Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Óchi chórnyje, óchi zhgúchije
Óchi strásnyje i prikrásnyje
Kak ljubljú ja vas Kak bajúsj ya vas
Znatj uvídjil vas ja vdrobryi chas

Óchi chórnyje, óchi plámjinny
I manját anjí fstrány daljnyje
Gdje tsarjít ljubjófj, gdje tsarjít pakój
Gdje stradánja njét, gdje vrazhdý zaprjót

Nje fstrjichál by vas, nje stradál by tak
Ya by prózhyl zhyznj ulybájasja
Vy zgúbjilji minjá, óchi chórnyje
Unjisljí na vjek majó schástje

Óchi chórnyje, óchi zhgúchije
Óchi strásnyje i prikrásnyje




Kak ljubljú ja vas! Kak bajúsj ya vas
Znatj uvídjil vas ja vdrobryi chas

Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie
Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas
Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryi chas
Ochi chyornye, ochi plamenny
I manyat oni v strany dal'nye
Gde tsarit lyubov', gde tsarit pokoi
Gde stradan'ya nyet, gde vrazhdy zapryet
Ochi chyornye, ochi zhguchie
Ochi strastnye i prekrasnye
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas
Znat' uvidel vas ya ne v dobryi chas

|:Очи чёрные, Очи жгучие,
очи страстные, и прекрасные!
Как люблю я вас, как боюсь я вас!
Знать увидел вас я не в добрый час.:|

Очи чёрные, Очи пламенны
И мaнят они в страны дальные,
Где царит любовь, где царит покой,
Где страданья нет, где вражды запрет.

Не встречал бы вас, не страдал бы так,
Я бы прожил жизнь улыбаючись,
Вы сгубили меня очи чёрные
Унесли на век моё счастие.

Очи чёрные, Очи жгучие,
очи страстные, и прекрасные!
Как люблю я вас, как боюсь я вас!
Знать увидел вас я не в добрый час.

parole Les Yeux Noirs - Elisabeth Anaïs lyrics
paroles officielles ♪ Les Yeux Noirs ♪
Dans tes grands yeux noirs
Je me suis perdu
J'attends un regard
Le coeur suspendu
Je t'aime tellement fort
Toi qui me fais si peur
Est ce un mauvais sort
Ou la mauvaise heure
Et autour de nous
Chantent les tziganes
Tout le monde s'en fout
S'enivre au champagne
Dans tes beaux yeux noirs
Je sombre, mon amour
Et mon désespoir
A leur chant est sourd
Je perds la raison
A chercher tes bras
Brûlant de passion
Viens, embrasse moi
De tes grands yeux noirs,
L'étrange lumière
A nimbé le soir
De tous les mystères
C'est toi que je veux
Je sais que j'ai tort
Je suis malheureux
De t'aimer si fort
Tes yeux noirs de feu
Je ne peux rien y faire
M'entraînent malgré eux
Dans ce doux enfer
Je suis fou de toi
Ma belle aux yeux noirs
Même si je ne sais pas
Où va notre histoire
C'est pour ma passion
Les yeux noirs que j'ai
Fait cette chanson
Otchi Tchernye

She was ours. She was ''White Russian'' . We were Communists. She lived in Belgrade (Serbia).We loved her very much. That old ''weird'' Russian lady. Who said ''Russian songs are always full of joy, even when they are sad''. Sleep in peace Olga.

I just love this simplicity and good taste in treatment of so otherwise overused melody. Everything fits together just right. Nothing overdone, nothing over-showed off - all in total balance. It really works very well. I truly enjoyed it to my biggest surprise!
