Dark is the Night (Тёмная ночь, lit. Dark Night) is a famous Soviet song associated with the Great Patriotic War. It was originally performed by Mark Bernes in the 1943 war film Two Soldiers.
Dark Is the Night has been described as "a gentle lyrical song imbued with a feeling of homesickness and expressing devotion to one's beloved" which helped "reveal the personal side of army life, indiscernable in the roar of warfare". It contrasted sharply with the prevalent type of war song, which was either a field marching song or a civil patriotic one.
Dark is the Night song became a symbol of the war years for millions of Soviet people.
Composed: Nikita Bogoslovsky (1913-2004)
Lyrics: Vladimir Agatov (specially for the film Two Soldiers.)
