Black Yard Lyrics English Translation by Ulukmanapo
The lyricist uses lines like ‘Black streets, black yards’ to describe a world where freedom is conditional and the past feels heavy. ‘In these eyes, there are endless corridors’ becomes a metaphor for the endless struggles and unanswered questions. The poet mentions cold stares, broken destinies, and the silent judgment of the city.
Dvizheniya Po ChyornomuMoving through the darkness,
Kazhetsya Vsyo Pod Kontrolem No Plata Po Polnoyit feels like everything’s under control, but you pay the full price.
To Chto Kazalos Dorogoy K Chemu To OgromnomuWhat seemed like the path to something huge,
Tyanet Ko Dnu Bezdonnomu Volya Svobodnomuis dragging you to the bottomless depths; wishing freedom to the free.
No Nynche Svoboda Uslovnaya Proshloe SkomkanoBut nowadays freedom is conditional, the past is crumpled up.
Ulybki Falshivye Vzglyady KholodnyeThe smiles are fake, the stares are cold.
Skolko Sudeb Bylo SlomanoSo many destinies have been broken.
Chyornye Ulitsy Chyornye DvoryBlack streets, black yards.
V Etikh Glazakh KoridoryIn these eyes, there are endless corridors.
Vyshli Iz Tmy Gde Stirayut UzoryThey came out of the dark, where patterns are erased,
Gde Bratya Stanovyatsya Prosto Znakomywhere brothers become just acquaintances.
Kto To V Zone Kto To Za ZaboromSomeone’s in prison, someone’s behind bars.
Gorod Tikho Pishet PrigovoryThe city quietly writes its sentences.
Black Yard Nad DomamiThe Black Yard hangs over the houses,
Svodit Balansy Iz Karmy I Bolibalancing out the karma and the pain.
Tut Znayut Kak Pakhnut RiskiHere, they know what risks smell like.
Chyornym Po Belomu My Ne Iz KnizhekBlack on white, we aren’t from books.
Ulitsy Pomnyat Podoshvy I LitsaThe streets remember the shoe soles and the faces.
Tut Za Slova Mogut Ne IzvinitsyaHere, they might not apologize for their words.
Ne Svyatye Ne Zveri ProstoWe aren’t saints, we aren’t beasts, just
Deti Rayonov S Chyornykh Dvorovneighborhood kids from the black yards.
Snachala Mechty Potom Gryaz Na KrossovkakhFirst there are dreams, then dirt on the sneakers.
Zhizn Borba Nado Borotsya ZhyostkoLife is a struggle, you have to fight hard.
Segodnya Khishchnik Zavtra MishenToday you’re a predator, tomorrow you’re a target.
Sistema Ne Vidit Imyon I IdeyThe system doesn’t see names and ideas.
Te Samye Khroniki Dney I NocheyThese are the same chronicles of days and nights,
Everybody Everydayeverybody, everyday.
V Odin Moment Kazhdyy Iz NasIn a single moment, each one of us
Perestupaet Chertucrosses the line.
Kogo To Konvoi Etapy VezutSome are taken away by prison transports.
Kholodnyy Raschyot Zamknutyy KrugCold calculation, it’s a vicious circle.
Shakh Ili Mat Na Chyornom BumereCheck or checkmate, riding in a black ‘Bimmer’.
Proletaet BumerangThe boomerang flies back.
Videli Vzlyoty Videli KrakhWe’ve seen the highs, we’ve seen the crash.
Kak Shansy Menyalis Na StrakhHow chances turned into fear.
Tak Esli Stoish Na KrayuSo if you’re standing on the edge,
Podumay Kuda Vedyot Putthink about where this path leads.
Legko Poteryat Svoyu SutIt’s easy to lose your true essence,
Slozhno Vsyo Snova Vernutand it’s hard to get everything back again.
Sprosite U Tekh Kto Ne Vyshel Sprosite U MatereyAsk those who never made it out, ask the mothers.
Zdes Net Pobediteley Est Tolko Teni LyudeyThere are no winners here, there are only shadows of people.
Sprosite U Tekh Kto Ne Vyshel Sprosite U MatereyAsk those who never made it out, ask the mothers.
Zdes Net Pobediteley Est Tolko Teni LyudeyThere are no winners here, there are only shadows of people.
Pod Udarom Vskore Pod OblavoyUnder attack, soon caught in a raid,
Merknet Svet I Net Pokoyathe light fades and there’s no peace.
V Tikhiy Mrak Ukhodish S GolovoyYou go headfirst into the quiet gloom.
Dushu Spryatal Pryamo Za OkovyYou hid your soul right behind the shackles.
Na Pereputye Sdelay Vybor SvoyAt the crossroads, make your choice.
Tolko Ne Obozhgis IgroyJust don’t get burned by the game.
Ne Dopusti Perevorot KanoeDon’t let your canoe overturn.
