Весна
Н. П. Герик Горилла Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
На лезвие ножа зимы
Из трубы законов выходит прах березы
Окоченели снегири
Но выйдет масленица прыгать и скакать
Проснувшись, солнце будет гордо полыхать
Сжигая чучело, лучи протрут глаза
Власть прибьет капелью кувалда приговора
Воспрянут кронами леса
Снег, который окропило чувство воли
Ручьем впитают небеса
Когда-нибудь оттает солнечная стать
И выйдет масленица прыгать и скакать
Ну а пока под пеленою «Февраля»
Цветет подснежником весна
Моя весна – гниет убитый зверь
Моя весна – распахнутая дверь
Моя весна – церковный пьедестал
Невоплотимый идеал
The lyrics of Н. П. Герик Горилла's song "Весна" (Spring) depict the anticipation and arrival of spring after a harsh winter. In the first verse, the singer describes how unbearable it is to be under the oppressive control of the freezing cold, symbolized by the heel of frost. The winter is depicted as a sharp knife's edge, emphasizing its harshness and coldness. The laws of nature, represented by the birch tree's dust, seem paralyzed under these conditions, and even the snowbirds are frozen.
However, there is hope on the horizon as Maslenitsa, a traditional Russian holiday marking the end of winter and the arrival of spring, comes to jump and frolic. When the sun awakens, it proudly radiates its warmth, melting the snow and illuminating the world. The rays of the sun burn away the scarecrow, symbolically destroying the remnants of winter and opening the eyes to a new season. Spring gradually emerges, like a sprout breaking through the thawing ground.
In the third verse, the power of authority is depicted as a drop of judgment delivered by a hammer. The forests, represented by their crowns, rise again, rejuvenated and revitalized. The snow, which had dampened the feeling of freedom, is absorbed by the heavens like a stream, releasing the trapped energy and allowing the spirits to soar.
The lyricist conveys the hopeful message that one day the frozen state of being will thaw and transform into the radiant essence of the sun. Maslenitsa will once again emerge to jump and play. However, until that time arrives, spring remains veiled by the months of February. Nonetheless, it still blooms like a snowdrop, symbolizing the resilience and power of nature.
In the final part, the singer describes "my spring" as a decaying and slain beast. This metaphor suggests that the arrival of spring brings both life and death, as the cycle of seasons continues. The image of an open door symbolizes the endless possibilities that spring brings. It can also represent the freedom and liberation that comes with the arrival of this season. However, the singer also acknowledges that spring can be an elusive ideal, like an ethereal statue in a church, too perfect and intangible to fully grasp. This sentiment reflects the longing for an idealized version of spring, which may not always be attainable in reality.
