“We came from the underground and became popular with our pop-culture parodies. One day to my horror I realized that our group has become similar to the objects of our parodies and mockery. We were starting to merge with all those pop-star crowd, but I’m not one of them and never wanted to be,” - Sergey Mikhalok, the band’s leader says. He admits that it wasn’t so easy to give up the show business game and become independent once again.
According to him, “it was very difficult to get our true essence back on top. And the thing wasn’t about any contracts. We had to overcome public opinion and, most importantly, set our own minds free. At first, my internal discomfort from the gap between the authentic “Lyapis Trubetskoy” and its public image was relieved by hard drinking and other stuff, but when my weight peaked at 110 kilograms and my mind was about to collapse, I gave up everything, lost 25 kilograms and started to play the music I like.”
“Capital” is the second independent album by “Lyapis Trubetskoy” after the “Zoloty’ye yaytsy” (“Golden Balls”) created in 2004 under heavy reggae and ska influence. “While working on “Zoloty’ye yaytsy” we didn’t understand what to do with our independence. As a result there were some reflex attempts to score a radio hit with “Rain’ka” or “Pochtal’iony” (“Postmen”), - Sergey Mikhalok says. – But this wasn’t the biggest problem. The whole album was overproduced, we tried to mix too many styles, musical instruments and sounds in it. So, we paid too much attention to the form instead of the essence. We were in need of a real professional who could tell us what was good and what was too much.”
That is why searching for a sound producer was one of the main tasks while working on “Capital”. At some point the band wanted to record their album in London, in the hometown the legendary British ska-band “Madness” (one of Mihalok’s favourites). When almost everything was ready for that, a chance interfered. At a concert in Kiev “Lyapis Trubetskoy” met a famous Ukrainian sound producer Vitaliy Telezin. He worked with “Okean El’zi”, “Brat’ia Grim” and other top Ukrainian/Russian artists. But it wasn’t the thing that attracted Mikhalok and his friends.
“We are from the same generation with him, we had common world outlook, we liked the same music. And it was the music we wanted to record on our new album. I don’t want to offend anyone, but, roughly speaking, for our band he is the first studio guy who didn’t need explanations about what is California wave or how “Green Day” and “Offspring” make their sound,” - Mikhalok says.
And this combination has worked perfectly well. Now it’s already clear that the new album will mean to the band and its fans no less than the legendary “Ty kinula” (“You Gave Me Up”) in 1998 and will give a rise to the new popularity wave for “Lyapis Trubetskoy”. Still, according to Sergey Mikhalok, the ideology of both the new album and the present group is different from what used to be in the years between these two landmarks. He says: “When I started my career I used to write songs that changed me and the world around me, but later I began to create stuff, that didn’t have influence either on me or the world around. At best those songs could be a soundtrack for some wedding or birthday. And what is horrible at some point I even used to be proud of that. But now I have come back to what everything started from – to a mix of biting satire and powerful chords.”
Video clips have played an important role in the album presentation. The first clip for the song “Hare” (“Enough”), a cheerful wedding trash-video, was filmed by a famous actor and new wave director Vladimir Epifantsev. The second clip, animation video “Capital”, which has become a real Internet sensation, was made by Aleksey Terekhov, co-author of the legendary “Au” (1998) and “Rozochka” (1999) videos. "Capital" has hardly appeared on TV, but has already won several prizes and got a lot of nominations on the different video & music festivals in Russia, Belarus, Portugal and so on.
Frontman Siarhei Mikhalok anounced mid-March 2014 that the group would ceased to exist the next 1 September.

Ляпис Трубецкой Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Дождевую воду пью, ничего не кушаю
Бросил в институт ходить, завалил экзамены
С корешами бросил пить - стал как будто раненый
Появилась в жизни цель другая
Повстречалась мне девчонка Рая
Позабыл своих я друзей-подруг
Яблонька моя, яблонька моя, Раинька
Веточка моя, веточка моя аленькая
.
От любви совсем усох словно завороженный
По театрам стал ходить, полюбил мороженое
Не курю, побрил усы. Стал похож на Губина
Что ты делаешь со мной - молодость загублена
Жизнь в аду изменилась вдруг
Позабыл своих я друзей-подруг
Яблонька моя, яблонька моя, Раинька
Веточка моя, веточка моя аленькая
Яблонька моя, яблонька моя, Раинька
Веточка моя, веточка моя аленькая
.
Яблонька моя, яблонька моя, Раинька
Веточка моя, веточка моя аленькая
Яблонька моя, яблонька моя, Раинька
Веточка моя, веточка моя аленькая
Аленькая (аленькая)
Аленькая (аленькая)
Аленькая (аленькая)
Аленькая (аленькая)
The song "Раинька" by Ляпис Трубецкой talks about a man who has given up on his old way of life and found a new purpose after meeting a girl named Raya. The lyrics describe the changes he has undergone; he no longer watches television, listens to the radio, or eats regular meals. He has abandoned his studies at the institute and his drinking habits. The man's life has been transformed from being a dismal existence to a fulfilling one.
The song's refrain, "Яблонька моя, яблонька моя, Раинька, Веточка моя, веточка моя аленькая" translates to "My apple tree, my apple tree, Raya, My little branch, my little red one," indicating that the man views the girl as a source of comfort and hope in his life. Rain also seems to be a prominent symbol in the song, possibly representing a sense of renewal or cleansing.
Overall, the lyrics of "Раинька" depict the power of love and the transformative effect it can have on someone's life.

Телевизор не смотрю, радио не слушаю
I don't watch TV, I don't listen to the radio
Дождевую воду пью, ничего не кушаю
I drink rainwater, I eat nothing
Бросил в институт ходить, завалил экзамены
I stopped attending college, I failed exams
С корешами бросил пить - стал как будто раненый
I quit drinking with friends, I felt wounded
Появилась в жизни цель другая
Another goal appeared in my life
Повстречалась мне девчонка Рая
I met a girl called Raya
Жизнь в аду изменилась вдруг
Life in hell suddenly changed
Позабыл своих я друзей-подруг
I forgot my friends, my girlfriends
Яблонька моя, яблонька моя, Раинька
My apple tree, my apple tree, Rainka
Веточка моя, веточка моя аленькая
My little branch, my little red one
От любви совсем усох словно завороженный
Dried up from love as if enchanted
По театрам стал ходить, полюбил мороженое
Started going to the theaters, fell in love with ice cream
Не курю, побрил усы. Стал похож на Губина
I stopped smoking, shaved my mustache. Resembled Gubin
Что ты делаешь со мной - молодость загублена
What have you done to me - my youth is ruined

Texto De Lapis Trubetskoy-Rainka
No veo televisión, no escucho Radio.
Bebo agua de lluvia, no comí nada.
Dejó el Instituto para ir, bloqueó los exámenes.
Con amigos dejó de beber, se convirtió en como si estuviera herido.
Estribillo:
Apareció en la vida un propósito diferente -
me encontré con la chica del Paraíso.
La vida a su alrededor cambió de repente.
Olvidé a mis amigos y amigas.
Mi Manzano, mi Manzano-Rainka
mi ramita, mi ramita escarlata
De amor se encogió completamente, como encantado
Comenzó a caminar por los teatros, me encantó el helado.
No fumo, me afeité el bigote, me volví como un labio(cantante)
¡Qué me estás haciendo, la juventud está arruinada!
