“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.

Я Верю
Ляпис Трубецкой Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Их друг Гелиос гордился работой
Всю неделю будет жара
Эльфийский оракул следил за погодой
Карлик небесный - крылатый Колибри
Любил на заре напиться росою
Зебры, кентавры, волки и тигры
Я верю в Иисуса Христа
Я верю в Гаутаму Будду
Я верю в пророка Мухаммеда
Я верю в Кришну, я верю в Гаруду
Я верю в Иисуса Христа
Верю в Гаутаму Будду
я верю Джа, я верю Джа
Я верю Джа и верить буду
Хромой Вулкан разводит огонь
Тору нужен кованый молот
Единый Творец держит ладонь
над картой жизни, где будет город
Легенды делают нас мудрей
Мы чувствуем пульс единой вселенной
Апостол Пётр - хранитель ключей
В волшебном танце с Прекрасной Еленой
Я верю в Иисуса Христа
Я верю в Гаутаму Будду
Я верю в пророка Мухаммеда
Я верю в Кришну, я верю в Гаруду
Я верю в Иисуса Христа
Верю в Гаутаму Будду

я верю Джа, я верю в Любовь
Я верю в Добро и верить буду
И верить буду
И верить буду
И верить буду
The song "Я Верю" by Ляпис Трубецкой is about the belief in different gods and prophets, and the idea that legends make us wiser and connect us to the universe. The first verse starts with Adam and Eve waking up in the morning, while their friend Helios takes pride in his work, and an elvish oracle predicts the weather. The song then talks about a heavenly dwarf, a winged hummingbird named Kolibri, who enjoyed drinking dew at dawn. Myths about zebras, centaurs, wolves, and tigers flow like a mountain river.
The chorus emphasizes the belief in different religious figures such as Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha, Muhammad, Krishna, and Garuda. In the second verse, the song talks about Vulcan, the lame god of fire, who works on lighting up the fire, while Thor needs a forged hammer. The Creator, with his hand over the map of life where the city will be, the song says that legends make us wiser, and we feel the pulse of the universe. The song ends by stating that the apostle Peter keeps the keys, and the magic dance with the beautiful Helen.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the diversity of beliefs and how they all can coexist in harmony, as they all contribute to our wisdom and understanding of the universe.

Я только что сделалa польскую версию:
Gdy Adam i Ewa ujrzeli poranek
To Helios przyjaciel już z dumy pękał,
Upał zawładnie kolejnym tygodniem
Wyrocznia delficka bezbłędnie to czuje.
Karzeł Niebiański - skrzydlaty koliber -
Sili się znowu poranną rosą,
Zebry, centaury, wilki, tygrysy,
Mity bulgoczą jak górski potok.
Ja wierzę w Chrystusa Pana, ja wierzę w Gautamę Buddę,
Ja wierzę w proroka Mahometa, ja wierzę w Krysznę, ja wierzę w Garudę.
Ja wierzę w Chrystusa Pana, ja wierzę w Gautamę Buddę,
Ja wierzę w Jah, ja wierzę w Jah, ja wierzę w Jah i wierzyć będę tak!
Kulawy Hefajstos rozpala ognisko
Thor gdzieś szuka swoich młotów
Jedyny Stwórca pochyla swą dłoń
Nad mapą życia, nad mapą grodu.
Legendy czynią nas mądrzejszymi
Wszechświat napełnia nas pulsem i weną!
Apostoł Piotr - ten święty od kluczy -
W magicznym tańcu z Trojańską Heleną.
Ja wierzę w Chrystusa Pana, ja wierzę w Gautamę Buddę,
Ja wierzę w proroka Mahometa, ja wierzę w Krysznę, ja wierzę w Garudę.
Ja wierzę w Chrystusa Pana, ja wierzę w Gautamę Buddę,
Ja wierzę w Jah, ja wierzę w Jah, ja wierzę w Jah i wierzyć będę tak!
