- An English-subbed version of Vysotsky's classic 'Wolf Hunt' (a late rendition caught on camera in France - 3rd verse skipped). Text:
With every sinew strained I hurtle,
But today like yesterday,
I'm cornered, chased, encircled,
Kept cheerfully at bay.
From the firs the shotguns blast,
In the shadows huntsmen lurk,
On the snow wolves tumble past,
Live targets - easy work.
The hunt for wolves is on! The hunt is on!
For the predators, the mothers and their brood,
Hounds bark themselves sick, beaters yell and run,
And the snow is red with flags and blood.
The hunter stacks the odds against us,
Fights unfairly, his hand won't shake,
With flags and ropes they've fenced us,
They'll hit squarely, and no mistake!
A wolf can't break with tradition,
Blind suckling cubs learn all is lost,
If you break mother's prohibition,
Ropes and flags cannot be crossed!
The hunt for wolves is on! The hunt is on!
For the predators, the mothers and their brood.
Hounds bark themselves sick, beaters yell and run,
And the snow is red with flags and blood.
Our legs and jaws are quick,
Answer, leader, why oppressed,
Do we stumble poisoned and sick,
Without putting the fence to the test?
A wolf's fate cannot be questioned;
And now my time is done.
The hunter to whom I'm destined
Smiled as he raised his gun.
The hunt for wolves is on! The hunt is on!
For the predators, the mothers and their brood.
Hounds bark themselves sick, beaters yell and run,
And the snow is red with flags and blood.
I burst through the flags in desperation,
The thirst for life is stronger still!
Behind I listened with elation
To yelling, cheated of their kill.
With every sinew strained I hurtle,
But today's NOT yesterday,
I was cornered, chased, encircled,
But the hunter lost his prey!
The hunt for wolves is on! The hunt is on!
For the predators, the mothers and their brood.
Hounds bark themselves sick, beaters yell and run,
And the snow is red with flags and blood.

