It was formed in Belarus in 1988 by Leva (Yegor Bortnik) and Shura (Alexander Uman), who both took the surname BI-2. BI originally was the abbreviation of "Bereg Istini" ("Shores of truth"), the previous name of the band. In the early years the band was playing punk rock music.

In 1991 BI-2 moved to Israel and disbanded in 1993. Shura moved to Australia where he joined a darkwave band, Chiron. He invited Leva to join it in 1996. Chiron was an obscure band, featuring vocals by Michael Aliani. Some of the Chiron songs were re-recorded and re-released in 2006 as the album "Chiron" by BI-2, with Leva's vocals.

In 1998 Leva and Shura moved to Russia to conquer the rock scene. They participated in the soundtrack for the Брат 2 ("Brother II") movie by Alexey Balabanov, and soon became one of the most popular rock bands. In 2005 BI-2 together with Mихаил Карасев (Mikhail Karasev) (BI-2's lyrics writer and Shura's uncle) released the Нечётный Воин ("Odd Warrior") project, joined by many Russian rock and pop artists.

Фавн Dj
Би-2 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ты ангел и держишь меня
На грани страсти и кротости
Я так счастлив в объятьях
Над самой роскошной из пропастей

Под дождем
Неоновых огней так глаза горят
Мир – танцпол, и я его ди-джей

Ставлю все подряд

.

Печать и иероглиф
Заметны при лунном свете
По рассыпанным лепесткам
Ты, улыбаясь, идешь мне навстречу

Под дождем
Неоновых огней так глаза горят
Мир – танцпол, и я его DJ
Ставлю все подряд

.

Лукавого фавна
Коснувшись будто бы невзначай
О-о-оберегать твой сон не приглашай
Не приручай

Под дождем
Неоновых огней так глаза горят
Мир – танцпол, и я его DJ
Ставлю все подряд

Под дождем
Неоновых огней так глаза горят

Мир – танцпол, и я его ди-джей
Ставлю все подряд
