Help me to understand любэ?
I've got their CD. It's called ребята нашего полка. What does this mean? Guys in our 'bench'? some kind of army slang?
And любэ itself? Does that mean something?
The first song is Луговая трава (great song by the way). 'meadow grass' or something. And then it talks about Луговые вёрсты and Фронтовые вёрсты .. yandex translates вёрсты as 'versts' but I have no idea what that means. Anyone?
"солдат", между прочим, очень хорошая песня! третьи сутки в пути.. :)

"полка" is genitive from "полк" which means "regiment". So it means "guys of our regiment".

Верста(pl. вёрсты) is a length unit (= 3500 ft.).

I think, it's an abridgement of Люберцы (town by Moscow). 'Атас! Берегись рабочий клас*' is popped in my mind every time when somebody says Любэ. :D
*- it was a song from their first album.

"Глеб Жеглов и Володя Шарапов...." :wink: It's one of those songs I haven't heard in forever but still remember the words to!
I really like Любэ's song "Ты неси меня, река"

As Nikolay Rastorguyev said in some interview, the name of this band
was both inspired by "Люберцы" (yes, old industrial Moscow suburb where most of them were born) and by ukrainean word "любе" -- "likely" (or "liking"?)
