Subject: RE: Stenka Razin & The Kilworth Hills From: Dave the Gnome Date: 10 Jul 08 - 08:46 AM Tell you what. After reading the translation, I think the ladies who complain that their blokes spend too much time in the pub with their mates should count themselves lucky:-) Only kidding girls - Honest! There is a slight difference in tune between Stenka Rasin and Carnival - But not so much as most people would notice. D. |

Subject: RE: Stenka Razin & The Kilworth Hills From: Artful Codger Date: 09 Jul 08 - 02:50 AM Briefly comparing the Russian and English, the translation appears fairly close in meaning, considering poetic constraints. |

Subject: Stenka Razin & The Kilworth Hills From: Jack Campin Date: 08 Jul 08 - 04:12 PM Some time ago I asked a question here based on something I heard in an interview on Radio Scotland's "Pipeline" programme with G.S. MacLennan's brother. He mentioned that GS's first composed tune, "The Kilworth Hills", was based on a Russian song that he'd heard when Russian warships had been visiting Leith around 1899, and that the same song was the basis of the schmaltzy pop song "When the Carnival is Over". I wanted to know what the Russian song was. I can't find the thread I started then, but a remark in thread 7307 gave me the answer: Stenka Razin. As it happened I had it on paper.
Has somebody got a translation of the words? |
