Lived Alexander Herzevitch
In remembrance of shrill Russian poet Osip Mandelshtam (1891-1938)
AlRu, P4 & Casio-keyboard
I'm just Russian Man
Story behind the song
"It is not terrible to us
With dear music to die..."
Osip Mandelshtam have shot in 1938 in a GULAG. The place of dumping is not known...
Lyrics
(Osip Mandelshtam)
key to Russians verses
Lived Alexander Herzevitch,
The Jewish musician
He turned the Schubert,
As a pure brilliant
And to one's heart's content all day long,
He played by heart
One eternal sonata,
Which is studied in crunch.
What, Alexander Herzevitch,
Is it dark outdoors ?
Leave, Alexander Hearthtsevitch,
So what, all the same!
Let's there Italianlet
Fly after the Schubert
On narrow sleighlet,
While the snow crunches!
It is not terrible to us
With dear music to die
Though by the crow's fur-coat
On a hanger to hang
What, Alexander Herzevitch,
Is it dark outdoors ?
Leave, Alexander Hearthtsevitch,
So what, all the same!
Everything, Alexander Herzevitch,
Is spun for a long time
Leave, Alexander Scherzovitch,
So what, all the same!
What, Alexander Herzevitch,
Is it dark outdoors ?
Everything, Alexander Herzevitch
Is spun…
So what?..
