I liked Cristina's suggestion and it would fit well as an upcoming challenge.
I know very little of Russian music, I haven't researched it the way I did for most of the European countries. I don't usually take part on 6WC or any motivational/quantitative challenges because I can already commit myself to a daily routine without the need of temporal motivation. What I take from the challenges is their socialization aspect. That's why I haven't joined any 6WC's so far. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Challenge accepted!
I knew that under all the Russian dance/techno music which dominates the pop scene, there had to be some good folk bands. And trawling through Last.fm, I think I found one. A little gem of a song. Белая Гвардия - Питер (Youtube) After 3 or 4 listens, the transcription I had was pretty bad (input this into Google Translate if you want a quick laugh!): питер питер, ты с толка знаешь, ты много видю и всё что я хочу сказать тебя это толка слобо я снобо покупаю билет на поезд чут-чут ривнуе и много на строивше продалжает меня давагзала вечная москба неба неба, нагда восем другой е неба марузду воздухом дишеп невский скорзи ма а я иду и всем убаюз, я шу ублака поднымаюс у меня киваю понымаешь ляпы невскан дома где та, где та, длубиму парка гриве цвета нем кидождик до сточний играю трубел нирнуба ехав два рил колодсы по старий крижы гуляешь солце и панет кофе и все талени зовут к себя здраствуи город проидуба плоша две дол собора а у тебя есть кресий аврора, и много других караблей а у меня ли шадно гитара, немного пара и семавара в рукы не синитце которий сница глинжу равлей моя живу на другой планеты там ала цвета и вечний вечер и быдте растроие ния струлны гулять пра вода а и нагда там беваеть плохо, и дала цвета ешё так долго тогда е всё оставляю как есть возврашаю сюда поете старие моставие, они всё помнет а нижевые и каждий камион и в садны па прежны мувиерит вы чти а я сто юбны замедны теню, в палтичкый летха падзюзный сеню в которий рафзи мирая смотрю как разводит мосты Before you point out all my mistakes, the corrected version is coming next... 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

So, after a couple of hours, 25 more listens, GT and a fine-toothed comb, I was able to get the lyrics 90% correct. I learned a lot (mostly about spelling)! In the end I googled the official lyrics so as to have it 100% right.
белая гвардия - питер Питер питер, ты столько знаешь, ты много видел И всё, что я хочу сказать тебе это только слова Я снова покупаю билет на поезд Чуть-чуть ревнуя и немного на расстроившись Провожает меня до вокзала, ночная Москва Небо небо, над тобой совсем другое небо Морозным воздухом дышит Невский, скоро зима А я иду и всем улыбаюсь, я выше облака поднимаюсь И мне кивают снимая шляпы на Невском дома Где-то, где-то, в любимых парках укрылось лето И мелкий дождик на водосточной играет трубе Нырнуло эхо в дворы колодцы По старой крыше, гулять и солнце И пахнет кофе и все кофейни зовут к себе Здравствуй город, пройду по площади вдоль собора А у тебя есть крейсер Аврора, и много других кораблей А у меня лишь одна гитара, немного пара из самовара В руке синица, которой снится клин журавлей А я живу на другой планете Там мало света и вечный ветер И будто расстроенные струны гулять провода А иногда там бывает плохо, и до рассвета ещё так долго Тогда я всё оставляю как есть и возвращаю сюда О, эти старые мостовые, они всё помнят, они живые И каждый камeнний всадник по-прежнему верить в мечты А я стою незаметной тенью, в пальтишке ветхом под звёздной сенью В который раз замирая смотрю, как разводить мосты And now my English translation, which is maybe not perfectly accurate but sounds nice: Peter, Peter, you know so much, you've seen it all And everything I want to say to you is just words. One more time, I buy my ticket A little jealous and a little upset See me to the station, Moscow by night. Sky, sky, above you is quite another sky A breath of frosty air on Nevsky; winter is coming. I smile at them all, as I rise above the clouds And they nod and tip their hats to me in Nevsky houses. Somewhere, somewhere, they've taken refuge in a favourite summer park And the drizzle plays like trumpets on the guttering. The echoes dive down courtyard wells Under the old roof, walking and sunshine The smell of coffee, and all the coffee shops named after it. Hello, city, I pass through the square by the cathedral You have the cruiser Aurora, and many other ships. I have my one guitar, a little steam from a samovar And in one hand a tiny bird, who dreams of a flock of cranes. But I live on another planet With little light, and constant wind. And if detuned chords shuffle along these wires And sometimes it gets bad, and it's still long before dawn Then, I leave it all as it is, and return here. Oh, these old bridges: they remember everything, they're alive And every stony horseman still believes in dreams. I'm an insignificant shadow in a shabby overcoat, under a canopy of stars Once again, I watch breathlessly as they raise those bridges. Thanks to this challenge I have a new page of Russian vocab, and a new song I absolutely adore! Patiently awaiting your feedback or thoughts on the translation...

Some full stops can be replaced by commas or semicolons. There are a lot soft signs at the end of 3d person verbs. Is it Southern or Old Russian influence? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

No, they aren't. Зачем means what for, it is about the purpose, while почему is why, it's about the cause. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

@Марк - Thanks
@Via Diva - Yes I've checked on google first, but I wanted to be sure because there were some posts confusing things here and there. 1 person has voted this message useful |
