song with imperatives

[John Langran]

1.
<Ne uezzhay, ty, moy golubchik,
Pechalno zhit mne bez tebya
Day ha proschan'e obeschanie,
Chto ne zabudesh ty menya.
Skazhi ty mne, skazhi ty mne,
Chto lyubish menya, chto lyubish menya, ...
etc>
I have a recording of this by Maria Tkhorzhevskaya and Dan Weiner in my 
Ruslan 2 book, and have the singers' permission to use it for teaching 
purposes, so can let you have this as an mp3 file, if you wish.

2.
The Rozhdestvensky poem "Otdat' tebe lyubov?" plays with imperatives and 
future perfectives in a big way
