This multi-language version has "soul" and appeals to the shared sense of good in our multi-language world. It is so beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes. WONDERFUL!
Krásny preklad...otec mi túto pieseň spievaval, keď som bol maličký, vždy som si myslel, že je to ukrajinská ľudová, ďakujem za rozšírenie obzorov, ste super !
Pesnička pochádza zrejme z Ruska, ale z aškenázskeho prostredia (pôvodne je v jidiš). Do ostatných jazykov vrátane ruštiny (tak som sa ju učil ja v škole ešte za komančov) sa dostala prekladmi.

Ide o voľný preklad Ľubomíra Feldeka, ktorý je založený na ruskej verzii ľudovej piesne: Što to rástet bez koreňa? Što to plánet bez plameňa? Što to igrájet struny nemaja? Što to pláčet sľozy neznaja? Kámeň rastet bez koreňa (v origináli bez dažďa - ohne zu regen) Ľubov plánet bez plameňa. Véter igrájet struny nemaja. Srdce pláčet sľozy neznaja.
It is yiddish (or jiddish), a language spoken by the most jewish people in europe. Much words nearly the german language, different like german and netherlands...
I know the translation of the second part (in Yiddish) but I don't know if the first part is just a translation of the second one or if the words change in Russian. Would you like a trandlation of the Yiddish part anyways? :)
Luke Snowmaker Oh, thanks for telling me! I just assumed from some of the comments here and there that it was Russian, I didn't actually know what language it was. XD It has a beautiful sound, anyway. :)
+John Adams It's not in Russian, it's Slovak translation of the song (see the name of the band, Pressburg is an older name for Bratislava, capital of Slovakia). If you're still interested I can rewrite the text from hearing and translate it for you.
