[edit] fate or rock?

I havent heard the song, but another translation for rok is rock (as in rock and roll). its a problem i've come across a few times, Does it definatly translate to fate?

---

Lyrics refer to the doom or fate:

Ominous prophet managed to foretell it -
We thought he was posing like a jester in circus
This lesson is too cruel
And no one can say now, why and for what.
This lesson is too cruel
This is doom... doom... doom...

The actual translation and meaning of the lyrics IS "fate", or "doom". However, there is wordplay involved, because the Russian word for "fate" is "rok" (as Kipelov uses it in the lyrics). When Rock music came to Russia, the word also came to refer to it, simply beacuse it sounded exactly like the English word, (other than the different pronunciation of 'o') So I suppose it's meant as a kind of a pun. 70.227.4.128 16:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
