Russian Empire, 1900
Donate & Support:
This song by Sergej Alyakrinskij is about the legendary Russian commander of the second half of the 19th century - Mikhail Dmitrijevich Skobelev. The composition is based on soldier’s songs about their beloved “White General“ and was created in his honour. This song is considered to be very rare and much less known than the Cossack song “Skobelev the General“, which we will also publish on our channel one day. Performed by the famous “Valaam“ male choir/
Portrayed by Infantry General Mikhail Skobelev (1843—1882), to which this song is dedicated, the hero of the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878 and the Turkestani colonial campaigns. The national hero of both Russia and Bulgaria, he received the nickname of “White General“ from his soldiers (the Turks gave him the similar nickname “Beyaz Paşa“) for his notable custom of fighting in a snow-white tunic. Another nickname given to the great commander by his enemies was Kanlı Gözler, or “The Bloody Eyes“, which meant the horror that he inspired with his decisive actions to every enemy on the battlefield.
LYRICS:
Поднялась Россiя, поднялся народъ
Всей могучей силой бить турецкiй сбродъ.
Царь-Освободитель армiю послалъ,
Былъ ей предводитель Бѣлый Генералъ.
Нашъ непобѣдимый
Скобелевъ родимый,
Нашъ народный,
Нашъ Бѣлый Генералъ!
Турокъ злой и дикiй грудью напиралъ,
Но не спалъ нашъ дивный Бѣлый Генералъ!
Онъ перекрестился и повёлъ насъ в бой,
Турокъ весь разбился, потерялъ свой строй!
Нашъ непобѣдимый
Скобелевъ родимый,
Нашъ народный,
Нашъ Бѣлый Генералъ!
Смерть по стану рыщетъ, ядра къ намъ летятъ,
Жутко пули свищутъ и бойцовъ косятъ,
Всѣхъ страшилъ нашъ Бѣлый Генералъ собой,
Самъ же не боялся рати никакой!
Нашъ непобѣдимый
Скобелевъ родимый,
Нашъ народный,
Нашъ Бѣлый Генералъ!
Полководецъ славный какъ орёлъ леталъ,
Впереди всѣхъ, храбрый, войско ободрялъ.
Отъ него укрылись турки всѣ за валъ,
Но герой народный всѣхъ ихъ разметалъ!
Нашъ непобѣдимый
Скобелевъ родимый,
Нашъ народный,
Нашъ Бѣлый Генералъ!
Предъ Крестомъ склонилась гордая Луна,
И теперь покорно свѣтитъ намъ она.
Скобелевъ безсмертный турокъ покорилъ,
Славою завѣтной Русь всю озарилъ!
Нашъ непобѣдимый
Скобелевъ родимый,
Нашъ народный,
Нашъ Бѣлый Генералъ!
