Favorite Cossack Ballad About Love and War, 'Not for Me - Ne Dlya Menya' (Video)

There's something dashing and soulful about Russian folk music, especially when it originates with the Cossacks, Russia's warriors of the steppe.

This is perhaps the most famous Cossack song, sung at dinners, concerts and campfires. It's a song about a love that is always just out of reach, a strange mix of longing and recklessness.

Listen to it. You won't regret it.
