Аравика
Animal Джаz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Черные тени, день превращается в прах
Время пришло, но я еще не готов
Тело увязло в песке, голова в небесах
Ты беспощадна, ты бросаешь меня
Руки разняв, ты просто уходишь прочь
Тень миража, ловкая, словно змея
Chorus:
Бесконечно время и пески
Я сдаюсь, я проиграл, но ты
Аравика
Свет играет с тьмой
Аравика
Ты пойдешь за мной
До неба
Что над головой в цветах
Небо
Друг и герой спасет меня
Мерцающий свет, дворец капитана судеб
Невеста песков, принцесса двора короля
Я видел тебя, пугливая птица
Я знаю тебя, ты земляная змея
The lyrics of "Аравика" by Animal Джаz paint a vivid picture of a person struggling with the passing of time and the harsh realities of life. The opening lines indicate a loss of hope and a fading of once-familiar sounds such as footsteps. The imagery of "black shadows" and a day turning to dust create a sense of impending doom. The singer acknowledges that time has come, but they aren't ready for it yet. The next line of "body stuck in sand, head in the sky" portrays the separation between the singer's physical reality and their mental aspirations.
The second verse is a plea to an unsympathetic lover. The use of the word "implacable" to describe this woman indicates a lack of benevolence or mercy. The singer's hands spread apart, and they are left to drift away as their beloved disappears. This person is likened to a "mirage" and a "snake" - both words that indicate a lack of solidity and a certain danger. The chorus is a lament over losing to the "endless time and sands" and acknowledging that "Aravika" - a reference to some mythical place - will come for them. There is talk of light playing with darkness, and the possibility that "Aravika" will come looking for them again. The final line of the chorus repeats the name of the place, indicating that it has some significance to this person's story.
Overall, the lyrics of "Aravika" by Animal Джаz suggest a sense of futility in the face of time and change. The singer seems resigned to their fate, but there is a hint of defiance in the way they speak of this mystical place. The sense of longing for something that may be out of reach creates a poignant and reflective tone.

Тает надежда и гаснет шепот шагов
Hope is fading away and footsteps are silent
Черные тени, день превращается в прах
Black shadows, day turns into dust
Время пришло, но я еще не готов
The time has come, but I'm not ready yet
Тело увязло в песке, голова в небесах
My body is stuck in the sand, my head is in the clouds
Ты беспощадна, ты бросаешь меня
You're ruthless, you're leaving me behind
Руки разняв, ты просто уходишь прочь
You're walking away with your hands apart
Тень миража, ловкая, словно змея
A shadow of a mirage, cunning like a snake
Холодная Афродита-ночь
Cold night of Aphrodite
Бесконечно время и пески
Endless time and sands
Я сдаюсь, я проиграл, но ты
I give up, I lost, but you

Друг и герой спасет меня
Friend and hero will save me
Мерцающий свет, дворец капитана судеб
Flickering light, the palace of the captain of justice
Невеста песков, принцесса двора короля
The bride of the sands, the princess of the king's court
Я видел тебя, пугливая птица
I saw you, a timid bird
Я знаю тебя, ты земляная змея
I know you, you're an earth snake
