Lubeh's bard music combine traditional Russian folk music and present elements of Western rock and roll, and soviet military music. Starting in 1989, they have released 16 albums.
The band has six members, led by the singer Nikolay Rastorguyev, one of the People's Artists of Russia. In the mid-1990s, the band surprisingly released an album of Beatles covers. The album Rasseya, released in 2004, includes a remake of one of their older songs and a rock rendition of the Hymn of the Russian Federation. Lubeh has only produced one song in English, called No More Barricades, which deals with Russian democracy.
Lubeh is one of the few rock and roll groups whose audience garners a wide listening audience. Fans and concert-goers are from a wide range of ages, including seniors, teenagers, children and parents. At least one of their concerts has been attended by the Russian president Vladimir Putin who happens to be a big fan.
Their name comes from that of the Moscow suburb of Lyubertsy, which during the late 1980s and early 1990s was a center of luber culture, whose values are in part reflected in Lubeh's songs.
Комбат
Любэ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Патроны, водка, махорка в цене,
А на войне нелегкий труд,
А сам стреляй а то убьют.
А на войне, как на войне,
Подруга, вспомни обо мне.
А на войне неровен час,
А может мы, а может нас.
Комбат-батяня, батяня-комбат,
Ты сердце не прятал за спины ребят.
Летят самолеты, и танки горят,
Так бьет, йо, комбат, йо, комбат.
Комбат-батяня, батяня-комбат,
За нами Россия, Москва и Арбат,
Огонь, батарея, огонь, батальон,
Комбат, йо, командует он.
Огонь, батарея, огонь, батальон,
Огонь, батарея, огонь, батальон,
Огонь, батарея, огонь, батальон,
Огонь, батарея, огонь, огонь, огонь, агония.
А на войне, как на войне:
Солдаты видят мамку во сне,
А на войне, да то оно,
А все серьезней, чем в кино.
The lyrics to Любэ’s song “Комбат” describe the harsh realities of war, where bullets, vodka, and tobacco hold more value than anything else, and survival depends on one’s ability to fight and shoot. The song focuses on the role of a commander, or a “комбат”, who leads his battalion in the midst of the chaos, with planes flying overhead and tanks exploding in the distance. The chorus portrays the “комбат” as a brave and respected figure among his troops, who never hesitates to take charge and lead his men to victory.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the soldiers are not just fighting for their survival, but for the safety and pride of their country. The lyrics mention Russia, Moscow, and Arbat, hinting at the fact that the soldiers are fighting for something greater than themselves. The song ends on a somber note as the soldiers dream of their loved ones back home and the harsh reality of war sinks in.
Overall, “Комбат” is a powerful and moving tribute to the brave men and women who serve in the military, fighting for their country and their freedom.
