| Слова не могут описать мою любовь к тебе. |
| [slowly] Слова не могут описать мою любовь к тебе. |
| It means "Words can't describe my love for you." |

| Did you know that on Valentine's Day, it's common to give your love valentines, or in Russian, валентинки (valentinki)? These are small, heart-shaped cards that are typically red or pink. Traditionally, valentines are unsigned because it's thought that the heart will point out the sender of the love note. People in love also give each other various small gifts – chocolates, a stuffed toy, or even jewelry. |
