Вальс
Animal Джаz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ночь на проводе
Очень хочется
Растопить ее
Одиночество
Постучаться в дверь ее
Не закрыв окна
И в глаза ее
Заглянуть до дна

И закружиться в танце
У ее костра
Вихрями, закрученными в танце
Вырвать сердца нет и нет тепла
Но ты играй
Вальс из ста нот
В нем живет
Лишь одна из ста

Ночь играет нам
Вальс три четверти
Твое мое тело
Сплела в одно смело
Но не выйдет одного
Разобъет на два
Одиночества
Шесть часов без сна
Но ты играй
Вальс из ста нот
В нем живет
Лишь одна из ста

Chorus:
Дай мне
Уйти на перекресток твоих дорог
Дай мне
Уснуть раньше, чем выйдет мой срок
Эта ночь не оставит в тебе тепла
Не жди, не надейся, не думай

Эта ночь расплатится с тобой сполна
Остатками крошек, пыльцой со стола

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Animal Джаz's song Вальс talks about longing for warmth and companionship, as the night falls. The singer of the song wishes to thaw the coldness of the night and overcome their loneliness. They want to knock on the door of their beloved, without even closing the window. They want to look into her eyes, as they dance around her fire. The singer wants to immerse themselves in the waltz of a hundred notes, where only one of them lives.

The waltz seems to be the only escape from the loneliness that the singer is feeling throughout the night. The music has the power to merge the bodies of the singer and their lover into one courageous movement. While the night transitions into dawn, the singer is terrified of losing the warmth that the waltz brought them. The prospect of going back to being alone terrifies them. The implied warning in the chorus, that the night will leave them bereft of warmth and comfort, makes the listener empathetic towards the singer’s longing for companionship.

Line by Line Meaning

Ночь на проводе
The night is hanging in the air

Очень хочется
I really want

Растопить ее
To warm it up

Одиночество
Loneliness

Постучаться в дверь ее
To knock on its door

Не закрыв окна
Leaving the windows open

И в глаза ее
And in its eyes

Заглянуть до дна
To see deep inside

И закружиться в танце
And spin in a dance

У ее костра
By its bonfire

Вихрями, закрученными в танце
Whirling, twisted in dance
