Meaning of Babooshka lyrics by Kate Bush

December 14, 2022

"Babooshka" by Kate Bush is a song about a woman who is determined to test her husband's fidelity. She creates a pseudonym and sends him scented love letters, and when she meets him in person he is amazed at how much she reminds him of his wife before the years flew by, when she was beautiful. The chorus repeats the refrain, "All yours Babooshka," to express the husband's surprise, joy and devotion for his wife's apparition. The song can be interpreted as an expression of longing for past love, but also as a warning to be aware of one's own tendency to fall back on old habits in relationships.
