Вот и расстались
Михаил Боярский Lyrics

The lyrics of Михаил Боярский’s song “Вот и расстались” speaks about a separation and how it affects one’s life. The first verse describes a happy day that was once shared with someone, and they both believed that it would never end. They laughed and forgot that there is a limit to everything. The phrase - “Предел всему” meaning “a limit to everything” - is repeated at the end of the verse to emphasize their ignorance of the reality that everything has an end. The second verse is about how one copes with the loss. The person tries to convince themselves that the storm will pass, but the sadness in their eyes proves otherwise. The chorus repeats the phrase “Вот и расстались” meaning “So we parted” to emphasize the finality of the separation, and the fact that they did not attempt to bring back what they lost.

The song is a reflection of the impact of separation on people’s lives, especially when they are not prepared for it. It highlights the emotions and trauma that a person goes through when losing someone dear to them. The lyrics, combined with the melancholic melody and the singer's voice, create a sentimental and nostalgic tone that makes the listener empathize with the feeling of loss.
