i don't know - it might be jewish just as well

че такое jewish?

еврейский!

ого-го!... не знала)
пасиб)))

wrong. it is a classic gypsy song

yeah, i know them and once saw the video) she is great too))

sorry, does "tune" mean music(i'm not very strong in english...)? if so, we have the same tune:)

Yes, tune means music, or near enough. Which means it's definately the same song then.

he) thank you and sorry for stupid question)))

Not a stupid question. It's me who's totally lost in the Russian words! I've enjoyed the discussion though.

Either did I:)

it was hard to remember anything after 2 weeks winter holidays)))
