Re: Russian Tango

[sophie solomon <sophiesolomon...>]

Sofia,
I really appreciate your help with all this... I don't suppose you have the 
words for utomlyennie sol'ntsem do you?  I've been trying to transcribe them 
from the title sequence to mikhalkov's movie - and although I have most of 
them, there are a few gaps, where the singer is not totally audible over the 
violin/accordion....especially the first line of the chorus.. which ends 
with the second line 'v eto vinovaty ty i ya'...
hope you can help!
thanks sophie
