Humans are interesting.

ACTION --> REACTION --> SYNTHESIS

I observe that the lyrics are in English, though.

Russian is quite hard to speak really rapidly. Too many sibilants and gutterals

There is an illusion that makes a dancer seem to be in time to music , even if the music is changed .

There are an infinite number of rhythms but only a few time signatures .

So as long as the dancer is rhythmic , and the music is not too different, there will seem to be a close match even though the music can be very different than the original.

The lyrics to Amazing Grace and the theme song from Gilligan's Island are interchangeable. It is only a difference of tempo.
