"The Blizzard" (or The Snow Storm) (Russian: Метель, Metyel) is the second of five short stories that constitute The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin by Aleksandr Pushkin, and was later made into a film by director Vladimir Basov. The film's soundtrack was written by Georgi Sviridov, who later modified the soundtrack into a musical suite of the same name.
The plot concerns the relationships of an aristocratic young woman named Marya Gavrilovna and the unusual coincidences that accompany them. The following is copied from the program notes by Ledbetter (see sources):
Georgy Sviridov's suite ("musical illustrations to Aleksandr Pushkin's story"), while mostly unknown in the Americas, is very popular in Russia. Based on the film score that he wrote for Basov's film, the movements of the suite are as follows:
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh...
Una intoxicación llena mi cuerpo mas y mas
Voy fuera de control viajando en espiral
Quiero encontré tu cuerpo entre las sombras y esperar
Que me eleves mas
Mucho mas
Y es que no quiero perderte
Entre la vida y la muerte
Entre el amor y la suerte
Gravitaremos por siempre si...
Senti tu aliento cerca
Y no me pude controlar
Abri la puerta y nunca supe regresar
Nos convertimos juntos en esferas de cristal
Y nos fuimos flotando hacia el mar
Y es que no quiero perderte
Entre la vida y la muerte
Entre el amor y la suerte
Gravitaremos por siempre si
Y es que no quiero perderte
Entre la vida y la muerte
Entre el amor y la suerte
Gravitaremos por siempre si...
Así si oh oh...
Oh oh
Oh oh...
Y es que no quiero perderte
Entre la vida y la muerte
Entre el amor y la suerte
Gravitaremos por siempre si...
Y es que no quiero perderte
Entre la vida y la muerte
Entre el amor y la suerte
Gravitaremos por siempre si...
Así si oh oh...
Oh oh...
Y es que no quiere perderte
Oh oh oh...
Entre el amor y la suerte
