Russian Folk Song: Dark Eyes Очи чёрные

Here I present Dark Eyes, probably the most famous Russian Romance. The song is sung here by the Moscow Patriarchal Choir directed by Ariadna Rybakova. This is one of my favourite Russian songs. Dark eyes, burning eyes Passionate and splendid eyes How I love you, How I fear you Verily, I saw you at a sinister hour Dark eyes, flaming eyes They implore me into faraway lands Where love reigns, where peace reigns Where there is no suffering, where war is forbidden
