Love Is Like a Dream

Dimash Kudaibergen's song 'Love Is Like a Dream' is a poetic and heartfelt exploration of a profound and almost surreal love. The lyrics, sung in Russian, convey a deep emotional connection that feels both fragile and eternal. The opening lines, 'Ya v glaza tvoi, kak v zerkalo, smotryusʹ / Otrazheniye poteryatʹ svoye boyusʹ,' translate to 'I look into your eyes like into a mirror / I am afraid of losing my reflection.' This metaphor suggests that the lover sees themselves in their partner, indicating a deep sense of unity and fear of losing that connection.

The chorus, 'Lyubovʹ, pokhozhaya na son / Serdets khrustalʹnyy perezvon,' which means 'Love, like a dream / The crystal chime of hearts,' emphasizes the ethereal and almost magical quality of their love. The comparison of love to a dream highlights its beauty and the sense of it being too good to be true. The 'crystal chime of hearts' evokes a delicate and precious bond, further underscoring the fragility and preciousness of their relationship.

Throughout the song, Dimash sings about overcoming loneliness and sadness, finding happiness and fulfillment in this love. Lines like 'Ya proshchayu odinochestvo I grustʹ / Ty skazal, v nikh ya bolʹshe ne vernusʹ,' meaning 'I forgive loneliness and sadness / You said I will not return to them,' reflect a transformative experience brought about by love. The song concludes with a hopeful note, expressing a desire for this dreamlike love to never end, defying the laws of dreams and reality. Dimash's powerful and emotive vocal delivery enhances the song's emotional depth, making 'Love Is Like a Dream' a moving ode to an idealized and transcendent love.
