Is it true that the song “You know, we will have children” wrote Yanka Diaghilev?

For many years, a song begins on the Internet for many years that begins with the words “You know, we will have children”, which is attributed to Janka Diaghileva. We checked whether this attribution is true.

The song attributed to the Diaghilean Song under the names "Children", "We will have children" or "You know, we will have children" especially Popular in "VKontakte"Where it can be found in dozens playlists, and on YouTube, where one of her publications Sicked 929,000 views.

Yanka Diaghilev (real name-Yana Stanislavovna Diaghilev)-one of the brightest representatives of the Siberian rock anddegrand of the 1980s. She died in 1991 under unknown circumstances, when she was only 24 years old. By this time, she managed to record seven solo albums and take part in the recording of several albums of the Civil Defense group. After the death of Yanke, several more of her discs came out, and some of the songs were published for the first time. However, the songs with the words “you know, we will have children” there are no well -known Albums singers.

The earliest publication of this song with the attribution of Yanka, which “verified” was found on the network, was dated April 28, 2010. A video published on YouTube Signed "Rainbow and Yanka Diaghilev - we will have children." Moreover, among well -known groups with which Collaborated Yanka, a team with the name "Rainbow" is not. 

In August of the same year, a video with a song entitled "Yanka Diaghilev - our children" Appears And on another YouTube channel with the clarification of "not she sings, her only verses." All the preserved poems of the Yankees are published on sitededicated to her memory, but among them we did not find the text of this song. And one of the comments on the video, left at the same time, in 2010, reads: “This is not Yanka, this is a group of“ butterfly cameras ”.”

Indeed, in the earliest publications Songs on YouTube (January 20, 2010) is not mentioned. The authors indicate the group of “butterflies camera” and a link to its official page in ”VKontakte". There, the song “Children” is located even in two versions: with a regular arrangement and “Light children” for an acoustic guitar - it is this option on the network that attribute Janka. 

As indicated in the account "Butterfly cameras»On the Last.fm website, the group was founded in the Vladimir region in 2005, although its official birthday is considered December 20, 2008-the day of the first big performance at the Rock-ITOG-2008 festival. At the same time, as they say there, Elena Sviripa composed the song “Children”, the vocalist of the “cameras of butterflies” in 1999 and then recorded the acoustic version. In 2012, Sviripa moved from the Vladimir region to Kharkov and the group ceased to exist. 

Thus, the song “You know, we will have children” has nothing to do with Janka Diaghileva. It was written in 1999, eight years after the death of the Yankee. Her author is Elena Sviripa, who later became the vocalist of the “butterfly cameras” group and recorded a new version of the song with her.
