The Lyrics
Imagine that Ivan Rebroff, masterful interpreter of Russian songs, sang the classic melody, using the lyrics for Van Morrison's 1967 hit "Brown-Eyed Girl".
OCHI CHORNYE (BROWN-EYED GIRL)
Where did we go? Down in the hollow
Days when rains came, playing a new game.
Laugh and running so, skip and jumping so.
In the morning glow, our hearts thumping so.
You, my brown-eyed girl; you, my brown-eyed girl,
I'm remembering when we used to sing,
Gde stradan'ya nyet, gde vrazhdy zapryet,
Sha la la la la, la la te da.
What did happen to Tuesday and so slow
Down old mine with trans-istor radio?
Laughing in sunlight, while we'd slip and slide
Hid by rainbow's wall, along waterfall.
Hard to find my way, saw you yesterday,
We're both on our own; my, how you have grown!
Memories cast back to that grassy track -
We were overcome near the stadium.
You, my brown-eyed girl; you, my brown-eyed girl,
Ochi chornye, ochi strasnye,
I'm remembering when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la, la la te da.
Where did we go? Down in the hollow
Days when rains came, playing a new game.
Laugh and running so, skip and jumping so.
In the morning glow, our hearts thumping so.
You, my brown-eyed girl; you, my brown-eyed girl,
I'm remembering when we used to sing,
Gde stradan'ya nyet, gde vrazhdy zapryet,
Sha la la la la, la la te da.
What did happen to Tuesday and so slow
Down old mine with trans-istor radio?
Laughing in sunlight, while we'd slip and slide
Hid by rainbow's wall, along waterfall.
Hard to find my way, saw you yesterday,
We're both on our own; my, how you have grown!
Memories cast back to that grassy track -
We were overcome near the stadium.
You, my brown-eyed girl; you, my brown-eyed girl,
Ochi chornye, ochi strasnye,
I'm remembering when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la, la la te da.

Your late Grandpa taught you the old songs well, and you are a bright boy, deserving of my 5's. My own grandchildren have followed me musically back to the '30s, and the oldest has brought her heritage to The Boston Conservatory for further study.
