RED ARMY IN WORLD WAR II - Polyushko Polye - Red Army Choir - 2/10

Polyushko-polye (Russian: По́люшко-по́ле; IPA: [ˈpolʲʉʂkə ˈpolʲɪ]) is a Soviet Russian-language song. Polye means "field" in Russian, "polyushko" is a diminutive/hypocoristic form for "polye". It is known as Meadowland or Meadowlands in English. The music was by Lev Knipper, with lyrics by Viktor Gusev in 1933. The song was part of the symphony with chorus (lyrics by Gusev) "A Poem about a Komsomol Soldier" (Поэма о бойце-комсомольце) composed in 1934. The original lyrics are sung from the perspective of a Red Army recruit, who proudly leaves his home to keep watch against his homeland's enemies. The song was covered many times by many artists in the Soviet Union, including a well-known rock version made from the "The Singing Guitars" (Поющие гитáры), released c. 1967. The song has been regularly performed and recorded by the Alexandrov Ensemble, and it is listed in the Alexandrov Ensemble discography. Outside Russia, several arrangements of the tune are known under the title The Cossack Patrol, particularly a version by Ivan Rebroff,[citation needed] and some under other titles including Meadowland, Cavalry of the Steppes and Gone with the Wind. In France, a French version called Plaine, ma plaine was made famous during the 1960' by the male choir Les Compagnons de la chanson, from lyrics written by the French actor Francis Blanche.[citation needed] Tanz Brüderchen by Hyperactive, an authorised rave remix of Rebroff's performance, is well known in some online communities for its inclusion in the Flash cartoon at rathergood.com. Origa, a Russian singer based in Japan, released her own version with altered lyrics in 1998. Polyushko Polye (English translation) Field, my field, my wide field, The heroes ride over the field, Hey, the heroes of the Red Army. The girls are crying, The girls are sorrowful today, Their sweethearts went away for a long time, Hey, their sweethearts went away to the army. You girls, cast a glance, cast a glance in our direction, Wave far down the road, Ey, the happy road. We only see We see a grey mist, The hate of the enemy behind the forest, Hey, the enemy's hate, like a mist. Hey, girls, look, We are ready to engage the enemy, Our horses are fleet-footed, Our tanks are fast-driving. Hey, while on the collective farms, The work is efficiently progressing, Today we are watchmen, Today we are keeping watch. Pólyushko-Pole [en ruso: Полюшко-Поле] es una canción de Rusia.
