Песенка Короля и Принцессы
Олег Анофриев Lyrics

The lyrics of Олег Анофриев's song Песенка Короля и Принцессы depict a conversation between a king and his princess. The king starts off by addressing the princess as "Трубадурочка" or "troubadour," which was a medieval lyric poet who would sing about chivalry and courtly love. He then proceeds to comment on the princess's frail and emaciated figure, expressing his concern and promising to take care of her. The princess, however, responds with an apathetic "Ничего я не хочу" or "I don't want anything," refusing the king's offers of help.

The king continues with his attempts to aid the princess, suggesting a dietetic egg or a visit to the doctor. But again, the princess insists that she doesn't want anything. Finally, the king tries to cheer her up by promising to bring foreign singers to the kingdom, all of which he will pay for. But the princess remains uninterested, repeating her refrain of "Ничего я не хочу."

The lyrics of this song convey a sense of apathy and hopelessness, with the princess seemingly resigned to her condition and unresponsive to the king's attempts to help. It can be interpreted as a commentary on mental health and the difficulty of reaching out for help when one is struggling.
