Sztoj pa moru
ŁYSA GóRA Lyrics

The song "Sztoj pa moru" by ŁYSA GóRA is a traditional Belarusian folk song that speaks about the beauty and mystery of the sea. The song opens with an enigmatic question, "What's out there in the sea?" which sets the tone for the following verses. The phrase is repeated three times, emphasizing the unknown nature of the sea and the anticipation of what lies beyond the horizon. The sea is described as "blue," which likens it to a symbol of the unknown and the infinite.

The song then moves on to describe a flock of white swans that swam in the sea along with their young ones. The beautiful imagery of this verse evokes the tranquility and purity of the natural world. However, the serenity is disrupted when a white eagle appears and breaks the peace by attacking the swans. The eagle is described as "crazy white," emphasizing its destructive and chaotic nature.

In the final verses, the singer addresses their lover, expressing that they did not want to do anything for them earlier, but now they are willing to do anything. The lover is described using various adjectives such as "beautiful," "red," and "curly-haired," which alludes to the romantic nature of the song. The ending of the song culminates with the repetition of the lover's name, "Yvanyushka," which not only brings a sense of closure to the narrative but also adds to the song's musicality and rhythm.
