Anybody fluent in Russian?

[Deefstes]

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me here. I got this Russian Song some years ago and would love to know a few things:

1. What is the name of the song and who sings it?
2. Where can I find the lyrics for the song?
3. Where can I find a translation for the lyrics? This is the least important of the three questions.

I don't even know where to start Googling as I have no search terms to start from. Any help please?

Unable to download the song.
"This file is not available because your are either not logged-in or do not have the owner's permission to view it"

Oh bother. See if this link works. Failing that, any idea where I can put an mp3 for others to download?

 

[UrK]

It's that case of "failing that".
Just put it on RapidShare.com or DepositFiles.com.

Upload-MP3 says that user Deefstes has no shared files. Maybe you should just shared it?

Aha, the folder was set as "private". It should be visible now. Not to worry though, UrK was able to answer my questions already. Thanks anyway.

LOL. It seems the song is quite well known. I can tell you, very few South Africans will ever have heard the song. But yes, it's a great song, I like it too. You wouldn't have a roman transliteration of the lyrics by any chance?

I've found some but it's very difficult to reproduce russian sounds with roman letters.

Bespechnyjj angel

eetot paren byl iz tekh, kto prosto ljubit zhit
ljubit prazdniki i gromkijj smekh, pyl dorog i vetra svist
on byl vezde i vsegda svoim
vljubljal v sebja celyjj svet
i gnal svojj bajjk, a ne limuzin
takikh druzejj bolshe net

i v gostinojj pri svechakh on tanceval, kak bog
no zato menjalsja na glazakh, tolko vspomnit shum dorog
vse, chto imel, tut zhe tratil
i za porog sdelav shag
mojj drug daval komandu bratjam
vverkh podnimaja kulak

ty - letjashhijj vdal, vdal angel
ty - letjashhijj vdal, vdal angel
ty odin tolko drug, drug na vse vremena
ne mnogo takikh sredi nas
ty - letjashhijj vdal bespechnyjj angel

pod gitarnyjj zhestkijj rok, kotoryjj tak ljubil
na kharlee on domchat nas mog do nebes i zvezd ljubykh
no on ischez i nikto ne znal
kuda teper mchit ego bajjk
odin brodjaga nam skazal
chto on otpravilsja v rajj

ty - letjashhijj vdal, vdal angel
ty - letjashhijj vdal, vdal angel
no ad stal sojuznikom raja v tu noch
protiv tebja odnogo
ty - letjashhijj vdal bespechnyjj angel
