Rajony, Kvartaly

Zveri's song 'Rajony, Kvartaly' captures the essence of a graceful departure from a familiar environment. The lyrics convey a sense of finality and resolution, as the protagonist acknowledges that there is nothing left to gain ('Bol'she nechego lovit'') and decides to leave immediately to avoid attachment ('Nado srazu uhodit', Chto b nikto ne privykal'). This decision is underscored by the imagery of 'yarko zhyoltye ochki' (bright yellow glasses) and 'dva serdechka na brelke' (two hearts on a keychain), which symbolize the memories and emotions tied to the place they are leaving behind.

The recurring chorus, 'Rajony, kvartaly, zhilye massivy. Ya uhozhu, uhozhu krasivo,' emphasizes the protagonist's intention to leave in a dignified and beautiful manner. The mention of 'rajony' (districts), 'kvartaly' (quarters), and 'zhilye massivy' (residential areas) paints a vivid picture of the urban landscape they are departing from. This urban setting is a significant part of their life, yet they choose to walk away lightly ('Ya shagayu nalegke'), suggesting a desire for a fresh start and new experiences.

The song also touches on the inevitability of change and the acceptance of different paths in life. The lines 'Kto-to lyubit, kto-to vryot I letaet v oblakah' (Some love, some lie, and fly in the clouds) reflect the varied ways people cope with their realities. The protagonist's choice to leave 'krasivo' (beautifully) indicates a mature and thoughtful approach to moving on, leaving behind a place that holds both joy and sorrow. This graceful exit is not just about physical departure but also about emotional liberation and the pursuit of new beginnings.
