Peter Nalitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord of Mercy
Would you be so good, Lord
I wanna love her now
And I wanna feel that now with all,
All of those kisses and sweet embraces
Here am I
For this cruel cruel time
When I'm first time in love
Now that is
Now that is why I sing,
Lord of Mercy,
And I hope now that you hear me
Oh yeah
[Friend:] What are you doing man?
[Peter Nalitch:] I am looking at her photos
What should I do with them?
[Friend:] Drop them to the fire!
[Peter Nalitch:] Yes, man
I'm gonna burn them now
Cause I have to forget her now with all,
All of those kisses and sweet embraces
Here am I
Lost and forgotten
For this cruel cruel time
When I'm first time in love
Now that is
Now that is why I sing,
Lord of Mercy,
And I hope now that you hear me oh...
[Saxophone break:]
Here am I
Lost and forgotten
For this cruel cruel time
When I'm first time in love
Now that is
Now that is why I sing,
Lord of Mercy,
And I hope now that you hear me, oh bring her back to me.
The song "Lost and Forgotten" by Peter Nalitch is a melancholic expression of a man's first experience with love. The lyrics suggest that the singer has fallen deeply in love with someone, and he wants to feel their love through kisses and sweet embraces. However, he is gently warned by a friend that he needs to let go of his past and move on. The singer agrees with his friend's advice and decides to burn his lover's photos as a symbol of forgetting her. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Lord of Mercy," as if pleading with a higher power for emotional peace and healing.
The song's opening lines "Would you believe, Lord of Mercy, Would you be so good, Lord, I wanna love her now" suggests that the singer is exploring his spiritual side. He seems to be asking for divine guidance to help him navigate through the difficult emotions that come with first love. The use of a saxophone break in the song further enhances the emotional tone of the song.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of lost love and moving on. Burning the photos signifies a symbolic ending to the relationship, and the singer takes the first step towards forgetting the past. This internal conflict of wanting to move on while simultaneously reminiscing on the past is a relatable experience that many people have gone through.

Поверь мне,
Милостивый Бог,
Прошу, будь добр ко мне, Господь!
Я хочу её любви сейчас
И я хочу ощущать это тепло сейчас
Все эти поцелуи и нежные объятия
Вот я здесь,
Потерянный и забытый,
Это самое тяжелое время —
Время, когда я впервые любил
Сейчас из-за этого,
Сейчас из-за этого я пою
Милостивый Бог,
И я сейчас надеюсь, что ты услышишь меня
О, да
— Что ты делаешь, дружище?
— Любуюсь её фотографиями
Что мне теперь делать сними?
— Брось их в огонь!
— О, да
Да, я спалю их сейчас,
Потому что мне придется забыть её всю
И все эти поцелуи и нежные объятия
Вот я здесь,
Потерянный и забытый,
Это самое тяжелое время —
Время, когда я впервые любил
Сейчас из-за этого,
Сейчас из-за этого я пою
Милостивый Бог,
И я сейчас надеюсь, что ты услышишь меня, о
Вот я здесь,

I remember the 11 y.o. me developing a mild crush on him while watching this live on TV! 😀
Years later, I totally can see why!
I mean, not only he is very handsome!?? 😍
But he basically combines almost everything I still love in male appearance to this day:
• a knitted cardigan (!) 😍
• a scarf (!) 😍
• dense unstyled hair
• an extremely pleasant voice
Heck, he seems an ideal man!! 😄

Единственное наше выступление на ЕВ, которое хочется пересматривать снова и снова, даже спустя много лет! Очень люблю эту песню за её изысканную красоту, за многослойность и неоднозначность, за тонкую иронию без всякого фриковства)) Браво Петру и всему коллективу!
@user-lj6up6ms6f
Припев на разрыв души, фото хорошая придумка. Какие молодцы! Часто слушаю эту песню. Европу же надо удивить масками, воплями, наготой, бородой, тансвеститами. Какая душа? Пусть русские с ней носятся.
@AlirzaevRavshan
Пожалуй вы правы, другого выступления, которое хочется пересмотреть, не припоминаю.
@elenahasanova229
Удивительно, что эта песня тогда не заняла первое место!
,,о времена, о нравы!..."
@lenny_constanto
Это лучшее выступление России на Евровидении, я считаю

Это не Налич был недостаточно хорош для этого конкурса, а сам конкурс не дорос до уровня Налича.
@user-dw1vt9zv7h
Это не уровеньНалича,эвровидение не впечатляет!
@dkechag1979
It doesn't have to do with Eurovision. The issue is simply that Western Europeans can't get Nalitch, at all. To them, this is just a bit cheesy melancholic song, that's all they can understand - different culture, different perception. I am from Greece and we get him, this was a great song on so many levels!
