Eto po Liubvi

Mumiy Troll's song 'Eto po Liubvi' (translated as 'This is About Love') is a poetic exploration of love's simplicity and the lengths one will go to for a beloved. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that paint a picture of a love that is both tender and determined. The repeated phrase 'Eto budet netrudno, eto po-liubvi' (This will be easy, this is about love) underscores the central theme that love, despite its challenges, is ultimately a natural and effortless force when it is genuine.

The song's verses describe various means of communication and travel, such as caravans, ships, radios, faxes, and telephones, symbolizing the relentless effort to stay connected with a loved one. These metaphors highlight the idea that love transcends physical distances and technological barriers. The use of 'mon amie' (my friend) adds a layer of intimacy and affection, suggesting a deep bond that goes beyond mere romantic love.

The imagery of spring and summer, with references to 'solntsami li, zvyozdami li' (suns or stars), evokes a sense of joy and warmth that love brings into one's life. The mention of filling albums with photos ('drug druga zapolnim al'bomami') suggests the creation of lasting memories together. The song's gentle and affectionate tone, combined with its evocative language, captures the essence of a love that is both profound and enduring, making it a heartfelt ode to the power of love in all its forms.
