While looking for something special on traveling by sea for my Russian-language students, I came across this gem - Sergej Lemeshovs performance (circa the 1930s) of Lermontovs Белеет парус одинокий // A lonely sail is flashing white. Enjoy! Here is an English translation for non-Russian speakers: A lonely sail is flashing white Amidst the blue mist of the sea!... What does it seek in foreign lands? What did it leave behind at home?.. Waves heave, wind whistles, The mast, it bends and creaks... Alas, it seeks not happiness Nor happiness does it escape! Below, a current azure bright, Above, a golden ray of sun... Rebellious, it seeks out a storm As if in storms it could find peace! youtube/watch?v=mec-_rTl2Ek
