Апрель
Магелланово Облако Lyrics

The lyrics of "Апрель" by Магелланово Облако (Magellanic Cloud) speak of the arrival of April, a melancholic and nostalgic tone, and the experience of falling in love for the first time. The song begins by describing April as ringing, suggesting a sense of awakening and new beginnings. The mention of a melodic sub-tone creates a somber atmosphere. The door is opened, symbolizing an opportunity for love. The feeling of being in love is described as if it's happening for the first time, implying a sense of innocence and excitement.

The lyrics go on to describe life as simple and ascending, lifted by the winds. There is a sense of longing to touch the lips of the beloved, but it remains unattainable. The mention of the endless circle of life, referred to as "сансары" (samsara), suggests a continuous cycle of existence and questioning its meaning. All of this is described as a dream, and the whisper of the sky at the wharf adds an ethereal quality to the imagery.

The chorus repeats the line "In my first spring, I went crazy." This repetition emphasizes the overwhelming and transformative nature of experiencing love for the first time. The second verse continues with April ringing, symbolizing the continuing presence of this powerful month. The depth of this experience is said to be immeasurable, and the listener is encouraged to simply believe and find meaning in the silence. The atmosphere becomes filled with a sense of anticipation and revelation, as the darkness of premonitions fills the heart with the spoken word.

The lyrics compare the spoken word to last year's melting snow, barely falling from the yellowed rivers. This imagery suggests transience and impermanence. Rumors and whispers fill the air, and once again, the whisper of the sky at the wharf is mentioned, highlighting its significance throughout the song.
