Introduction
"Сколько Стоит Любовь" (Skolko Stoit Lyubov), in English "How Much Does Love Cost", is a Russian single by Morgenshtern featuring The Limba, Niletto and Boombl4. The song was written by Morgenshtern, The Limba, Niletto and Palagin, produced by Palagin, and released on August 4, 2022 through the label Zion Music. It was first presented during Morgenshtern's much talked about live stream premiere and became one of the most streamed Russian songs of that summer. On this page you will find the complete lyrics in Russian (Cyrillic), the lyrics in Roman Russian, a full English translation, the lyrics meaning, complete song details and the official label upload.
Behind its catchy pop-rap sound, the song is a deliberately cynical anti-love anthem. The singer asks how much love costs, and answers his own question in the hook: twenty-eight million.
The Song
"Skolko Stoit Lyubov" mixes a sad love song with a flex song. The opening verse sounds like a heartbroken confession: the hero cannot live with the girl or without her, and nobody could love or ruin him the way she does. But the mood quickly changes into money talk, brands and provocative lines, until the famous chorus lands: he wanted to believe in love, he no longer believes in love, nobody is his friend anymore, his best friend is now alcohol, and love, in his world, has a price tag of twenty-eight million.
The song is also full of wordplay. The verse about winning a "major" and keeping a "minor" in the heart plays with music terms and with Boombl4's esports career at the same time, which is why fans kept quoting these lines long after the release.
The Artists
Morgenshtern (Alisher Morgenshtern, born in Ufa) is one of the biggest and most controversial Russian rap and pop stars, famous for turning every release into a media event. For this song he brought together three very different guests. The Limba is a Kazakh R&B and pop singer known for melodic hits, Niletto is a Russian singer and dancer who broke through with "Lyubimka", and Boombl4 (Kirill Mikhaylov) is a Russian rapper who is also famous as the former captain of the NAVI Counter-Strike team that won the PGL Major, a detail the song itself jokes about.
The beat was made by Palagin (Vladislav Palagin), Morgenshtern's long-time producer, who is also credited among the song's writers together with Morgenshtern, The Limba and Niletto.
The Music Video
"Skolko Stoit Lyubov" did not receive a traditional big-budget music video. The track was premiered during a live stream, in the style of Morgenshtern's headline-making online events of 2022, and was then released officially through the label Zion Music. The official Zion Music upload of the song is embedded in the Song Video section of this page below.
The Music Label
The song was released and distributed by Zion Music, the Russian music label and distributor. The track was provided to YouTube and streaming platforms by Zion Music, and the label's official YouTube channel carries the song under its English title, "How Much Does Love Cost".

Skolko Stoit Lyubov Lyrics in Russian
Как мне быть? Поверь, так больно мне
Я не хочу любить, если это не ты
Я никогда уже не буду счастлив так
Ты не дала мне жить, с тобой и без тебя
Скажи мне, кто, если не я, сможет так же полюбить тебя?
Скажи мне, детка, кто, если не ты, сможет так же погубить меня? А-а
Мой первый турнир, наша первая встреча
Но главный мой приз — это наш с тобой вечер
Как увидел тебя, поздоровался снизу
Ты такая одна, ты моя Мона Лиза
Ты носишь Saint Laurent, но тебя нельзя назвать святой
Это наша love, шалава может стать женой
Влюбила пацана, зачем я выиграл тот major?
Но в сердце навсегда теперь останется минор
Такого, как я, поищет пусть, р-р-рождён любить
Двадцать восемь лямов на pu$$y, мне чуть больше двадцати
Такого, как я, поищет пусть, р-р-рождён любить
Двадцать восемь лямов на pu$$y, мне чуть больше двадцати
И я хотел поверить в любовь, но я теперь не верю в любовь
Теперь никто не дружит со мной, мой лучший друг теперь алкоголь
Сколько стоит любовь? Двадцать восемь мультов
Сколько стоит любовь? Двадцать восемь мультов
Я тебя заказал, будто ты KFC
Я влюбился в тебя, кончил и разлюбил
Я тебя уебу, будто мы в UFC
Не забуду тебя, ты моя… Бля, забыл
Да, я напиздел, что навсегда, на моём лице другая пизда
В тебе вчетвером, будто Каста
Пиздатая сука, как Лобода
Оке-е-ей, забери все мои бабки
А, не, точнее, тока тыщу
На больше ты не насосала
Лишь ты возбуждаешь мой разум, зараза
На взрослые фразы с тобою готов
Давай, научи меня всему и сразу
Давай покажем, что значит любовь
Я шаг за порог, ты уже скучаешь
Я один лишь знаю тебя так глубоко
В какие дни месяца ты включаешь и слушаешь группу «Кровосток»
Только я, только ты, нам по кайфу без суеты
Мы не хотим с тобою палиться, это наш секс in the провинция
Сквозь отношения пройдёшь и узнаешь все секреты её
Время проходит, ты понимаешь, любовь — совсем не моё
И я хотел поверить в любовь, но я теперь не верю в любовь
Теперь никто не дружит со мной, мой лучший друг теперь алкоголь
Сколько стоит любовь? Двадцать восемь мультов
Сколько стоит любовь? (Любовь)
Сколько стоит любовь?
Сколько стоит любовь? Двадцать восемь мультов
Skolko Stoit Lyubov Lyrics in Roman Russian
Kak mne byt'? Pover', tak bol'no mne
Ya ne khochu lyubit', esli eto ne ty
Ya nikogda uzhe ne budu schastliv tak
Ty ne dala mne zhit', s toboy i bez tebya
Skazhi mne, kto, esli ne ya, smozhet tak zhe polyubit' tebya?
