Феникс [Feniks] [English translation]

For me, meaning is more important that music, friendship more than money

Like a phoenix I rise from the ashes, burning up into ash

I don't give a shit about the price tag on your (....) (1)

Talk, if your tongue is worse than a broom, (...) won't save you (2)

I remember the trumpets and bells,

Red New Era has become too small for me with time.

I'm a nice guy and sometimes there's not enough anger

for those who lie first, but then stick to me like tar.

We became sweet, like pastilles,

Where are those great writers, who were praised?

Many were stopped by (... [shala]) from reaching the finish, (3)

The decorations have dropped, and now there's no home.

That which hasn't killed me, threw me from the saddle,

But I found strength within myself and bit the reigns.

I'm like a phoenix rising from the ashes, burning up into ash.

We drink life from the bottle, whatever comes.

Chorus:

When I'm thrown onto the shore, like a fish,

Doors close in my face.

I don't turn off the recorder,

Music is what I believe in.

A word isn't a bird, it's a bullet in the barell, (4)

once it flies out, you can't catch it, you know, that's how it is.

How many unpublished geniuses in closed table drawers,

Quit their craft, making tight knots (5)

Raps gets you drunker than alcohol

The vinyl player's needle puts ink under the skin

Like a phoenix I rise from the ashes, burning up into ash

To leave more after myself than just smoke and soot

They don't remember the one who passed the ball, they remember the one who scored the goal.

Music will give itself to you, or leave you naked.

Glass skyscrapers hide the church tops,

And we spin like a top among the fun-house mirrors

Culture became garbage and went the wrong way

Rap in Russian without meaning is like a bee that can't sting

It's like we've been hit with a sack from behind the corner

But I believe daybreak will come and darkness will fade.
