Губошлёп
Ленинград Lyrics

The song "Губошлёп" by Ленинград is a tribute to a former friend of the songwriter who used to be called Губошлёп (literally meaning lip-blind or lip-deaf). The friend was known for his talent in popular music, particularly in the hop-hip genre, and for entertaining people by singing even when he was drunk. The first verse describes this friend's habit of singing the song "Губошлёп" when he became heavily intoxicated. The chorus repeatedly tells Губошлёп not to stop, as if to encourage him to keep singing, even if he is no longer as skilled or coherent as he used to be.

The second verse explains that the songwriter or singer is reminded of Губошлёп's songs, whether he is feeling good or not, at any time of the day or night. The line "он был number one, король гопа-хип-хопа" translates to "he was number one, king of hop-hip", suggesting that Губошлёп was a talented musician who had earned recognition for his skills. However, the final verse says that Губошлёп's talent was ruined by his excessive drinking, which transformed him into a "frog mutant." The song ends with a repeat of the chorus, emphasizing the message that the singer wishes Губошлёп had kept singing despite his personal problems.
