The band's frontman is Сергей Шнуров (Sergey Shnurov). In 2005, its music was featured in the film Everything Is Illuminated, starring Elijah Wood.

In 2008 Leningrad disbanded. Its former members run Рубль and Spitfire. The band reunited in 2010.

У меня есть всё
Ленинград Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Иду по улице с довольной рожой,
Мне удивляется каждый прохожий.
На ногах сандали, на улице лето. Лето!

У меня есть всё! У него есть всё!
У меня есть всё! У него есть всё!
У меня есть всё! И ещё вот это.....

Полные-е-е карманы-ы-ы ма-а-рихуаны-ы-ы.
Полные-е-е карманы-ы-ы ма-а-рихуаны-ы-ы.

Иду по улице с довольной рожой,
Навстречу менты: "Попался,Серёжа!"
Ты что начальник, не серчай.
Какая трава? Какая трава? Я ваще не знаю что такое трава
А это? А это... А это - зелёный чай!

Полные-е-е карманы-ы-ы ма-а-рихуаны-ы-ы.
Полные-е-е карманы-ы-ы ма-а-рихуаны-ы-ы.
