Oy. So beautiful it hurts. A photo of Red Square, taken the evening of February 14,2005. This picture makes me want to sing “Moscow Nights” right now. …Even tho the flu-bronchial infection-bubonic plague I’ve got would make the sound of my singing pretty painful too. …Even tho “Moscow Nights” is really about hot summer Moscow nights. Who cares? This song demands to be sung.
Where are all my old Ivan Rebroff LPs when I need ‘em?
Come on everybody! You know the tune. Here’s the lyric:
ÃÂõ ÑÂûышýы ò ÑÂðôу ôðöõ шþрþхø,
Ã’ÑÂõ ÷ôõÑÂÑŒ ÷ðüõрûþ ôþ утрð,
ÕÑÂûø ñ ÷ýðûø òы, úðú üýõ ôþрþóø
ßþôüþÑÂúþòýыõ òõчõрð.
Okay, here’s all the words and a pretty good translation.
Now sing, you cynics!












Hi,
I just came across this lovely photograph, and I wondered if you could help me. I am trying to find an accompaniment for Moscow Nights (I’m scheduled to be singing it in a class I take). Any ideas? I went to the St Petersburg bookstore in NYC but the karaoke version I got is pretty bad.
Thanks if you can help at all,
Christopher Balchin
There seem to be quite a few instrumental versions available online…

Would that work for you? (I’d think it would at least be better than the bad karaoke version). Buena suerte (as we say in old country).
