Liubov',pokhozhaia na son

Alla Pugacheva's song 'Liubov', pokhozhaia na son' (translated as 'Love, Like a Dream') is a poetic and heartfelt exploration of a love so profound that it feels almost unreal. The lyrics describe a deep emotional connection between two people, where the singer looks into her lover's eyes as if they were a mirror, fearing the loss of her own reflection. This metaphor suggests that her identity and sense of self are deeply intertwined with her partner, highlighting the intensity of their bond.

The chorus, 'Liubov', pokhozhaia na son, Serdets khrustal'nyj perezvon,' translates to 'Love, like a dream, the crystal chime of hearts.' This imagery evokes a sense of fragility and beauty, comparing their love to a delicate, dreamlike state. The singer expresses a desire for this love to defy the laws of dreams and never end, emphasizing its precious and almost magical nature. The repetition of 'Ia tikhim ehkhom povtoriu' ('I will quietly echo') underscores the reverence and quiet joy she finds in this love.

Throughout the song, Pugacheva reflects on how her lover has transformed her life, taking her away from loneliness and trivial worries. The lyrics 'Ty skazal, chto v nikh ia bol'she ne vernus'' ('You said that I will never return to them') signify a promise of eternal happiness and companionship. The singer acknowledges the rarity of such a love, likening it to something that usually only happens in sweet dreams, yet she celebrates its reality in her life. The song's emotional depth and poetic language capture the essence of a love that feels both extraordinary and enduring.
