“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 ↴
И отхлынула тоска. Из-за туч пришли рассветы
Босоногий мальчуган запускает в небо змея
Нет, ребята, я не пьян. Я от радости хмелею
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя, ты моя
Одевалися сады в свои белые одежды
И цыганские костры запылали как и прежде
Вся весна в твоих глазах, все озера, горы, реки
И шаманы-колдуны. Будешь ты моей навеки!
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя, ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
.
Зорька багряная, клевера россыпи.
Будь нам ветер братом, будь река сестрой.
Зорька багряная, голыя-босые
Будь нам месяц сватом, будь луна кумой
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя, ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя, ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя, ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
Ты моя
The lyrics of Ляпис Трубецкой's song "Ты моя" paint a vivid picture of joy, love, and connection with nature. The opening lines describe a flowing river, singing birds heralding the arrival of summer, and a sense of longing dissipating with the break of dawn. The imagery of a barefoot boy flying a kite into the sky symbolizes a carefree and innocent joy that the singer is feeling. Despite the mention of not being drunk, the singer declares that they are intoxicated with happiness, emphasizing the euphoria they are experiencing.
The repetitive chorus "Ты моя" reinforces the central theme of the song, where the singer addresses their beloved as "You are mine." This repetition conveys a sense of certainty and ownership over the relationship, as if the singer is claiming their love and devotion to the other person. It exudes a sense of passion and dedication, underscoring the depth of the connection between the singer and their beloved.
The following verses continue to evoke a pastoral and romantic setting, with references to blossoming gardens, gypsy bonfires, and the natural beauty reflected in the eyes of the beloved. The mention of shamans and sorcerers hints at a mystical and spiritual dimension to the relationship, suggesting a union that transcends the mundane and taps into a deeper, metaphysical connection. The singer expresses a desire for their beloved to be theirs forever, invoking a sense of eternal love and commitment.
The final stanza brings in celestial imagery, likening the dawn to a crimson glow and calling on elements of nature to symbolize unity and harmony in the relationship. The references to the wind as a brother, the river as a sister, the moon as a matchmaker, and the moon as a bridesmaid all create a sense of cosmic alignment and interconnectedness. The repeated declaration of "Ты моя" at the end serves as a powerful affirmation of love and belonging, encapsulating the overarching sentiment of the song. Overall, "Ты моя" conveys a sense of profound love, connection, and timeless devotion that transcends the ordinary and finds beauty and meaning in the natural world.

Кто еще не понял, это воспевание не женщине, не любимому человеку/милой сердца... это песнь родине возможно даже всей матушке земле.
Зорька богряная, Голые босые.
Месяц сват а луна Кума
Он с тобою до конца Родная...
