Korobushka (Коробейники) ~ Pyatnitsky State Russian Folk Choir _______________________________________________________ "Korobeiniki" (Russian: Коробейники, English translation: Peddlers) is a nineteenth-century Russian folk song that tells of a meeting between a peddler and a girl, in which they haggle over the price of goods in a veiled metaphor for courtship.Outside Russia, "Korobeiniki" is widely known because of its appearance in Nintendo's 1989 version of Tetris and is often referred to as "The Tetris Song"... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korobeiniki) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by A. Shirokov, words by N. Nekrasov Transliteration: Oy polnym polna mоya korobushka Yest' i sitets i parcha. Pozhaley, dusha-zaznobushka, Molodetskogo plecha. Vyydu, vyydu v rozh' vysokuyu, Tam do nochki pogozhu, Kak zavizhu chernookuyu, Vse tovary razlozhu. Tseny sam platil nemalyye, Ne torguysya, ne skupis', Podstavlyay-ka gubki alyye, Blizhe k molodtsu sadis'. Vot uzh pala noch' tumannaya, Zhdyot udalyy molodets. Chu, idyot! -- prishla zhelannaya, Prodayot tovar kupets. Katya berezhno torguyetsya Vsyo boitsya peredat', Paren' s devitsey tseluyetsya, Prosit tseny nabavlyat'. Oy polnym polna mоya korobushka Yest' i sitets i parcha. Pozhaley, dusha-zaznobushka, Molodetskogo plecha. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (GB) The Peddlers Oh, my crate is so full, I've got chintz and brocade. Take pity, oh sweety, Of this lad's shoulder. I will, I will go out into the tall rye, I will wait there till the night comes, Once I see the dark-eyed lass, I will showcase all my goods. I paid no small price myself, So don't bargain or be stingy, Bring your scarlet lips to me, Sit closer to this fine lad. The foggy night has already come, The daring lad is awaiting, Hark, it's her! The desired one has come, The merchant is selling his goods. Katya is haggling with care, She is afraid to pay too much, A lad is kissing his lass, Asking her to raise the price. Oh, my crate is so full, I've got chintz and brocade. Take pity, oh sweety, Of this lad's shoulder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (RU) Кoробушка Ой полным полна моя кoробушка Есть и ситец, и парча. Пожалей, душа-зазнобушка, Молодецкого плеча. Выйду, выйду в рожь высокую, Там до ночки погожу, Как завижу черноокую, Все товары разложу. Цены сам платил немалые, Не торгуйся, не скупись, Подставляй-ка губки алые, Ближе к молодцу садись. Вот уж пала ночь туманная, Ждёт удалый молодец... Чу, идёт! -- пришла желанная, Продаёт товар купец. Катя бережно торгуется, Всё боится передать, Парень с де́вицей целуется, Просит цены набавлять. Ой полным полна моя кoробушка Есть и ситец, и парча. Пожалей, душа-зазнобушка, Молодецкого плеча. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
