History
In 1982, Komsomolskaya Pravda declared a competition for young music performers called Zolotoy Kamerton (Golden Tuning Fork). DDT sent three compositions, "Inoplanetyane" (Aliens), "Chyornoye solntse" (Black sun), and "Ne strelyai" (Don't shoot).
During the long-running competition, the group published their first album (on tape), Svinya na raduge (A pig on a rainbow). The album contained elements of rock and roll, blues and country music.
DDT's submission to Zolotoy Kamerton passed through to the finals and the group was invited to perform in a concert at Moscow's Orlyonok complex, together with the other finalist band, Rok-sentyabr (Rock-September) from Cherepovets. DDT and three members of Rock-September, Vyacheslav Korbin, Yevgeny Belozyorov and Andrey Maslennikov, soon after recorded and published an album (on tape), Monolog v Saigone (Monologue in Saigon).
After recording the album, Sigachyov and Shevchuk returned to Ufa. Sigachyov distanced himself from the group, while Shevchuk collected new members including Rodin, drummer Sergey Rudogo, guitarist Rustam Rezvanov and keyboard player Vladislav Strochillo.
In May 1983, DDT successfully performed at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, as part of a three-day, sanctioned festival, "Rok za mir" (Rock for peace).
The new formation published the album Periferia (Periphery), recorded in April 1984.
Shevchuk spent some time in Sverdlovsk (present-day Yekaterinburg), performing with the group Urfin Juis.
In November 1985, DDT recorded the album Vremya (Time) in Sverdlovsk.
In 1986, Shevchuk moved to Leningrad (present Saint Petersburg) with his wife, son and mother.
In 1987 he rebuilt DDT. The members included:
* Nikita Zaitsev — guitar
* Vadim Kurylev — bass
* Andrey Vasiliev — guitar
* Igor Dotsenko — drums
* Andrey Muratov — keyboard
* Mikhail Chernov — saxophone
In June 1987, DDT performed at a Leningrad rock-club festival. DDT performed second-to-last and in front of a crowd of 3,000, even though the venue's capacity was 1,000.
In the summer of 1988, DDT toured across the USSR, and they record a new album, Ottepel (Thaw).
In 1989, DDT went on another tour with the group Alisa, performing also at a rock-festival in Hungary.
In 1990, DDT performed several concerts in the U.S.A. and Japan. They also performed as part of a concert in honor of Viktor Tsoy.
In 1991, DDT released another album, Plastun (Scout). The next album followed in the spring of the same year, Aktrisa Vesna (Actress Spring).
Then the group changed its performance strategy by adding programmes to its repertoire: well-prepared, conceptually linked concerts. During December 1992 and January 1993, DDT presented its first programme, Chyorny Pyos Peterburg (Black Dog Petersburg), and toured widely in CIS countries.
On 27 May 1993, the anniversary of Saint Petersburg, DDT performed a free concert on Dvortsovaya Square. 120,000 people attended.
During the summer of 1994, DDT took part in the rock festival White Nights of Saint Petersburg in Berlin. That autumn, the group was awarded the prestigious Ovatsiya award (Ovation) for Best Rock Group of the Year. Yuri Shevchuk was also named Best Rock Musician of the Year.
In the beginning of 1995, a new album, Eto vsyo… (That's all…). was recorded. In January, Shevchuk went on a mission of peace to Chechnya, where he performed in 50 concerts for the Russian troops and Chechen citizens alike.
On 25 June 1995, DDT performed a solo concert in Petrovsky stadium, which attracted tens of thousands of fans.
Afterwards, the group toured with its next programme, Ot i do (From start to finish). In the end of the winter of 1995–1996, the group worked in the USA. In February–March 1996, the group recorded a new album, Lubov (Love), at Long View Farm in Massachusetts with new musicians: bassist I. Tikhomirov (from the group Kino) and keyboard player D. Galitsky.
Bio (extended)
Yuri Shevchuk and the Russian rock group "DDT" have been leaders in the Russian rock movement for many years. Shevchuk began to put together the first incarnation of the band in the summer of 1980, and although its members have changed over the years.
DDT was organized and gave its first concerts in Shevchuk's native city of Ufa in the Ural Mountains in 1980. They received their first public recognition when they were given the "Golden Pitchpipe" prize for their song "Ne Strelyai" (Don't Shoot) in 1982 by a local newspaper.
They made their first visit to the U.S.A. in 1988, when their concert in Los Angeles was covered by MTV. After the U.S.S.R.'s dissoultion in 1991, DDT became more popular at home and abroad.
Today, DDT is one of the most popular rock groups in Russia, and their concerts attract tens of thousands of people. Shevchuk and his group also regularly travel throughout the C.I.S. and other former Soviet republics to give benefit concerts: in the spring and summer of 2002, 10 out of 11 concerts that the band played were benefits for various social and cultural organizations. They are also reaching an ever-growing audience in the U.S.A. and Europe.

