Припев:
Dm G
Отдам полцарства за одного
Dm G
Пускай на деле не стоит он того.
Dm G
Эй, ты - подделка, изящный блеф
Bm G
Для бестолковых королев.
Кругом не город – декорации
Глазурь и понты.
В огнях пустой иллюминации
Расплавишься ты
Припев.
Один, другой, еще попробую
Хоть сотню подряд,
Но на губах все тот же вкус-шоколад

The song "Блеф" by Муха (Mukha) speaks of an encounter in the ninth hour of the day, where the first snow is starting to fall outside. The singer sees someone who looks like chocolate, but quickly realizes that there is more to that person than meets the eye. The chorus speaks of how the singer is willing to give up half of their kingdom for this person, even if in reality, they might not be worth it. The person is referred to as a "fake" or a "bluff" meant for those who are not very intelligent.
The song goes on to talk about how there is no actual city around them, only decorations and façades. The person is described as being like a melting chocolate in the empty and shallow illumination of the lights. The singer tries to find someone similar to this person but is unsuccessful, and the taste of chocolate remains in their mouth.
The song "Блеф" has been interpreted by some as a commentary on the superficiality of modern society, where appearances and facades are more important than true substance. The lyrics suggest that people are willing to give up anything for the illusion of something, even if it is not real or worth it. The metaphor of chocolate is used to describe something that looks sweet and appealing, but ultimately might not be fulfilling or satisfying.
