Мысли

Мысли Lyrics English Translation by Сергей Нихаенко
The lyricist asks why we can’t love for no reason. He describes bloodied hands and empty cities, showing the cost of fighting both the world and oneself. The image of steel chains stopping flight illustrates how fear traps the spirit. Trusting actions over words becomes a guiding rule.
Ne ver nikomuDon’t trust anyone.
Penyay na sebyaBlame no one but yourself.
Postav vso na konPut everything on the line.
Risknut v etoy zhizni nadoYou’ve got to take a risk in this life.
I znaya sebya ostavish vso takAnd knowing yourself, you’ll leave it all like this,
V pustykh gorodakh gde vso v tupikakh i sploshnykh pregradakhin empty cities where every path is a dead end and a barrier.
Boy s samim soboy kogda protiv vsekhIt’s a battle with yourself when you’re against everyone,
Kogda ruki v krov no ne tvoy uspekhwhen your hands are bloodied, but the success isn’t yours.
Kogda vse vokrug izmenyayet tsvetWhen everything around you changes color,
Khotel uvidet pravdu tam gde yeyo netyou wanted to see the truth where it doesn’t exist.
Iz stalnykh okov vyshe oblakovFrom steel chains to high above the clouds,
Ne dayut vzletet tvoi truslivyye mysliyour cowardly thoughts won’t let you fly.
Nu pochemu nelzya prosto tak lyubitSo why can’t we just love for no reason,
Prosto tak prostitjust forgive for no reason,
Umerev ozhit upav gryaz ostatsya chistymdie and come back to life, and stay clean after falling in the mud?
Prosto otpustit pochemuWhy can’t we just let it go?
Prosto vso zabyt pochemuWhy can’t we just forget it all,
Perezagruzit te dni chto v tebe zavisliand reboot those days that are frozen inside you?
Yesli chego i zhdu to tolko ot sebyaIf I’m waiting for anything, I only wait on myself;
Drugiye vryad li uzhe udivyatothers aren’t likely to surprise me anymore.
Kalendarya daty letyat smenyayut chislaCalendar dates fly by and the numbers change.
Ya videl to kak travit yad truslivykh mysleyI’ve seen how the poison of cowardly thoughts rots a soul.
Kak on po zhilam postupayet v razum veryu postupkam a ne lzhivym frazamAs it flows through the veins to the mind, I trust actions, not lying phrases,
V lyudey i v pravdu ne teryaya verunever losing my faith in people and the truth.
I tem komu ne obkhodimo khochu byt primeromAnd for those who need it, I want to be an example.
Nerv nakalyonnyy do predela vysekayet iskry tut stali putat chernyy s belym na puti ternistomA nerve strained to the limit sparks as people confuse black with white on this thorny path.
Chyo ime posle budet v titrakh a chyo kanet v letuWhose name will be in the credits later, and whose will fade into the void?
Ya snova zadayu voprosy v poiskakh otvetaI’m asking questions again, searching for an answer.
Nu pochemu nelzya prosto tak lyubit prosto tak prostit umerev ozhit upav v gryaz ostatsya chistymSo why can’t we just love for no reason, just forgive for no reason, die and come back to life, and stay clean after falling in the mud?
Prosto otpustit pochemuWhy can’t we just let it go?
Prosto vso zabyt pochemuWhy can’t we just forget it all,
Perezagruzit te dni chto v tebe zavisliand reboot those days that are frozen inside you?
Boy s samim soboy kogda protiv vsekhIt’s a battle with yourself when you’re against everyone,
Kogda ruki v krov no ne tvoy uspekhwhen your hands are bloodied, but the success isn’t yours.
Kogda vse vokrug izmenyayet tsvetWhen everything around you changes color,
Khotel uvidet pravduI wanted to see the truth.
