Бета-каротин
Бумбокс Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Замішані з тобою ми як фанк із джазом.
Навіщо дутись, кого позбутись?
Як не хотів не можу я тебе забути.
Обов’язково в мовчанку грати,
Так нам і треба один одної ми варті.
Можливо з іншим, тікав би краще.
Приспів:
Мій відвертий каротин бета,
Я питав у нуль-один, де ти?
У мережі під чужим ніком,
У яке кричати з цих вікон?
Усе й одразу, купуй заразу.
Я слів не пам’ятаю ні фіга, ні разу.
Лєну олію кіло багаття.
Яка мені різниця Свєта ти чи Катя?!
Обов’язково в мовчанку грати,
Ти запроторюєш мене за скляні грати.
В приваті з іншим, тікав би краще.
Ну все, не забувай! Телефонуй, ледащо.

The lyrics in "Бета-Каротин" by Бумбокс are about a conflicted and complicated relationship between two people. The first verse starts with the singer telling the other person to forget about any past issues and that they are together again. They are like a mixture of funk and jazz, meaning that their relationship is unique and blends together well. The singer questions why they should be upset with each other and wonders why they would want to get rid of each other. Even though he didn't want it to happen, the singer can't forget about the other person.
The second verse speaks about the need to keep things quiet and play along. They are worth each other's time and they should stick together. The singer admits that he may have run away with someone else but he reminds the other person to call him. The chorus is about the singer's "beta-carotene", meaning that he opens up and shows his true colors to the other person. He asks where she is and how he can find her, but he can only find her under a different name on the internet. He wonders where they can shout out from the windows together.
Overall, the song deals with the complexities of relationships and how sometimes love can be confusing and difficult to navigate. It talks about the need to communicate and not give up on each other. The use of metaphors, such as "beta-carotene" and "funk and jazz", creates a unique and playful tone to the song.

Замішані з тобою ми як фанк із джазом.
We are mixed together like funk and jazz with you.
Навіщо дутись, кого позбутись?
Why pretend, who to get rid of?
Як не хотів не можу я тебе забути.
No matter how hard I try, I can't forget you.
Обов’язково в мовчанку грати,
We must play silently.
Так нам і треба один одної ми варті.
That's how we need it, we are worth it to each other.
Можливо з іншим, тікав би краще.
Perhaps I would have run away with someone else.
Ну все, не забувай! Телефонуй, ледащо.
Well, don't forget! Call me, lazy.
Мій відвертий каротин бета,
My candid beta-carotene,
Я питав у нуль-один, де ти?
I asked in binary, where are you?
У мережі під чужим ніком,
Under someone else's nickname in the network,
У яке кричати з цих вікон?
What to shout from these windows?
Усе й одразу, купуй заразу.
Everything right away, buy the infection.
Я слів не пам’ятаю ні фіга, ні разу.
I don't remember any damn or any time.
Лєну олію кіло багаття.
Pouring oil on the fire.
Яка мені різниця Свєта ти чи Катя?!
What difference does it make to me, Sveta or Katya?!
Ти запроторюєш мене за скляні грати.
You will imprison me behind glass bars.
В приваті з іншим, тікав би краще.
I would have run away with someone else in private.
Ну все, не забувай! Телефонуй, ледащо.
Well, don't forget! Call me, lazy.
