моя

Rauf & Faik's song 'моя' (which translates to 'mine' in English) is a poignant exploration of love, longing, and destiny. The lyrics tell the story of a romantic encounter that feels fated, as if written in the stars. The protagonist recalls a night where he wandered until morning in the rain, only to be captivated by someone who promised to 'steal' him away. This moment marks the beginning of his love story, a tale filled with passion and a deep yearning for connection.

The recurring motif of the star ('zvezda') telling him that she will be his ('Chto budesh' ty moya') adds a mystical layer to the narrative. It suggests that their meeting was predestined, a cosmic alignment that brought them together. Despite the protagonist's intense feelings and his willingness to abandon everything for their love, there is an underlying tension. He questions whether she truly sees him and whether she shares the same depth of emotion. This uncertainty is palpable in lines like 'Razve tak ty nenavidish' vse, chto delayu ya?' (Do you really hate everything I do?) and 'YA razryvayus', khot' ne vidish' moyu noshu, beyba' (I'm torn apart, though you don't see my burden, baby).

The song also touches on themes of escape and secrecy. The protagonist dreams of running away with his love to a place where no one can see them, continuing their story away from prying eyes. This desire for a private, unobserved love underscores the intensity and purity of his feelings. However, the repeated questioning of whether she will stay with him ('Budesh' li ty so mnoy, pokazhet vremya, beyba') reveals his vulnerability and fear of losing her. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the protagonist shouting out his love, knowing that he may never see her again.