The intensity of this man's voice and lyrics are monumental.. A true singer from the russian heart!
Nobody can touch Vladimir Vysotsky. One of the best artists of the century!
I beg to differ. This little angel Valkyrie kills this song
czcams.com/video/krtcFSBGBRA/video.html. Watch this one
Let's remember him on January 25 - 2023 is his 85th birthday. He was a great man!
First song I ever hear of this guy. Brought me to tears. wtf.
i love this man. His guitar method and his lryics hits me right in the gut.. He is the bomb!!
I found him because of Diana. He is a master and legend..O my Gosh..I forgot to breathe for almost 30 seconds at the end session. My salute to Legend.
Great man of the Earth.
Holy crap, this is amazing.
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Much love for this song, and this wonderful artist
🕺🕺🕺
We Russians also appreciate Brazillian artists who spoke treuth to power! Visotsky is like Chico Buarque. Russians were not allowed to be as direct, like "Construcao." But this is close!
I ain’t no Russian I’m American and love American music but damn this Russian song pumps me up.
Passionate! Beautiful! Such a great sadness he didn't live longer to give us more songs ! Can't understand how he's not better known in a broad public audience. To me, he's in the same range of Jacques Brel, Jean Ferrat, Claude Nougaro, Edith Piaf, Hugues Aufray, Sergio Endrigo, and so many other singer-poets...Thank you Vladimir Vysotsky for your awesome songs
+Caprice Royal problem is I don't understand a word of what he is singing.
That's because you didn't watch Nu pogodi AKA Vlk i zajic :D Than, you would understand atleast one word :)
That's because he worked behind the "Iron Curtain," and besides, he is more of a poet than a singer- the power of his songs is in the lyrics. It is not easy to translate poetry correctly without losing much of its impact; though his emotion, I think, helps convey a lot of the meaning. He was a great poet, performer and an actor, I agree. Our whole country was in love with him! I remember his songs being taped and re-taped through friends and acquaintances (of my parents). All his "fame" was just a "word of mouth," no PR at all, on the contrary, he was mostly "forbidden." Whatever rare TV or radio appearances were treasured and passed from person to person. Those were such strange times... He was hardly ever shown in mass media and yet, the whole country knew him; and there were others who were shown all the time and nobody cared :)))
@Acchrostichon:
I know only a few words of Russian but I "feel" his words through his voice and his music. That the real power of music and songs :-) Moreover, there are translations of many of his songs in the web, although not always perfect but enough to give us the meaning of his songs
Yes, I was wondering about it, because there are some songs and operas that I don't understand but still feel the emotional impact of them. I think it is the music and the emotion behind the voice that "communicate" the right feeling. That's interesting :)
The greatest
Вечная память...
Светлая Память ГЕНИЮ и ПОЭТУ В.С. Высоцкому! ХХ века... через 3 дня ЕМУ бы исполнилось....(((
Thank You
Nobody ever sang like him.
yeah had a strong voice
Jacek Kaczmarski and Gintrowski were close, they were similar to him, should check him out
"The snow is read with flags and blood." Again and again.
Adoro as músicas de Vysotski, mesmo não entendendo a letra. É uma música muito visceral. Me arrepia. Lindo, maravilhoso.
Listen to his songs about the war .. The text of any of his songs is on the Internet.
Абсолютно замечательно. Я слышал это по-шведски, так что я знаю, о чем это. Но я не могу забыть этот голос.
Absolutely wonderful. I've heard it in Swedish,
so I know what it's about. But I can't forget that voice.
The G.O.A.T
Самое большое за все время
Voi Jeesus, On mahtava, mikä tunne, tätä ei kukaan tuntein paremmin esittää.
well this is badass.
A cultural giant.
His voice timber resembles Johnny Hallyday..Fantastic singer..
I thought more like Tom Waits…
Genius!
Nobody in my friends gets him I can't make them
Pal, even in Russia not many get it nowadays.
it happens. His songs are about life in its cosmic sense. They have several levels. This song is about hunting wolves - not only the desire for freedom and democracy, but also the freedom of man from all shackles, including the shackles of his human nature. (sorry for bad english).
Спасибо
very strong
Bravo,Genij!
Wow.
Рвусь из сил, и из всех сухожилий,
Но сегодня опять, как вчера,
Обложили меня, обложили,
Гонят весело на номера.
Из-за ели хлопочут двустволки,
Там охотники прячутся в тень.
На снегу кувыркаются волки,
Превратившись в живую мишень.
Идет охота на волков, идет охота!
На серых хищников - матерых и щенков.
Кричат загонщики, и лают псы до рвоты.
Кровь на снегу и пятна красные флажков.
Не на равных играют с волками
Егеря, но не дрогнет рука!
Оградив нам свободу флажками,
Бьют уверенно, наверняка.
Волк не может нарушить традиций.
Видно, в детстве, слепые щенки,
Мы, волчата, сосали волчицу
И всосали - "Нельзя за флажки!"
Идет охота на волков, идет охота!
На серых хищников - матерых и щенков.
Кричат загонщики, и лают псы до рвоты.
Кровь на снегу и пятна красные флажков.
Наши ноги и челюсти быстры.
Почему же - вожак, дай ответ -
Мы затравленно мчимся на выстрел
И не пробуем через запрет?
Волк не должен, не может иначе!
Вот кончается время мое.
Тот, которому я предназначен,
Улыбнулся и поднял ружье.
Идет охота на волков, идет охота!
На серых хищников - матерых и щенков.
Кричат загонщики, и лают псы до рвоты.
Кровь на снегу и пятна красные флажков.
Я из повиновения вышел
За флажки - жажда жизни сильней!
Только сзади я радостно слышал
Удивленные крики людей.
Рвусь из сил, из всех сухожилий,
Но сегодня - не так, как вчера!
Обложили меня, обложили,
Но остались ни с чем егеря!
Идет охота на волков, идет охота!
На серых хищников - матерых и щенков.
Кричат загонщики, и лают псы до рвоты.
Кровь на снегу и пятна красные флажков.

inveterates and the cubs !!! This is the right translation not THE MOTHERS AND THEIR BROOD !!
Note to all future translation correctors: look up 'rhyme' and 'rhythm' then get back to me...

我是从《我们年代的歌曲》中了解到他的《顶峰》，感觉国内网络上关于维索茨基的资料很少
Visockij Genij XX veka.
:) translation is not really correct when it is slang, матёрых (mahtioreekh) means experienced, but not "mothers"))
honestly, translation is awful. I m russian but even i can see translation errors
@@specialforme6685 Да вовсе нет. приличный перевод. Not right. The translation is pretty good. Except the only word "mother" instead of "experienced"
@@onofre5581 переводить "матерей" вместо" матерых" - приличный перевод?
Извини, туплю, не прочитал английскую часть твоего коммента
@@onofre5581 The thing is that if you put "experienced" instead of "mother" musicality would suffer.
@@user-ij5sw7fd6x в данном случае смысл много важнее стихотворного размера
Mestari on mestari.
good
Folk punk before it was cool
you can NEVER translate lyrics! There will ALWAYS be a LOSS....
Huge loss!
You can always learn Russian

Vysotsky is always excellent.
Wasn't he called "Russia's answer to Bob Dylan?"
Seems like I read that somewhere.
Except nobody gives a damn about Bob Dylan anymore, but Vysotsky is a cultural icon like Pushkin.

Or perhaps you thought that inane attempts at drool and emocons could thwart me. A galactic intellect is in pursuit.
Galactic intellect.I like it.Keep on your thinkinkg

I hear that Vysotsky was Jewish, sending love to Russia from a Russian Jew in Israel.
He was not
His father was Jewish but his mother was not
