Зима
Лоза Юрий Lyrics

In Лоза Юрий's song "Зима" (Winter), the lyrics convey the atmosphere and feelings associated with the winter season. The opening lines, "Осыпаются надежды, А в лесах такая тишь" (Hopes are crumbling, And there is such silence in the forests), suggest a sense of hopelessness and tranquility that winter brings. The winter is personified as it "Достает зима белые одежды, Для бульваров рек и крыш" (Puts on white clothes for boulevards, rivers, and roofs). This imagery illustrates how winter blankets everything in a serene whiteness.

The second verse, "Понемногу остывают, Споры, мысли и дела, Люди до весны окна закрывают, Пряча слабые тела" (Slowly cooling down, Disputes, thoughts, and matters, People close their windows until spring, Hiding weak bodies), describes the gradual slowing down of life during winter. It emphasizes how people retreat indoors, isolating themselves from the cold while contemplating and resting, protecting their vulnerable selves.

The following verse paints a picture of migrating birds carrying the warmth of the land as they fly away to warmer places: "Чтобы снова возвратиться, Перезимовав вдали, В теплые края улетают птицы, Унося тепло земли" (To return once again, Having wintered far away, Birds fly to warm lands, Carrying the warmth of the earth). This imagery evokes a sense of longing for spring, as the birds symbolize the eventual return of life and growth.

The final verse contrasts the frozen landscape with the promise of spring hidden behind the white snow: "А за белыми снегами, Где-то на краю земном, Девочка весна с длинными ногами, Спит себе спокойным сном" (And behind the white snow, Somewhere at the edge of the earth, Spring girl with long legs, Sleeps peacefully). This paints a vivid picture of a tranquil scene where spring is personified as a girl with long legs, awaiting her time to awaken and bring warmth and renewal.
