Burn, Burn My Star

Гори, гори, моя звезда

Burn, Burn My Star English translation of a Russian romance from the 19th century. There is also a movie by the same name and I translated the part where the song is sung. There's some dialog before the song that gives context, skip to 1:30 if you just want the song. This song combines the hope and despair that often makes up the more noble version of the Russian outlook on life. I will also add a standalone longer version (not from the movie) at some point.

Play the video with subtitles ON.

The tone is unstranslatable, so it’s crucial that you connect the correct part of the song to its particular meaning.
