Description:

This song is called "Dark Eyes" it has nothing to do with the Bob Dylan song by the same title (sorry). There have been a lot of versions and transcriptions of the song. Originally it was a song mourning love, it was later turned into more of an up beat song by removing a lot of the more sinister verses. This is the ORIGINAL gypsy version of the song. I translated it over to english, playing around a bit with the translation to make the song flow better. I finish the last verse of the song (same as the first) in the original Russian. To my knowledge there isn't an english version of the song that's been recorded?

Ochi cherniye, ochi strastnie ochi grustnie i prekrastnye... Lovely gypsy song. I can play it on the piano. Have you heard "doroga dlinnaya"? It would sound really nicely in your performance.... Great Job.

thank you so much, and everyone, for their kind words. I've loved this song even since I saw it in a Nikita Mikhalkov movie
