Memento Mori
эйприл Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Крышесносная весенняя аллея
Я в твои глаза по пять взъерошенных копеек
Любо доро...любо дорого смотрю
Щедрый дым тоски овеял контур шей
Словно полотно нарисовала фея
Как и твои глаза по пять копеек
Хрупкость бабочек живёт в моем сачке
Может погубить, а, может, и согреет –
Так твои глаза по пять растрёпанных копеек
на моём впечатались зрачке
These lyrics, from the song "Memento mori" by эйприл, convey a sense of longing and adoration for someone. The first verse sets the scene with a reference to the transition from April to January, implying a significant passage of time. The imagery of a spring alley being demolished suggests a sense of destruction or change. The singer then expresses their fascination with the other person's eyes, describing them as worth five disheveled coins. This signifies that the eyes are captivating and valuable, drawing the singer's attention and affection.
In the second verse, the lyrics continue to explore the theme of longing and admiration. The generous smoke of melancholy surrounds the outline of the person's neck, as if it was sketched by a whimsical fairy. The repetition of the phrase "по пять копеек" (meaning "five coins") indicates a continuation of the fascination with the person's eyes. Additionally, the mention of a satisfied smile reaching the ears suggests that the person's happiness greatly impacts the singer, reinforcing their deep connection.
The third verse introduces a contrasting element by mentioning the fragility of butterflies living in the singer's "sachek" (a small traditional Russian net used to catch insects). This metaphorical reference suggests that the person being admired possesses a delicate nature that can either harm or comfort the singer. The repetition of "по пять растрепанных копеек" (meaning "five disheveled coins") emphasizes the intensity of the person's gaze, leaving a lasting impression on the singer's pupils.
Overall, these lyrics depict a profound admiration for someone and their captivating eyes. The repetition of the phrase "по пять копеек" throughout the song emphasizes the mesmerizing and valuable quality of the person's gaze. The references to the passage of time, destruction, and fragility add layers of complexity and vulnerability to the singer's emotions. It is a song that celebrates the beauty and impact that someone can have on another person's life.

April has settled down from January
Крышесносная весенняя аллея
A roof-crushing spring alley
Я в твои глаза по пять взъерошенных копеек
I look into your eyes for five disheveled kopecks
Любо доро...любо дорого смотрю
I look dearly... I look dearly and expensively
Щедрый дым тоски овеял контур шей
Generous smoke of longing enveloped the contour of the neck
Словно полотно нарисовала фея
As if a fairy painted a canvas
Как и твои глаза по пять копеек
Just like your eyes for five kopecks
и довольную улыбку до ушей
And a satisfied smile up to the ears
Хрупкость бабочек живёт в моем сачке
Fragility of butterflies lives in my net
Может погубить, а, может, и согреет –
It may ruin or perhaps warm up
Так твои глаза по пять растрёпанных копеек
So your eyes for five tousled kopecks
на моём впечатались зрачке
Have imprinted on my pupil
