Adelaide Harliono sings Mikhail Glinka ‘The Lark’ (piano – George Harliono)
This is a video from a small charity concert last week. We were raising money to restore the roof of a local church 😊 Its been a while since I posted a video of my sister singing, so I thought I would put this up.
The song is written by the Russian composer Mikhail Glinka. The lyrics are in Russian and its from a set of songs called “Farewell to Saint Petersburg”.
You’ll probably recognise the melody of the song from a few of my other videos 😜
Enjoy!
Lyrics in English
The Lark
Out in the field where the lark it flies,
Over the earth where my heart it lies,
Oh how it sings when the west winds blow,
Out in the field where no-one goes.
Oh how I’m cold will you let me in,
If you could hear me speak, where would I begin,
Time it is past now and I roam free,
Is it wrong to wish you still need me,
Is it wrong to wish you still need me.
Out in the field where the lark it sings,
There I was waiting for all love brings,
There I stood and there I fell,
Out in the field that I know well.
Oh how I’m cold will you let me in,
If you could hear me speak, where I would begin,
Time it is past now and I roam free,
Is it wrong to wish you still need me,
Is it wrong to wish you still need me.
Out in the field where the lark resides,
Here I’ll remain where my heart can hide,
Only the lark and the west winds know,
I’m in this field where no-one goes.
Oh how I’m cold will you let me in,
If you could hear me speak, where would I begin,
Time it is past now and I roam free,
Is it wrong to wish you still need me,
Is it wrong to wish you still need me.
