Ch… Read Full Bio ↴Lюk (Lyuk) are a electro-funk-lounge band from Kharkiv, Ukraine.

Champions of the Eclectic Kharkiv Sound Perform. Lюk’s music could be an ideal soundtrack for Sunday shopping on Mars and play in a humanoid supermarket that sells only balloons…They’re a band of aliens taught Ukrainian. They write their texts in Ukrainian, French, Russian and English. This band employ all the variety of modern music, both electronic and live, to pull out what they really need and create a style that can truly be called their own.

Successfully combining the best features of rock and lounge, Lюk are like nothing else in Russian or Ukrainian music. In the original style of the group, you could find hints at various music cultures, from hip-hop to acid-jazz, but while listening to this wonderful easy cocktail stylistic components are what you want to discern the least. It is widely accepted that the Ukrainian language is very melodious (as compared to Russian). Lюk take full advantage of it, yet if they wish to perform a song in equally melodious French or in Russian, which general audience understands more easily, the results turn out to be none the worse.

Lюk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Просыпайся, мы снова на Земле,
залижут лыжи белый цвет.
Оставайся в моем забытом сне,
передавай там всем привет.

Улыбались замерзшие шарфы,
тянули время как могли.
Волновалась певица из Уфы,

мы единицы и нули.

Милый друг, я люблю тебя.
Хорошо, что кто-то где-то выдумал тебя
нечаянно из ветра и...

Попытайся быть снова на Земле
в слепом дыхании дождей.
Разобьемся на тысячи частей,
построим мир из мелочей.

Милый друг, я люблю тебя.
Хорошо, что кто-то где-то выдумал тебя
нечаянно из ветра

Милый друг, я люблю тебя.

Хорошо, что кто-то где-то выдумал тебя
нечаянно из ветра и льда

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lюk's song Друг (Friend) are contemplative and introspective, exploring the nature of friendship and the passing of time. The song encourages the listener to wake up and be present in the moment, to appreciate the beauty of the world around them as winter turns to spring. The singer implores their friend to stay with them in their forgotten dream, sending greetings to all they encounter.

The imagery of the frozen scarves and the singer from Ufa who was worried conveys a sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time, when friendships were easier and the world seemed more innocent. The singer expresses their love for their friend, grateful that they exist at all, as if they were created by the wind and ice.

The final stanza continues this sentiment, urging the listener to try to be present in the world, to make something out of the fragments of life. The repetition of the phrase "милый друг, я люблю тебя" (my dear friend, I love you) throughout the song reinforces the importance of this relationship and the gratitude the singer feels for it.
