до предела [do predela] [English translation]

[Intro]

Huh, huh, huh.

Huh (huh, huh).

[Verse 1, Valeriya]:

I never do anything on time,

Losing, as if for the first time,

My love—and now, without shedding a tear,

I'm stamping on the gas.

[Maxim Fadeev]:

Faces and moments keep flashing by,

But only about a century later

I come to realize with regret—

That was the person I loved.

[Chorus]:

How could you, going flat out through life,

Spot telling signs of a single second—

The one when you truly felt it,

The one that is like no other in the world?

How could you, going flat out through life,

Spot telling signs of a single second—

The one when you truly felt it,

The one that is like no other in the world…?

[Post-chorus, a vocalise: Maxim Fadeev]:

Yeah-eh-eh-hey…

[Verse 2, Maxim Fadeev]:

I'm trying to make the planet go backwards,

Stamping on the brakes.

I'm storming back into that summer,

Seeking her eyes in the crowd.

[Valeriya]:

And, having wasted another two centuries or so,

Having reclaimed the moment when I fell in love…1

But life goes on—

It's me who's been standing still.

[Chorus]:

How could you, going flat out through life,

Spot telling signs of a single second—

The one when you truly felt it,

The one that is like no other in the world?

How could you, going flat out through life,

Spot telling signs of a single second—

The one when you truly felt it,

The one that is like no other in the world…?

[Bridge]:

The one—a single one…

The one—a single one…

Hoo-ooh-ooh!

[Chorus]:

How could you, going flat out through life,

Spot telling signs of a single second—

The one when you truly felt it,

The one that is like no other in the world?

How could you, going flat out through life,

Spot telling signs of a single second—

The one when you truly felt it,

The one that is like no other in the world…?

[Outro]:

Yeah-huh-huh-huh…

The one—a single one.

Hoo-ooh-ooh.

Hoo-ooh-ooh.

1. The original lines are just as awkward in terms of grammar. The lines feel like unfinished sentences. Which is why I chose to end them with an ellipsis.
