Владимир Высоцкий - Баллада о любви
This is the last song I am publishing from the movie "Баллада о доблестном рыцаре Айвенго". As I mentioned before this is one of my favorite song, one of the best love lyrics ever. The arrangement is a little bit from the original, but it does not make it less worth. Maybe it is how it was supposed to sound - more romantic, but you will never mistaken the voice of a genius. Enjoy it!
