Almost all my life I've known that this was a Russian word (because it's extremely common in Russian songs!).

Have losely wondered from time to time what this word might mean, but never checked it until last year when I started to study Russian. I was really pleased and surprised to learn that it means "soul".

I would have been very disappointed if it had a mundane meaning!

But frankly lots of Russian words sound very cool, that's part of the appeal of the Russian language!
Too bad the grammar is so devilish!!!
