Sheena: Could I have a very brief translation of this great number that is sung with such passion.

OMG. Sorry, Peter — with all respect due, this one definitely has nothing to do with protest or anti-establishment. I'm not telling it isn't nice but compared to this one, even Sekret sounds like true punk. Not that i mind, just to explain the situation.
Translation (an attempt at).

I don't believe you
M:
Too dark in the room, way too dark...
Too much emptiness, i've become one too many.
No way to run, you've had time
To tell me all you wanted to.

F:
A wind outside the window, as usually,
Drifts the clouds as if [he's been doing that] with the help of a match,
The sun will be lighting the sky,
And there'll be the day where you haven't been.

Both:
You're looking me in the eye,
What a long time for lies!
It's easier to say it -
That love was a fire-fight of souls,
I'm bored!

Refrain:
I don't believe you,
You're a dream of yesterday
Predicting tears to me.
I don't believe you,
You're a past winter's snow that's melted long ago.
I don't believe you,
You're a sun drowned in cold water,
I don't believe you,
You're everything i've had
But i don't believe you.

F:
Our birds have hidden themselves in the forest.
Rip up the time, burn the pages
Telling about us,
Where i've managed to become your infinite yearning.

WOW! What a song. It's powerful and soulful and yet it is so soothing at the same time. I love it. This is going to be my favourite foreign language song for quite a while I can tell that already. It's definitely not punk though.

Yeah......... I like it too! Love the bass tone and where it is in the mix.... simple - just right IMO and adds to the power of the song.

Now I know what "I don't believe you" is in Russian!!

Sheena: Thanks, now I love it even more. Sorry about the poor choice for this forum. I will consider it Russian Rock and Roll for the time being and have moved it to It's Only Rock 'n Roll, But I Like It.
