Невидима сім'я
Океан Ельзи Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Купили ми день
Вiн буде так довго
Хiба нам досить?
З тобою на двох
Ми випили нiч
Не бiйся, так нiжно
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Навколо свiт, а ти i я
Така невидима сiм'я
З тобою на двох
Ми бачили свiт
I, може, є iнший
Хiба ж ми шукали?
Я збiгаю сам
А ти не вставай
Так хочеться пити знов
Вино i кров, а всього так мало!
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Навколо свiт, а ти i я
Така невидима сiм'я
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Менi вже йти, а я i ти
Лягли на дно - нiкому не знайти
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
The lyrics of Океан Ельзи's song "Невидима сім'я" (Invisible Family) speak of a deep connection between two individuals. The song begins with the line "З тобою на двох" (Just the two of us) and describes how they have bought a day together. They wonder if this day will be enough, if it will last forever. The line "Ми випили нiч" (We drank the night) suggests a sense of indulgence and escapism from reality. The singer reassures their partner, saying not to be afraid because no one will ask anything of them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Навколо свiт, а ти i я Така невидима сiм'я" (The world around us, just you and me, Such an invisible family). It implies that despite being surrounded by the chaos of the world, they have created their own intimate and invisible bubble, where their connection is the only thing that matters.
As the song progresses, the singer admits to running away alone, but asks their partner not to get up. They long for more, craving wine and blood, symbolizing passion and intensity. The repeating refrain "Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду" adds a catchy and playful element to the song, contrasting with the deeper emotions expressed in the lyrics.

З тобою на двох
With you, just the two of us
Купили ми день
We bought the day
Вiн буде так довго
It will last so long
Хiба нам досить?
Is it enough for us?
Ми випили нiч
We drank the night
Не бiйся, так нiжно
Don't be afraid, so gently
Нiхто не попросить
No one will ask
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Tu-du-du-tu-du-du
Навколо свiт, а ти i я
Around the world, it's just you and me
Така невидима сiм'я
Such an invisible family
Ми бачили свiт
We saw the world
I, може, є iнший
And maybe there's another
Хiба ж ми шукали?
Did we really search for it?
Я збiгаю сам
I'm running away alone
А ти не вставай
And don't get up
Так хочеться пити знов
How I long to drink again
Вино i кров, а всього так мало!
Wine and blood, and yet so little of everything!
Менi вже йти, а я i ти
I'm already leaving, and there's you and me
Лягли на дно - нiкому не знайти
We lie at the bottom - no one can find us
Ту-ду-ду-ту-ду-ду
Tu-du-du-tu-du-du
