about me

Hello again! This time, I am trying to write about myself, which is a difficult task in one's own language, let alone a foreign one! Hopefully I don't sound too scary in the following, although my grammar's probably scary enough. It's also sounding like a personal ad ... which is not exactly what I was going for, but I'm not sure if I can make it sound any differently.

Any help is appreciated. You guys have been amazing in the past!

Thank you all!

Song translation

Hello! I'm performing a Russian folk song (well, several) at a concert soon, and though I know the gist of one of the song's text, I need a more or less accurate translation for the program notes and have never been able to figure out one of the stanzas:

"Мальчик, да ты, мальчик молоденький. Эх, да разудалая головушка моя!"

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Request

Seeing as you're all such competent people; would anyone be able to correct a 300 words long essay (entitled Моя первая встреча с Москвой), and possibly a short analysis of a poem by tomorrow? I think e-mail would be the simplest way to get it done. I'm just a novice/intermediate level student of Russian, so they're not very complicated or long pieces.

Thank you.
