Critics state that what he does has something in common with Tom Waits’ works. “Garik manages to evoke the very special atmosphere of the Soviet towns and cities’ outskirts. Each of his gigs is hardly possible to be called a regular one. He is not one of those who play regular gigs, he always gets two hundred percent out of what he has. He lives through every sound and note as if they have struck him for the first time.

Госпожа удача
Гарик Сукачёв Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ваше благородие, госпожа Удача
Для кого ты добрая, а кому иначе
Девять граммов в сердце, постой - не
Не везет мне в смерти, повезет в любви
Девять граммов в сердце, постой - не зови
Не везет мне в смерти, повезет в любви

Ваше благородие, госпожа Разлука

Мы с тобой друзья давно, вот ведь какая штука
Письмецо в конверте ты погоди - не рви
Эх, не везет мне в смерти, повезет в любви
Письмецо в конверте погоди - не рви
Не везет мне в смерти, повезет в любви

Ваше благородие, госпожа Чужбина
Жарко обнимала ты, да всё же не любила
В ласковые сети постой - не зови
Не везет мне в смерти, повезет в любви
В ласковые сети меня ты не зови
Эх, не везет мне в смерти, повезет в любви

Ваше благородие, госпожа Победа
Ты знай, что моя песенка до конца не спета!
Перестаньте, черти, клясться на крови
Не везет мне в смерти, повезет в любви

Перестаньте, черти, да клясться на крови
Эх, не везет мне в смерти, повезет в любви

Overall Meaning

The song Госпожа Удача, which translates to "Lady Luck," is a reflection on the fickleness and unpredictability of life, particularly in the realms of love and death. The song is addressed to four personifications of various forces that impact the singer's life: Lady Luck, Separation, Foreign Land, and Victory. In each verse, the singer acknowledges the power of these forces and their effects on his life, but he also asserts that his ultimate fate is unpredictable, and that Lady Luck may smile upon him even as the other forces conspire against him.

The first verse addresses Lady Luck, and the singer muses about how his fortunes may change from moment to moment. He suggests that Lady Luck may be kind to him in love, even if she is not kind to him in death. The second verse is addressed to Separation, and the singer describes the pain of being apart from someone who is dear to him. He suggests that he and Separation are old friends, but he also admits that he hopes Lady Luck will intervene and bring him the love he yearns for. The third verse is addressed to Foreign Land, and the singer suggests that it is a seductive and dangerous place, full of false promises and traps. He warns against being enticed by its charms, but he also acknowledges that Lady Luck may have other plans for him. The final verse is addressed to Victory, and the singer declares that his song is not yet fully sung, that fate is unpredictable and that he may yet find love and happiness, even in the face of great adversity.
