“Song of the Volga Boatmen“ HQ - Leonid Kharitonov & The Red Army Choir (1965)
Leonid Kharitonov and the Alexandrov Red Army Choir perform the Russian folk song “Ej Uhnem!“ (“The Song of the Volga Boatmen“ or “Yo, Heave Ho!“), with English subtitles.
This rare and historic program was filmed on location in the former Soviet Union. The brilliant ensemble consisted of about 200 entertainers including a choir and choreographic troupe, who traveled the front lines, entertaining Soviet troops by performing more than 1500 concerts during World War II. This musical film brings to life the essence of Russian music and performance with spectacular singing, dancing and acrobatics.
The shooting of this clip was made in Kurkino, near Moscow by a German operator, former operator of Hitler in 1965.

LYRICS:
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Now we fell the stout birch tree,
Now we pull hard: one, two, three.
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Now we fell the stout birch tree
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
On the bank we walk along,
To the sun we sing our song.
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
Ay-da, da, ay-da!
To the sun we sing our song.
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again
Yo, heave ho! Yo, heave ho!
One more time, once again

Песню солнышку, поем!
Эй, ухнем, эй, ухнем!
