#WhenWeWereAtWar
The song "Kogda my byli na voine" (When we were at war) is a setting by Viktor Stolyarov of the poem by David Samoilov "Song of the Hussar", included in his collection of poems "Voices over the Hills" (1981-1985).
Songwriter and composer V. Stolyarov read this poem in the magazine "Ogonyok" in the mid-80s. "Simple and uncomplicated, but at the same time sincere and timeless words, as they say, 'hooked' the audience. Immediately there was an intonation, from which an uncomplicated melody grew ..." So the poetic lines became a song, which very soon gained fame as an old Cossack song. The song was embraced by the people and began its independent life.
In the last decade many singing groups have adopted the song "When we were at war", which is not surprising. Simple words of a simple warrior. The eternal themes of peace and war, love and death.
📌 Lyrics:
When we were at war,
When we were at war,
There everyone used to think about their
Girlfriends or about their wives.
And I could certainly think,
And I could certainly think,
As I looked at my pipe,
As I looked in the blue smoke.
About how you once lied to me,
About how you once lied to me,
That your maiden heart
Was given to another.
But I didn't think about anything,
But I didn't think about anything,
I just smoked my pipe
With bitter Turkish tobacco.
When we'll be at war,
When we'll be at war,
I'll ride towards the bullets
On my raven-black horse.
I'm only waiting for the right bullet,
I'm only waiting for a sure bullet,
To quench my sorrow
And to put an end to our enmity.
When we were at war
When we were at war
There everyone used to think about their
Girlfriends or about their wives.
But it looks like death is not for me
But it looks like death is not for me
And again, my raven-black horse
Carries me away from the fire.

Welcome to our channel!
The Yale Russian Chorus is the oldest singing group in the New World dedicated to the music of Russia and nearby countries. The YRC was founded 1953 at the height of the Cold War. Founders: Denis Mickiewicz and George Litton.
Singers join while students at Yale, and many stay active throughout their lives. Every year or so we hold a major concert in which students and alumni sing together. Many alumni also join the students on tours to Russia.
Without a doubt, each of us had our own motivation to join the Russian Chorus. But we offer you a quote from one of the members of our choir, which unites us to some extent and explains a little the meaning of the chorus in our lives: "Singing the music of the YRC in the style we sang it, was an antidote to the intellectualism that got many of us into Yale in the first place, but that could be so restrictive to the heart and spirit".
The singers are not Russians, or emigrants from Russia, but are students and former students who share a passion for the music and a belief in the power of music to build connections between people of different countries.
Thanks to YouTube, we are pleased to share these recordings with online audiences around the world who share our passion for this music.
