In 1991 BI-2 moved to Israel and disbanded in 1993. Shura moved to Australia where he joined a darkwave band, Chiron. He invited Leva to join it in 1996. Chiron was an obscure band, featuring vocals by Michael Aliani. Some of the Chiron songs were re-recorded and re-released in 2006 as the album "Chiron" by BI-2, with Leva's vocals.
In 1998 Leva and Shura moved to Russia to conquer the rock scene. They participated in the soundtrack for the Брат 2 ("Brother II") movie by Alexey Balabanov, and soon became one of the most popular rock bands. In 2005 BI-2 together with Mихаил Карасев (Mikhail Karasev) (BI-2's lyrics writer and Shura's uncle) released the Нечётный Воин ("Odd Warrior") project, joined by many Russian rock and pop artists.

Весло
Би-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
И ветер северный тревожит
Как если манит за собой
Плыви домой
И может нам не по пути
Как острова в пустой квартире
Волна встречается с волной
Возьми весло еще не много
Нам станет просто и легко
И в эту длинную дорогу
Возьми весло
И пусть однажды берега
В одно мгновение сомкнутся
И станут руки навсегда
Как два весла
Теперь как небо над водой
Или вода под этим небом
Волна не встретится с волной
Плыви домой
Возьми весло еще не много
Нам станет просто и легко
И в эту длинную дорогу
Возьми весло
Возьми весло
Возьми весло
Возьми весло.
The song "Весло" by Би-2 speaks about the journey of life, using the analogy of waves on water and the need to persevere on this journey. The first verse speaks of the tumultuous nature of life, comparing it to waves meeting each other and the unease brought by north winds. The chorus encourages one to keep moving forward, no matter the circumstances, and to take up the oar to help navigate through life's challenges. The second verse describes the almost-miraculous moment when two shores meet, where two individuals can finally come together to form a partnership like two paddles working in tandem. The final verse sees a calmer, more peaceful state achieved, with the imagery of the sky above the water, and the idea that life's trials and tribulations will eventually come full circle, back to the starting point.
Overall, the song seems to be encouraging listeners to keep pushing themselves forward, in spite of the difficult times they may face, and to work towards finding a sense of peace and unity with someone else. The lyrics are rich in metaphorical language, painting vivid pictures of the natural world to express a range of emotions and human experiences.
