USSR to the world — Soviet songs covered
Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2008 10:09 am
I've heard it quite a few times, "Soviet/Russian music/songs is/are stolen from the west". Here's a couple of examples of Soviet songs borrowed and adopted by the artists from other countries.
Пусть всегда будет солнце (Let there always be the sun), USSR. An anti-war song, the refrain goes, "let there always be the sun, let there always be the sky, let there always be Mommy, let there always be me".
Gabrielle — Hootenanny singers, Sweden. Hear anything familiar?
Now on to more rocking stuff. Звезда по имени Солнце (A star named sun) — Kino.
Surprisingly enough, A star called sun — Brazzaville. The lyrics are much different from the original, though.
Enjoy.
