She was born in Barnaul southern Siberia to a German father who had been a prisoner of war there and a Russian mother.
Solovey Соловей The Nightingale is a Russian-language art song by Russian composer Alexander Alyabyev 1787-1851 based on the poem Russkaya pesnya by Anton Delvig.
It was composed while Alyabyev was in prison in 1826.
The song is a showpiece for coloratura sopranos and is the only work of Alyabyev to become part of the standard performance repertory. My nightingale nightingale Vociferous nightingale! Where are you where are you flying Where will you sing all night? My nightingale nightingale Vociferous nightingale! Someone poor like me The night will listen to you Without closing your eyes Drowning in tears? My nightingale nightingale Vociferous nightingale! Visit all countries In villages and cities: Cant find you anywhere Hotter than me. My nightingale nightingale Vociferous nightingale! Соловей мой соловей Голосистый соловей! Ты куда куда летишь Где всю ночку пропоешь? Соловей мой соловей Голосистый соловей! Кто-то бедная как я Ночь прослушает тебя Не смыкаючи очей Утопаючи в слезах? Соловей мой соловей Голосистый соловей! Побывай во всех странах В деревнях и городах: Не найти тебе нигде Горемычнее меня. Соловей мой соловей Голосистый соловей!
