The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Long road" (Doroga dalnyaya) the performer of the song "Mikhail Krug"

The blue sea, falling stars, it means that we are destined to part.

And tears are quietly rolling down my cheeks, and a wave rocks a star in the sky.

And tears are quietly rolling down my cheeks, and a wave rocks a star in the sky.

Chorus:

The road is long, the road is far, and a star burns in the cloudy sky.

Separation is bitter and unfortunate, like the queen of spades falling on the table.

Separation is bitter and unfortunate, like the queen of spades falling on the table.

We have lost a lot in life, but nothing is so painful to regret.

We exchanged our love with you, you for separation, and I for sorrow.

We exchanged our love with you, I for separation, and I for sorrow.

Chorus:

The road is long, the road is far, and a star burns in the cloudy sky.

Separation is bitter and unfortunate, like the queen of spades falling on the table.

Separation is bitter and unfortunate, like the queen of spades falling on the table.

Синее море, падают звёзды, значит, разлука нам суждена.

А по щекам тихо катятся слёзы и в небе звезду качает волна.

А по щекам тихо катятся слёзы и в небе звезду качает волна.

Припев:

Дорога дальняя, дорога долгая, а в небе пасмурном горит звезда.

Разлука горькая и непутёвая как масть пиковая на стол легла.

Разлука горькая и непутёвая как масть пиковая на стол легла.

А мы по жизни много теряли, но ничего так до боли не жаль.

Нашу любовь мы с тобой променяли, ты на разлуку, а я на печаль.

Нашу любовь мы с тобой променяли, я - на разлуку, а я на печаль.

Припев:

Дорога дальняя, дорога долгая, а в небе пасмурном горит звезда.

Разлука горькая и непутёвая как масть пиковая на стол легла.

Разлука горькая и непутёвая как масть пиковая на стол легла.

The song "Long Road" by Mikhail Krug expresses the deep sadness and longing of the lyrical hero separated from his beloved. From the very first lines, an atmosphere of hopelessness is created: "The blue sea, stars are falling, it means that we are destined to part." The image of falling stars is traditionally associated with unfulfilled dreams, and the hero's tears rolling down his cheeks emphasize the depth of his feelings.

The comparison of separation to "a spade suit, fallen on the table" reinforces the feeling of bitterness and inevitability. The suit of spades in cards often symbolizes fate, destiny, which is impossible to escape.

The lyrical hero realizes that he and his beloved have gone through a lot in life, but the loss of love is the hardest loss: "We have traded our love, you for separation, and I for sorrow." He does not blame his beloved, but only sadly states the fact of their separation.

The repeating refrain "Long road, long road, and a star burns in the cloudy sky" emphasizes the loneliness of the hero walking through life without love, like a traveler wandering into the unknown. The only source of hope for him remains a distant star burning in the cloudy sky, which may symbolize the belief that someday the pain of separation will subside.
