When a person is captured by love, unique in its magic, sweetness and light, the world around is illuminated with new, hitherto unknown colors. Loved eyes reflect the smiling sky, friendly people, nature rejoicing in loving happiness. The hearts of lovers do not know the cold, their souls are covered with a snow-white wing of swan fidelity.

Tragic and happy theme of love in art

Love has long and forever become the main character of poetic and song creations. No, it seems that there is a note, a sign, an interval on the stave that does not sing of this unparalleled feeling. They did not ignore the masters of words and music and the constant companions of love: joy, happiness, jealousy, bitterness of loss, admiration. She, the same swan fidelity, became the hero of masterpieces of art.

Once - it was in 1975 - the most famous Soviet poet Andrei Dementyev came across an unusual letter. Fans did not admire creativity in it, mercenary people did not ask for a service, they told about death on sheets of paper … It seems that there is nothing globally terrible, but just a leadercollective farm, a peasant who loves to hunt with a gun at the ready, shot the swans. A little over a dozen. He got what he deserved (the destruction of swans in the Soviet Union was punishable by law), but pain settled in the district …

Birth of the love anthem

How I want swans to live, Dementiev thought to himself, so that the world, adorned with these incomparable snow-white creatures, becomes kinder! The brain fervently began to gather thoughts into a heap and arrange them into still scattered lines, and my legs were already carrying to the phone. Call Martynov urgently…

In the 70s, his timbre caressing with velvet, light waves of hair and a hole in his chin were known by the whole vast country. From large and small stages, the singer Yevgeny Martynov gave sincerity and warmth, his manner of performance was close and understandable to an engineer and a collective farmer, a doctor and a worker, a teacher and a researcher. Nature endowed Martynov not only with singing talent, but the same amazing music came out from under his pen.

Just like Dementyev, Evgeniy was imbued with the "swan" story. Remembering one of the legends about swans, about the power of their love, Martynov told her friend. There is no doubt that a touching story is about to appear that true love cannot be destroyed. And she appeared, starting at the song contest "Song-75", "Swan fidelity" scattered throughout the Union.

How did Martynov himself speak about the anthem of bright and pure love? "Swan fidelity", according to him, is a whole philosophy: a person must feel that heresponsible not only for his own life, that beauty and goodness must be protected, that sometimes ordinary negligence can mortally injure a person close to you. This song is about the fact that it is not enough not to kill yourself, but it is necessary to fight with all your might against those who cynically destroy a person and nature, their feelings, love.

Modern "face" of the song

"Swan Fidelity" has become a fateful event not only for its authors, it has entered the repertoire of many talented performers. But the first after Martynov, her soul, singing gift and feminine principle, was put into her by the beautiful Sofia Rotaru. "Swan Fidelity" became one of the "business cards" of the singer, who immediately felt that this was her song.

He is still alive today, a piercing, tender and at the same time full of optimism anthem of true love and fidelity. Performing it on a big stage is in itself a sign of mastery and wisdom in life.