ДДТ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
У воды нет ни смерти, ни дна... Я прощаюсь с тобой
Горсть тепла после долгой зимы донесем... Пять минут до утра
Доживем... Наше море вины поглощает время-дыра
Это все, что останется после меня...
Это все, что возьму я с собой...
Ты такой хорошей была, посмотри на меня, не молчи
Крики чайки на белой стене окольцованы черной луной
Нарисуй что нибудь на окне и шепни на прощанье рекой
Это все, что останется после меня...
Это все, что возьму я с собой...
Это все, что останется после меня...
Это все, что возьму я с собой...
Две мечты да печали стакан мы, воскреснув, допили до дна
Я не знаю, зачем тебе дан... Правит мною дорога-Луна
Ты не плачь,если можешь - прости, жизнь не сахар, а смерть нам не чай
Мне свою дорогу нести, до свидания, друг, и прощай!
Это все, что останется после меня...
Это все, что возьму я с собой...
The lyrics of ДДТ's song Это всё represents a farewell letter to a loved one. The pale leaves over the windows symbolize the passing of time and the inevitability of change. The transparent water that overtakes them signifies the unknown and unpredictable future that the singer is facing. But in the midst of this uncertainty, they offer a handful of warmth, symbolizing the memories shared with the person they are addressing. The reference to time as a "hole" that consumes our guilt implies that the singer is carrying some regret or remorse within him that he knows he won't be able to get rid of.
The second stanza is more emotional, as the singer asks for forgiveness and apologizes for any pain he might have caused throughout their relationship. The reference to a seagull's cries encircled by the black moon may represent feelings of loneliness and despair despite being surrounded by beauty. Finally, the singer urges the person to not cry and forgive him if possible because life is not easy, and death is not a way to alleviate suffering.
The song's overall melancholy tone conveys the feeling of letting go, acknowledging that everything comes to an end, even love. The lyrics' imagery is poetic and enhances the song's contemplative mood, emphasizing the need to cherish memories and make peace with the inevitability of change.

Побледневшие листья окна зарастают прозрачной водой
The pale leaves on the window are overgrown with transparent water
У воды нет ни смерти, ни дна... Я прощаюсь с тобой
Water has neither death nor bottom... I am saying goodbye to you
Горсть тепла после долгой зимы донесем... Пять минут до утра
We will bring a handful of warmth after a long winter... Five minutes before dawn
Доживем... Наше море вины поглощает время-дыра
We will survive... Our sea of guilt is consumed by a time hole
Это все, что останется после меня...
This is all that will remain after me...
Это все, что возьму я с собой...
This is all that I will take with me...
С нами Память сидит у стола, а в руке ее пламя свечи
Memory sits at the table with us, and in her hand is the flame of a candle
Ты такой хорошей была, посмотри на меня, не молчи
You were so good, look at me, don't be silent
Крики чайки на белой стене окольцованы черной луной
The seagulls' cries on the white wall are encircled by a black moon
Нарисуй что нибудь на окне и шепни на прощанье рекой
Draw something on the window and whisper goodbye like a river
Две мечты да печали стакан мы, воскреснув, допили до дна
Two dreams and sadness, we finished the glass to the bottom by resurrecting
Я не знаю, зачем тебе дан... Правит мною дорога-Луна
I don't know why you were given... The road-moon rules me
Ты не плачь,если можешь - прости, жизнь не сахар, а смерть нам не чай
Don't cry if you can - forgive, life is not sugar, and death is not tea for us
Мне свою дорогу нести, до свидания, друг, и прощай!
To carry my own way, goodbye friend, and goodbye!
Это все, что останется после меня...
This is all that will remain after me...
Это все, что возьму я с собой...
This is all that I will take with me...

Друзья, я думаю, что данный коментарий никто не просмотрит, но все же хочу кое-что рассказать. Мне 16 лет, я являюсь любителем рок музыки, для меня русский рок-это отдельная строфа в этом жанре, такие культовые группы по типу ДДТ,Король и Шут, Агата Кристи, Наутилус и прочие-услада для ушей. Но данная песня и в особенности этот ролик-то, что нельзя передать словами. Когда я первый раз послушал, я признаюсь честно у меня были слезы на глазах. Это невероятно красивая песня. Я выражаю огромную благодарность команде Юрия Шевчука за то, что они оставили огромный след в истории русской рок музыки. Счастья и здоровья вам, Юрий. Если кто-то прочитал, то здоровья тебе, друг!🤟
