Зима
Григорий Лепс Lyrics

In the first verse of Григорий Лепс's song Зима, he talks about how all winter he dreams and dreams but there's no point in waking up until spring. He describes the humming of the wind that he hears in his dream, and how taking a step left or right can lead to trouble. The use of the word "хана" in this line, which roughly translates to "trouble," is notable as it is a common slang term in Russian.

In the chorus, Григорий repeats his desire to get away from his troubles and leave the prison that he feels trapped in. He wants to escape from the heavy melancholy of winter and go to the edge of the world where it's warm and sunny all day and night. He even mentions how the indigenous people of the area, the Chukchi, die from the cold.

The second verse again emphasizes his desire to escape and highlights the idea that while you're young, you should dance and have fun instead of dealing with the cold. He reiterates that he wants to go to a place where it's always warm and sunny, where there's no such thing as winter food like "belyashi," a Russian meat pastry.

Overall, the song is a deep and poignant reflection on the harsh realities of winter in Russia, and the desperation that comes with feeling trapped in the cold.
