Магазины
Буерак Lyrics

The lyrics to Буерак's song Магазины describe a picture of sadness and longing for a better life. The singer wants to drink wine but can only afford to drink buratino, a reference to a Russian soda. The stores are too expensive, but at least they have enough to buy rope and soap. The singer dreams of wearing a nice shirt and a fancy silk coat but is forced to wear a coarse shirt and a diving suit. They feel lonely without money, having rented two apartments that no one visits, and even their parents pass by without noticing them.

The song seems to reflect on the economic struggle that many people face in Russia, where the average salary is low, and the cost of living is high. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and sadness at the reality of their situation. Despite their desires, they are forced to settle for less than they want, and their aspirations feel unattainable. The use of humor in the reference to buratino soda adds to the sense of irony in the lyrics, highlighting the absurdity of their predicament.
