расставаньеparting / breakup

Расставанье means 'parting' or 'breakup'. It's a poignant word that captures the central theme of the song: the pain and lingering memories after a separation.

In the lyrics, Ольга Серябкина sings, "Сто раз проиграла расставанье" (A hundred times I lost the breakup), personifying the breakup as a battle she repeatedly failed to win. This unique and emotional usage makes it a powerful word to learn.

Picture that stubborn melody you can’t shake off, then turn it into a love story. “Не Забыла (Ne Zabila)” — “I Haven’t Forgotten” is Olga Seryabina’s bittersweet confession that memories do not respect break-ups. She flips through snapshots of a past romance: a lazy sunny day that felt too perfect to appreciate, a night spent wide-awake because every corner of the city still wears his face, and the repeated inner replay of their final goodbye. With every “Ай-ай-ай” she admits she’s powerless against the whirlpool of feelings that still “spins” her around.

The song captures that tug-of-war between pride and longing. Olga knows distance cannot fix who was right or wrong, yet she secretly wishes for a do-over that might glue their “two halves” back into one. Set to a catchy electro-pop beat, the lyrics blend light-hearted hooks with raw vulnerability, making the track perfect for dancing while your heart does the remembering.
