a.k.a.

Korobeiniki, a russian folk song

***

Korobeiniki translates as "The Peddlers."

Korobeiniki was based on a poem by Nikolay Nekrasov (1821-1878) about a peddler who sold books, haberdashery, and other tchotchkes. One day, the peddler meets a dark-eyed maiden to whom he tries to sell his tchotchkes, kisses her, then runs away with her to a rye field.

She ends up taking a turquoise ring from him.

Here are the lyrics as provided by Wikipedia:

Oy, my crate is so full,

I've got chintz and brocade.
Take pity, oh sweety,
Of this lad's shoulder

I will, I will go out into the tall rye,
I will wait there till the night comes,
Once I see the dark-eyed lass,
I will showcase all my goods.

I paid no small price myself,
So don't bargain or be stingy,
Bring your scarlet lips to me,
Sit closer to this fine lad.

The foggy night has already come,
The daring lad is awaiting,
Hark, it's her! The desired one has come,
The merchant is selling his goods.

Katya is haggling with care,
She is afraid to pay too much,
A lad is kissing his lass,
Asking her to raise the price.

Only the deep night knows,
What they agreed upon.
Straighten up now, oh tall rye,
And keep their secret scrupulously!

Oy, my crate is so light,
The strap is no longer cutting into my shoulders!
And all my lass took
Was one turquoise ring.

Korobeiniki was arranged by Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka (b. 1957) for Nintendo's Tetris.

Domo arigato, Mister Tanaka.

The NY Times says Glockabelle makes "busy metallic pling"

[6.14.08] Technique in action: The glockenspiel has a new heyday in indie-rock, following a lineage from Phil Spector through the E Street Band through U2’s first album to the Arcade Fire. But I haven’t seen one played the way the Fiery Furnaces did: not with mallets, but with thimbles on fingertips. That can make for more simultaneous notes, more busy metallic pling.

[Aspen, Colorado] Only one week into the tour and I realized my thimbles had taken on a form of their own. This resulted in a frantic quest for replacement thimbles at all the drugstores in Aspen. Unfortunately, all I could find were zinc thimbles which are not as comfortable/malleable as the aluminum ones I usually use. Oh well. But I did find a jump rope.
