Воркутинский Снег - НА АНГЛИЙСКОМ - ОРКЕСТР

слова: Юрий Алмазов / На Новый Лад Художественный перевод на английский язык. Эпичное исполнения хора с оркестром. Особенно круто звучит на хороших колонках. ________________________________________________________________ Vorkuta is a northern city, founded in the 1930s as a center of the coal industry. It is known for its harsh climate, long polar nights, and difficult living conditions. The name of the city comes from the Nenets word "Vorkuta," which can be translated as "bear’s corner" or "place of the bear." During the years, Vorkuta was also known as place of one of the largest corrective labor colony. Today, for many, Vorkuta is a symbol of a harsh fate, human resilience, and life in conditions where hardship forges the spirit. A corrective labor colony (ITK) is a facility where inmates don’t just serve their sentence but engage in work, have the opportunity to learn a profession, and strive to change their lives. These colonies focus not only on isolation but also on rehabilitation, skill development, and preparation for reintegration into society. ________________________________________________________________ “Vorkuta Snow” – a song for the ones who’ve been through it all. This is a story in song — about a man who’s seen a lot, walked through years of cold, silence, and loss... but never let it break him. His hands are weathered, his temples touched by snow, but his heart is still open. "Vorkuta Snow" isn’t about history or places on a map. It’s about life — the kind that tests you, shapes you, and leaves you standing in the quiet, remembering those who walked beside you. It’s for the brothers who never made it home. For the ones who still carry the weight, but keep walking. For anyone who's tried to find peace when the past won’t let go. Let the snow fall. Let the silence speak. Some stories are too heavy for words — but they live in the song. ________________________________________________________________ A haunting, soulful journey through memory, loss, and resilience. "Vorkuta Snow" tells the story of a man who’s lived through cold seasons of life — not just weather, but hardship, silence, and survival. It’s about the weight of the past, the scars we carry, and the brothers we never forget. From the frozen nights of a distant place to the lonely lights of a city that never quite feels like home, this song is a tribute to those who’ve walked through fire and frost — and still kept their humanity. ________________________________________________________________ The lyrics are inspired by a song-poem by Yuriy Almazov (Yuriy Anatolyevich Nadyktov, 1969–2019) — a Russian music producer, composer, and heartfelt voice of the Russian chanson tradition.
