She lingers by a lakeside observing a pike catching his prey. She herself idly trails a net through the water and catches a goldfish, but throws it back, lamenting that her sweetheart cannot be caught so easily. Fair Tresses. A love-sick young man this time I He sings of the beauty of his beloved. Along the Peterskaya Road. A young man journeying along the Peterskaya Road sings nonsense rhymes about his girl, to the accompanying jingle of the bells on the harnesses of the horses. The Sea has Spread Wide and Afar. This new version of the traditional song could equally have been entitled 'The Stoker’s Lament', as it tells of a ship's stoker kept hard at work by his unsympathetic captain even though he is seriously ill. As he feels death approaching, he gazes across the sea thinking of the home he'll never see again and of his mother awaiting his return in vain. Song of Peace. This most beautiful song is a powerful plea to us all for peace, imploring us to take good care of the world. Young Heroes. The Young Heroes are the Cossacks. They would charge into battle whooping, and whistling, and singing war songs such as this. Boulevard Records are made in England and pressed by Allied Records Ltd., 326 Kensal Road, London, W.io.
