СКАТЕРТЬ БЕЛАЯ (ОЧИ ЧЕРНЫЕ, DARK EYES) Григорий МАРТЫНЕНКО. RUSSIAN

LIVE! Enjoy a hussar version of the great Russian song DARK EYES based on tzigane melody. A jocular dialogue between a drunken hussar and a gipsy girl “THE WHITE TABLECLOTH“. The white tablecloth is all wet with wine, All hussars are in a wakeless sleep. Just one hussar is awake drinking champagne And proposing new toasts to Gipsy’s health: - Beauty, come to me, I am fond of you, Beauty, kiss me now, it won’t poison you! Kiss me tender first, then I kiss you back And we’ll kiss each other heartily! - NO, I won’t! NO, I can’t! You are so tall, I can’t reach you! - YES, you CAN! YES, you WILL! I will bend, so you CAN!
