Does this have any relation to the saying "plenty of fish in the sea"? I'm not sure if this exists in Russian.

Lyrics:

    I've caught a lot of different fish. I know the cool places.

    Where there's a sea of girl's smiles. No effort's needed to catch something there.

    But only you, are the fish of my dreams! Only you are the fish of my dreams!

    But only you, are the fish of my dreams! Only you are the fish of my dreams!

    After a bite then I can catch around fifty over night.

    From Leningradka and to Kapotnya There are flocks of Tanyas and Katyas of all sorts.

    But only you, are the fish of my dreams! Only you are the fish of my dreams!

    But only you, are the fish of my dreams! Only you are the fish of my dreams!

    I've fished a lot, I've fished quite often. I even caught piranhas.

    And once a true crocodile with huge jaws was caught.

    But only you, are the fish of my dreams! Only you are the fish of my dreams!

It almost seems as if there are too many fish in the sea... I don't speak Russian, so I don't know if that idiom exists there.
