пароходы — steamboats
Пароходы (parokhody) literally means "steamboats". It's a charming, slightly old-fashioned word that you wouldn't expect to find in a modern love song, which makes it very memorable.
The lyrics paint a series of grand, surreal pictures of the couple's unity. The line "И нас за своих примут пароходы" ("And the steamboats will accept us as their own") is a whimsical, poetic image suggesting their bond is so strong that they'll find belonging in the most unusual of places, as long as they are together.
This song is a huge declaration of love and partnership, but it uses some really wild and imaginative scenarios to get its point across. The singers imagine all the extreme things they could be together. They could be so brilliant they're like "два нобель лауреата" (two Nobel prize winners), or so out of control that they're considered "сумасшедшими" (crazy) and put in separate hospital rooms. They could become vast oceans separated by continents, or even angels flying above the clouds. It's a powerful way of saying their connection is so big it can contain every possibility, from genius to madness.
The chorus brings all these wild ideas back down to a simple, beautiful promise. No matter what they become, they will face it all together. They will be side-by-side "под ярким самым и под дождём" (under the brightest sun and in the rain). The song's ultimate promise is that they will get through everything the world throws at them and, in the end, "когда-нибудь в один день умрём" (someday die on the same day). It's a dramatic and deeply romantic statement about a bond that lasts a lifetime.
