Ты говорил [Ty govoril] [English translation]

You told me something quiet surreal

You told me life was about the joy of winning

You told me I had only a few years

To understand the darkness the light in life

You told me “Drain the glass,

There’s just one life, just one!”

You told me

You told me

You told me life was a race

You said “run, your time is so short”.

“Love is laughter”,

You told me, valuing only glory and success

“Money’s the only measure of value

And only the strong man get paid in full”

You told me

You told me

But one day a window opened

The free wind embraced me

I understood it was my destiny

To be happy, wandering the world

And I changed town

And was always happy

Yes, yes, yes, yes

Listen, baby, everything was decided long ago for me and you

They give, then take away, they hit and run, forget about heart, what you need is brains

Forget about everything, come back to me, and we’ll heal, like in a sweet dream

Love, why do you need dreams, just to fool yourself all over again

But the meaning of your words is unintelligible

To those who want to live without shackles

But one day a window opened

The free wind embraced me

I understood it was my destiny

To be happy, wandering the world

And I changed town

And was always happy

Yes, yes, yes, yes

You told me

You said that

But you just didn’t love me

You didn’t love me

You told me

You said that

But you just didn’t love me

You didn’t love me

You told me

You said that

But you just didn’t love me

You didn’t love me

And the road takes me further and further away

And already there’s no returning to you

I’ve been drunk on freedom for a long time

But still I can’t get my fill
