The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Kisses" (Pocelui) the performer of the song "Zemfira"

It cries because it sees

It cries because it remembers

Waltzes of leaves, paintbrushes, fingers

Rain's streams - kisses

Rain's streams - kisses... yours

It cries because of deadlines

It cries and releases the documents

To freedom, to the same place

I wish I could one day,

But

Rain's streams - kisses

Rain's streams - kisses

Yes-yes-yes, rain's streams

Pa-pa-pa, kisses

Yes-yes-yes, rain's streams

Pa-pa-pa, your kisses...

It cries...

Оно плачет, потому что видит

Плачет, потому что помнит

Листьев вальсы, кисти, пальцы

Дождя струи - поцелуи

Дождя струи - поцелуи...твои

Оно плачет, потому что сроки

Плачет и отпускает доки

На волю, туда же

И мне бы однажды,

Но

Дождя струи - поцелуи

Дождя струи - поцелуи

Да-да-да, дождя струи

Па-па-па, поцелуи

Да-да-да, дождя струи

Па-па-па, поцелуи твои...

Оно плачет..

In Zemfira's song "Kisses", the lyrical hero(ine) experiences deep sadness and longing associated with lost love. "It", most likely personifying the hero's heart, is overwhelmed with memories.

"It cries because it sees, it cries because it remembers" – these lines convey the inability to forget the past, which painfully comes alive in memory. The images of "waltzes of leaves, brushes, fingers" are symbols of beauty, lightness, and tenderness that were inherent in the relationship. Rain, compared to kisses, is a metaphor for farewell, purification, but at the same time pain that leaves behind emptiness.

The hero(ine) yearns for freedom from these oppressive feelings: "It cries because of the deadlines, it cries and releases the documents... And so would I one day." The desire to "release the documents" speaks of the desire to be freed from the past, for a new stage in life.

The repeating lines "Streams of rain – kisses" enhance the feeling of hopelessness and longing. Rain kisses are just a ghostly reminder of real kisses that are left in the past. The repetition of "yes-yes-yes" and "pah-pah-pah" conveys inner turmoil and anguish, the inability to break out of the cycle of memories.

The final words "It cries..." sound hopeless. The sadness and longing of the hero(ine) seem endless, and the image of the crying "it" leaves a feeling of despair and incompleteness.
