From: Sharon At a John McCutcheon concert, we sang (phonetically) the Russian words to: May there always be sunshine, May there always be blue skies, May there always be Mama, May there always be me. Then we sang it in English, then in sign language. I would love to teach it to my Kindergarten class.......I remember the English words and tune,,,,,,but could someone help me with the Russian words? Thank you so much ! |

They had hand signs to go along and sang "mamas" then "papas" then "families". That may in fact be the standard way. I still mist up thinking about it. |

02 Feb 98 - 07:41 PM (#20507) Subject: RE: Russisan song: From: Sharon Thanks, RE. I should have known to check Rise Up Singing. (I wish I knew the tune to the verses !) Susan, I hope the song has the same impact when we sing it at our Kindergarten graduation. !I must thank all the good folk here. No matter what my question, I have always found the answer here at Mudcat. Is it possible to find a music related question so obscure it would not be answered here? I doubt it. |

02 Feb 98 - 11:34 PM (#20518) Subject: RE: May There Always Be Sunshine From: RS Sharon, if you would like a copy of the music to the verse, I could send it to you in various ways. If you are a Mudcat Member, you could send me a "private message" with your e-mail address & preferably a fax number. The fax would be easiest for me to do since I've been faxing for a year & a half now ... the e-mail would save long distance charges, but I've just got my first scanner & don't exactly know how to use it yet! If you're not already a Mudcat member, you could join - it's free! - or you could post your e-mail address on this thread here, & I will reply in due course. BTW, Rise Up Singing does have "teaching tapes" with the music to all the songs in the book. But I have delayed buying these until they come out in CD form - it's _so_ much easier to locate songs & learn from a CD than from a tape! |

Sun up on high— That was the little boy's picture He drew for you Wrote for you, too Just to make clear what he drew. Chorus: May there always be sunshine, May there always be blue skies, May there always be mummy, May there always be me!

Hear what we say— War would make all of us losers Peace is our prize Millions of eyes Anxiously gaze at the skies. Chorus Down with all war! We want no more. People stand up for you children Sing everyone— Peace must be won, Dark clouds must not hide the sun.

03 Apr 01 - 06:29 PM (#432513) Subject: Beer, Wine, Vodka From: Haruo Thanks, Sorcha, for pointing me at this thread. I don't know why anybody else wanted it, but I was hoping to use it on my website (in Russian, Esperanto, English, and/or any combination); now thanks to RS maybe I'll put it on my Yiddish site, too. I learned it as a teenager in high school Russian, and have the first verse and refrain by heart (the second verse all I recall is it ends, or a line of it does, in "chelovek" [human being, formerly known as man]). So I'm also up for the Russian texts of the post-first verses. The first stanza, in transliterated Russian (I've learned my lesson about the impossibility of reliably making Cyrillic appear in the Mudcat), goes: Sohl-nyetch-nee kroog, nyeh-boh vo-kroog, Eh-toh ree-soo-nock mal-cheesh-kee. Nah-ree-soh-vall ohn nah leest-kyeh, Ee pod-pee-sall voo-gohl-kyeh: Followed by the chorus as given in earlier posts in this thread. In high school we usually sang the following words the second time through on the chorus: Poost vsyegg-dah bood-yet pee-vaw, Poost vsyegg-dah bood-yet vee-naw, Poost vsyegg-dah bood-yet vodka, Poost vsyegg-dah boo-doo yah! I.e. May there always be beer, wine, vodka, me. That was before I found out I was alcoholic, and got a sense of the implications of that fact. But I still sing it that way, a good ;-) 16 years after my last beer. Detracts a bit from the tear-jerking effect, I suppose, but oh well, that's how I sing it... Liland |

30 Mar 03 - 10:33 PM (#922204) Subject: RE: ADD: Russian song: May There Always Be Sunshin From: GUEST Here is the entire text in Russian. The spelling isn't quite phonetic, but I hope that you can figure it out. It was written by a Russian poet named Lev Oshanin. Solnechnyi krug, Nebo vokrug - Eto risunok mal'chishki. Narisoval on na listke I podpisal v ugolke: Pust' vsegda budet solnce, Pust' vsegda budet nebo, Pust' vsegda budet mama, Pust' vsegda budu ya. Milyi moi drug, Dobryi moi drug, Lyudyam tak hochetsya mira. I v tridcat' pyat' Serdce opyat' Ne ustaet povtoryat': Pust' vsegda budet solnce... Tishe, soldat, Slyshish', soldat,- Lyudi pugayutsya vzryvov. Tysyachi glaz V nebo glyadyat, Guby upryamo tverdyat: Pust' vsegda budet solnce... Protiv bedy, Protiv voiny Vstanem za nashih mal'chishek. Solnce - navek! Schast'e - navek!- Tak povelel chelovek. Pust' vsegda budet solnce, Pust' vsegda budet nebo, Pust' vsegda budet mama, Pust' vsegda budu ya. |

30 Jan 07 - 01:24 AM (#1952013) Subject: RE: ADD: Russian song: May There Always Be Sunshine From: robomatic I always thought that song to be the most saccharine bit of treacle ever committed to melody, in particular the way the obviously adult simulating the cyuuuuutest little girl voice sang it in the Russian version back in the 70's. I always wanted to take the little girl aside and say: "Honey honey, you'll be around a lot longer than Mama, and it'll sure seem like forever!"

31 May 07 - 08:43 AM (#2064817) Subject: RE: ADD: Russian song: May There Always Be Sunshine From: GUEST,Jyoti Iyer Hello. I've been singing this song since I was about six, and I just finished school last year, so in Summer Break from college, I decided come back to school, and teach some kids this. You know, pass on the knowledge. But I have only heard the Pete Seeger version (in concert). I would love to get either sheet music for the verses, or a Low-Fi recording. Right now I'm teaching them an improvised tune :). Not very easy. Hassles with timing and syncopation. So if anyone can send me SHEET MUSIC/RECORDING of this song, I would REALLY appreciate it. I'm at jyotiiyerlko@gmail.com (Please put SONG in the subject line) Thank you |

We want to sing the May There Always Be Sunshine song. We would like to alternate English verses with Russian choruses. Is there such a musical version around? If not, does anyone know where we could just get a recording of the music? |

02 Feb 08 - 06:35 PM (#2251921) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: May There Always Be Sunshine (Russian) From: Melissa Guest, It's an EASY tune..you'll be able to teach it after listening to the midi a couple times. When I decided to use it in my troop, I cut it down to just the chorus and changed it to "always be you and may there always be me". If you can't find enough information on this thread to make an alternating verse version, you might click the other threads listed at the top of this one to see if there's more info available there. There are also lots of other GS Appropriate songs in mudcat threads, which can be found by using the search box thingy. It was a GS thread that lured me to Mudcat.. |

02 Feb 08 - 06:53 PM (#2251932) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: May There Always Be Sunshine (Russian From: GUEST Do you know where I can get the music only so that we can sing along? We love the tune and don't think the girls will have a problem with it. We just need a recorded version to play as background as they will be singing in a large gymnasium. |

02 Feb 08 - 07:08 PM (#2251945) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: May There Always Be Sunshine (Russian) From: Melissa nope, no idea where to get a recording. Maybe somebody who does know will pop in to give you an answer. You might be able to find something on Amazon? I think if I was doing it, I'd ask someone musical to listen to the midi and see if they would be able to record a simple back-up for you to use. Melissa |
