Эй, ухнем!


Vesna Vulović, a Serbian flight attendant, died on ... December 23rd. She's been a remarkable entry in the Guinness book of records. In 1972, a Yugoslav aircraft exploded 10 kilometers above a Czechoslovak village miles from East Germany –... Imagine that. An explosion followed by a fall from 10 kilometers. Vesna Vulović survived it because of her fortunate location within the aircraft. She wasn't even shocked and didn't develop any phobia from flying. 46 long years of life were ahead of her.

It was to be 48 hours after Vesna's natural death that the day arrived when the music died for 64 members of the Alexandrov choir,  crashing in a military aircraft near Sotchi. May they rest in peace:






Эй, ухнем!
Эй, ухнем!
Ещё разик, ещё да раз!
Эй, ухнем!
Эй, ухнем!
Ещё разик, ещё да раз!

Разовьём мы берёзу,
Разовьём мы кудряву!
Ай-да, да ай-да,
Aй-да, да ай-да,
Разовьём мы кудряву.

Мы по бережку идём,
Песню солнышку поём.
Ай-да, да ай-да,
Aй-да, да ай-да,
Песню солнышку поём.

Эй, эй, тяни канат сильней!
Песню солнышку поём.
Эй, ухнем!
Эй, ухнем!
Ещё разик, ещё да раз!

Эх ты, Волга, мать-река,
Широка и глубока,
Ай-да, да ай-да,
Aй-да, да ай-да,
Волга, Волга, мать-река

Эй, ухнем!
Эй, ухнем!
Ещё разик, ещё да раз!
Эй, ухнем!
Эй, ухнем!


Lasst uns den Birkenknüppel biegen,[Anm 1]
den Knüppel der lockigen Birke biegen![Anm 1]
Aj-da, da aj-da!
Aj-da, da aj-da!
den Knüppel der lockigen Birke biegen!

Wir gehen am Ufer entlang.
Wir singen der Sonne unser Lied.
Aj-da, da aj-da!
Aj-da, da aj-da!
Wir singen der Sonne unser Lied.

Ej, Ej, zieh das Seil fester!
Wir singen der Sonne unser Lied.
Ej, hau ruck!
Ej, hau ruck!
Noch ein bisschen, noch einmal!

Ach du, Wolga, Mutterstrom,
tief und breit.
Aj-da, da aj-da!
Aj-da, da aj-da!
Wolga, Wolga, Mutterstrom.

Ej, hau ruck!
Ej, hau ruck!
Noch ein bisschen, noch einmal!
Ej, hau ruck!
Ej, hau ruck! 
 
Yo, heave ho!
Yo, heave ho!
Once more, once again, still once more
Yo, heave ho!
Yo, heave ho!
Once more, once again, still once more
Now we fell the stout birch tree,
Now we pull hard: one, two, three.
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Now we pull hard: one, two, three.
Now we pull hard: one, two, three.
Yo, heave ho!
Yo, heave ho!
Once more, once again, still once more
As we walk along the shore,
To the sun we sing our song.
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
To the sun we sing our song.
Hey, hey, let's heave a-long the way
to the sun we sing our song
Yo, heave ho!
Yo, heave ho!
Once more, once again, still once more
Oh, you, Volga, mother river,
Mighty stream so deep and wide.
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Volga, Volga, mother river.
Yo, heave ho!
Yo, heave ho!
Once more, once again, still once more
Yo, heave ho!
Yo, heave ho!
