slave-girls Explanation: At least that's how they translate the song title on Chaliapin's facebook (sic!!!): the song of the slave-girls (невольницы) at the beginning ... Translation to English is left as an exercise for the readers! ... www.facebook.com/learn.russian/posts/482980014584 I don't see why the play title should be translated differently. |
