We used to sing Kalinka at school, but I remember the words being something like [it was 35 years ago!!]

Karlinka, Karlinka My pride
Pure and white [ something "bright" ? ] like the
new coming bride ...

The other song we used to sing was the "Steppes" song??

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! See down the road, love - look along the road we've travelled!

Great songs both of them .. obviously what's missing in schools today - not enough community singing!
