    Default Lyrics to Anastasia Prihodko's 'Bepa'

    Anastasia Prihodko also performed for Russia's Eurovision 2009 entry. I really liked it, so I youtubed her! And found another great song from her and the title of the video is just her name in the russian alphabet (so i gather) and 'Bepa'.
    It sounds like she's saying Veeraaaaa!!!

    If we're allowed links, here it is;

    If not feel free to give me a spanking.

    It sounds kind of dark, but it's gorgeous, slightly melancholic and is just lovely.
    It'd be great to know exactly what she was singing though, so english translations would be great, too!

    Thanks for any help in advance

    К северу, к северу, к северу едет поезд ночной
    The night-train is heading to the north, to the north, to the north
    Из глубинки в Москву.
    From a remote place to Moscow
    Спит проводник, спят хмельные соседи,
    The conductor is sleeping and so are the drunk passengers
    Я все уснуть не могу.
    I still can't fall asleep
    Тускло горят фонари у дороги,
    The lights are dim
    Где-то вдали завывает гудок.
    Somewhere in the distance there is a horn
    Вот уже стало светать понемногу,
    It's dawning a little bit
    Пасмурный будет денек.
    The day will be cloudy

    Вера, ты одна осталась у меня… (2 times)
    Faith, you are the only thing I have

    Будто бы счастье растет на чужбине,
    As if happiness only grows in a foreign land
    Словно какой-то диковинный плод.
    As if it is some type of a wild plant
    Ищет его вдалеке и поныне
    Looking for it here and there
    Разный бедовый народ.
    different people*

    Вера, ты одна осталась у меня… (2 раза)

    Еду, в душе уповая на Бога,
    ??
    Поезд ползет, как по тонкому льду.
    The train is crawling like [it is] on thin ice
    Если с ума не сойду по дороге,
    If I won't go crazy on this train ride
    Завтра же в церковь пойду.
    I will go to church tomorrow

    Вера…
    Faith
    Вера…

    *The line and the previous line are switched, so switch them and you'll understand the meaning.

    I thought the Eurovision song was how do I say this absolute and total c**p . The song is decent but the performance was terrible. Well I am glad someone liked it

    Also Вера - is both a name and a word (faith) just like it is in english. Not very common though
