Солдат
5'nizza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

У-е, у-е, у-е...
Я - солдат,
Я не спал пять лет
и у меня под глазами мешки
Я сам не видел,
но мне так сказали vf
Я - солдат
и у меня нет башки,
мне отбили её сапогами
Ё-ё-ё, комбат орёт,



разорванный рот у комбата
Потому что граната...
Белая вата,
красная вата не лечит солдата

Я - солдат,
недоношеный ребенок войны
Я - солдат,
мама залечи мои раны
Я - солдат,
солдат забытой богом страны
Я - герой
скажите мне какого романа

О, о-о-о

Я - солдат,
мне обидно когда остаётся один патрон,
Только я или он
Последний вагон,
самогон,
нас таких миллион
в ООООН
Я - солдат
и я знаю свое дело,
мое дело стрелять,
чтобы пуля попала
в тело врага
Эта рагга для тебя мама-война,
теперь ты довольна?

Я - солдат,
недоношенный ребенок войны
Я - солдат,
мама залечи мои раны
Я - солдат,
солдат забытой богом страны
Я - герой
скажите мне какого романа

I'm a souldja...I'm a souldja...
I'm a souldja...I'm a souldja...
I'm a soul jah...
soul jah...
soul jah-jahаааааа

Я - солдат, недоношенный ребенок войны
Я - солдат, мама залечи мои раны
Я - солдат, солдат забытой богом страны
Я - герой, скажите мне какого романа?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 5'nizza's song Солдат describe the experiences of a soldier who has not slept in five years and has bags under his eyes as a result. The soldier's head has been "bashed in" with boots, and a combat officer screams in pain with a torn mouth because of a grenade. The soldier is surrounded by white and red cotton that does not heal him. He is a "forgotten child of war" and a hero, who asks what story he belongs to. The soldier is bitter, knowing that he might have to fight with only one bullet, and he, like millions of others, is the last resort of the military. He knows his duty is to shoot and kill his enemies. The song ends with the soldier pleading with his mother to heal his wounds, and he asks what story he belongs to.


The lyrics describe the experiences of a soldier and the harsh realities of war. The soldier is physically and emotionally scarred and is fighting in a forgotten war. The soldier feels used for his abilities to kill, and he has no idea what the context of the war is.
