Снег да снег
Ада Якушева Lyrics

The lyrics of Ада Якушева's song "Снег да снег" (Snow, yes snow) convey a sense of longing and struggle to reach a distant friend. The opening lines, "Снег да снег. Ни дорог, ни рек" (Snow, yes snow. No roads, no rivers), suggest a barren, desolate landscape with no clear paths or directions. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the emotional distance between the singer and their friend. The repetition of "Друг далек" (Friend far away) emphasizes the vastness of the distance between them, making it seem insurmountable. The lyrics express that even with a hundred roads, it is still impossible to reach this friend.

The following lines, "Шаг да шаг, год за годом так" (Step by step, year after year), convey a sense of the passage of time and the slow progress being made. The repetition of "Сто дорог" (Hundred roads) signifies numerous attempts to bridge the gap, but with no success. The phrase "Мне преодолеть невозможно просто" (For me, it's simply impossible to overcome) reveals the frustration and helplessness felt by the singer in their efforts to reach their distant friend.

The lyrics take on a more introspective tone in the last verse, with the lines "Путь мой крут и упрям, как прут" (My path is steep and stubborn, like a rod) suggesting that the singer's journey towards their friend is challenging and unyielding. The repetition of "Снег да снег" (Snow, yes snow) and "А дорогу мне невозможно нужно" (But I don't need the road) implies a growing acceptance that the actual physical journey may not be as important as the deep longing and need for their friend's presence.
