Трансильвания
Агата Кристи Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Трансильвания" by Агата Кристи tell a story of a burial and the evil spirits that lurk beneath the fresh earth. The first verse describes an open door "на свежей земле" and the activity of demons working underground. The line "бесы варят позолоту" suggests that the demons are creating something valuable from the remains of the deceased, perhaps a nod to the belief in alchemy during the time the song was written. The reference to Aladdin, who is "всемогущ и нелюдим" (all-powerful and inhuman), further emphasizes the supernatural elements of the tale. The chorus features a farewell to the departed, with the repeated words "до свидания, милый" (goodbye, dear).

The second verse continues the macabre theme of the song, describing a night that is "отличная ночь для смерти и зла" (a great night for death and evil) and the stars that "улыбаются во сне" (smile in sleep). The line "человеку на Луне" (to the man on the Moon) adds a surreal element, suggesting a possible connection between the earthly burial and the mystical realm of the cosmos. The chorus is repeated, bidding the deceased goodbye once again.

The final verse returns to the burial site, where the mourners are now hammering nails into the coffin to ensure that "из-под земли не лез" (nothing crawls out from under the ground). The line "трижды плюну на могилу" (spitting three times on the grave) is a traditional Russian folk superstition meant to ward off evil spirits. The chorus is repeated for the final time, calling an end to the macabre tale.
