Песня «музыкантов»
Олег Анофриев Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Песня «музыкантов»" by Олег Анофриев. The song is about the frustration and confusion that older generations feel towards the younger generation. The lyrics highlight the differences in values and priorities between the two.

In the first verse, the singer expresses their exasperation with the children of today. They feel that there is no control or discipline over them, and the young ones seem to not care about their own well-being. The line "Мы свое здоровье тратим, Но на это наплевать им" translates to "We waste our health, but they don't care about it." This reflects the singer's perception that the younger generation is not taking their own health seriously.

The second verse continues this theme, questioning if children today have too much freedom and lack responsibility. The singer implies that the youth focus too much on dancing and singing, neglecting their obligations to the older generation. The line "Им бы песни до рассвета, А до нас им дела нету" translates to "They want to sing until dawn, but they have no concern for us." This suggests a lack of connection and empathy between the generations.

The third verse explores the idea that children have become a burden. The older generation gave them education, but instead of gratitude and obedience, they have become disobedient. However, despite this frustration, the singer admits that life without the children would be incredibly dull. This recognition of the positive aspects of the younger generation demonstrates a complex mix of emotions - a love-hate relationship.

The repeated lines "Такая-сякая, сбежала из дворца, Такая-сякая, расстроила отца" serve as a refrain throughout the song. The metaphorical "Такая-сякая" can be interpreted as a representation of the rebellious nature of the younger generation. "Сбежала из дворца" means "escaped from the palace," indicating a desire for freedom and independence. "Расстроила отца" translates to "upset father," suggesting the disappointment and disconnection felt by the older generation.

The final lines of the song, "Бада-бада-бада-бада отца, Отца отца отца отца отца ца-царя," are more abstract. They can be seen as a repetition of the previous line, expressing the longing and nostalgia for the previous hierarchical order where the father figure was respected and followed.
