Вояж [Voyage] [English translation]

Voyage!

Voyage!

Voyage!

Voyage! Voyage!1

All your girlfriends, those cunts,

Often go abroad

To post, as they say,

Piccies on Facebook,

Their mugs that have slimmed down

Find their fucking way to Instagram!

You and I will go as well,

On a last-minute offer!

We'll take a selfie on an iPhone

Against the Eiffel Tower!

Why the fuck else

Would we make our

Voyage!

We'll take a selfie on an iPhone

Voyage!

We'll have a fucking big trip, not worse

Than those bitches of yours.

We'll feed our faces with oysters for dinner

In a restaurant, from dishes!

We'll go by plane,

We'll buy drinks in a duty-free shop!

It's like, you're not the only fucking ones

To have drinks like discounted gin and tonic!

We'll take a selfie on an iPhone

Against the Eiffel Tower!

Why the fuck else

Would we make our

Voyage!

"Fuck, Seryoga, you're a really

Fucking awesome man!

Now you take your babes to Van Gogh exhibitions,

Then you take them to Gelendzhik!2

And now I feel

I'm in for trouble with Paris

Because I can't take my chick anywhere

Except maybe Yevpatoriy!3

She scrolls through the same feed,

The noose on my neck gets tighter

Because now she needs a dinner

At that place called the Eiffel Tower.

Oysters, wine, seriously?

She wants some fucking jam on it?

For fuck's sake, Seryozha,4

Keep a simpler face and don't release songs so often!"

We'll take a selfie on an iPhone

Against the Eiffel Tower!

Why the fuck else

Would we make our

Voyage!

Voyage!

I'll (voyage!) take a loan for the summer!

I have to pull off the trip!

(Voyage!) We're chilling out! Why the fuck not, it's summer!

Get hats from Sveta!5

(Voyage!) Mom will look after the cat!

We're going to our bloody enemies' place!

Hey (voyage!), let's sit down for a minute before the trip!6

We're heading to Paris, like in 1945!7

We'll take a selfie on an iPhone

Against the Eiffel Tower!

Why the fuck else

Would we make our