Skazhi mne, detka, kto, esli ne ty, smozhet tak zhe pogubit' menya? A-a
Moy pervyy turnir, nasha pervaya vstrecha
No glavnyy moy priz — eto nash s toboy vecher
Kak uvidel tebya, pozdorovalsya snizu
Ty takaya odna, ty moya Mona Liza
Ty nosish' Saint Laurent, no tebya nel'zya nazvat' svyatoy
Eto nasha love, shalava mozhet stat' zhenoy
Vlyubila patsana, zachem ya vyigral tot major?
No v serdtse navsegda teper' ostanetsya minor
Takogo, kak ya, poishchet pust', r-r-rozhdyon lyubit'
Dvadtsat' vosem' lyamov na pu$$y, mne chut' bol'she dvadtsati
Takogo, kak ya, poishchet pust', r-r-rozhdyon lyubit'
Dvadtsat' vosem' lyamov na pu$$y, mne chut' bol'she dvadtsati
I ya khotel poverit' v lyubov', no ya teper' ne veryu v lyubov'
Teper' nikto ne druzhit so mnoy, moy luchshiy drug teper' alkogol'
Skol'ko stoit lyubov'? Dvadtsat' vosem' mul'tov
Skol'ko stoit lyubov'? Dvadtsat' vosem' mul'tov
Ya tebya zakazal, budto ty KFC
Ya vlyubilsya v tebya, konchil i razlyubil
Ya tebya uebu, budto my v UFC
Ne zabudu tebya, ty moya… Blya, zabyl
Da, ya napizdel, chto navsegda, na moyom litse drugaya pizda
V tebe vchetverom, budto Kasta
Pizdataya suka, kak Loboda
Oke-e-ey, zaberi vse moi babki
A, ne, tochnee, toka tyshchu
Na bol'she ty ne nasosala
Lish' ty vozbuzhdaesh' moy razum, zaraza
Na vzroslye frazy s toboyu gotov
Davay, nauchi menya vsemu i srazu
Davay pokazhem, chto znachit lyubov'
Ya shag za porog, ty uzhe skuchaesh'
Ya odin lish' znayu tebya tak gluboko
V kakie dni mesyatsa ty vklyuchaesh' i slushaesh' gruppu «Krovostok»
Tol'ko ya, tol'ko ty, nam po kayfu bez suety
My ne khotim s toboyu palit'sya, eto nash seks in the provintsiya
Skvoz' otnosheniya proydyosh' i uznaesh' vse sekrety eyo
Vremya prokhodit, ty ponimaesh', lyubov' — sovsem ne moyo
I ya khotel poverit' v lyubov', no ya teper' ne veryu v lyubov'
Teper' nikto ne druzhit so mnoy, moy luchshiy drug teper' alkogol'
Skol'ko stoit lyubov'? Dvadtsat' vosem' mul'tov
Skol'ko stoit lyubov'? (Lyubov')
Skol'ko stoit lyubov'?
Skol'ko stoit lyubov'? Dvadtsat' vosem' mul'tov
Skolko Stoit Lyubov Lyrics in English
How am I supposed to live? Believe me, it hurts so much
I don't want to love if it is not you
I will never be happy like this again
You never let me live, with you or without you
Tell me, who, if not me, could love you in the same way?
Tell me, baby, who, if not you, could ruin me in the same way? Ah-ah
My first tournament, our first meeting
But my main prize is the evening with you
When I saw you, I said hello from down below
You are one of a kind, you are my Mona Lisa
You wear Saint Laurent, but no one can call you a saint
This is our love, a loose girl can become a wife
You made this boy fall in love, why did I win that major?
But a minor key will stay in my heart forever now
Let her look for another man like me, I was b-born to love
Twenty-eight million on pu$$y, and I am just over twenty
Let her look for another man like me, I was b-born to love
Twenty-eight million on pu$$y, and I am just over twenty
And I wanted to believe in love, but now I do not believe in love
Now nobody is friends with me, my best friend now is alcohol
How much does love cost? Twenty-eight million
How much does love cost? Twenty-eight million
I ordered you as if you were KFC
I fell in love with you, finished, and fell out of love
I will beat you up as if we are in the UFC
I will not forget you, you are my… Damn, I forgot
Yeah, I lied about forever, there is another girl on my face
Four of us inside you, like the group Kasta
An awesome girl, like Loboda
Oka-a-ay, take all my money
Ah, no, actually just a thousand
You did not earn more than that
Only you excite my mind, you little infection
I am ready for grown-up talk with you
Come on, teach me everything, all at once
Let us show them what love means
I take one step out of the door and you already miss me
I am the only one who knows you this deeply
On which days of the month you turn on and listen to the band Krovostok
Only me, only you, we enjoy it without any fuss
We do not want to get caught together, this is our sex in the province
You go through a relationship and you learn all of her secrets
Time passes and you understand: love is really not my thing
And I wanted to believe in love, but now I do not believe in love
Now nobody is friends with me, my best friend now is alcohol
How much does love cost? Twenty-eight million
How much does love cost? (Love)
How much does love cost?
How much does love cost? Twenty-eight million
Lyrics Meaning
The meaning of "Skolko Stoit Lyubov" is deliberately two-faced. On the surface it is a breakup song: a man is hurt, he cannot be happy without the girl, and he drowns the pain in alcohol. Underneath, it is a satire of rich and famous relationships, where feelings are measured in money. The hook gives the song's thesis in one line: he wanted to believe in love, he stopped believing, and now love for him has a simple price, twenty-eight million.
The verses keep swinging between tenderness and provocation: Mona Lisa and Saint Laurent, a tournament major that turns into a musical minor in the heart, secret meetings nobody should find out about, and the final cold conclusion that after learning all of a partner's secrets with time, he understands that love is simply not his thing. That mix of pain, humour and showing off is exactly why the song became a quotable hit.
