Неправда
Чичерина Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Наверное устало ждать
А мир такой, такой большой
Мне ли не знать
В воздухе плавает лед
И так-то не тает
А ты завидуешь птицам
И всем кто летает
Ночью такси за полцены
И ты узнаешь: где ты будешь,
Для кого расстаешь, расстаешь
Завтра с тобой останется моя неправда,
Со мной останется твоя награда завтра
Больших авто дальний свет
Все машины в кювет
А мы стоим просто так
Нам до них дела нет
И сигарета в руке пока довольно вполне
С этим хоть на карй земли, хоть на край любви
Ночью такси за полцены
И ты узнаешь: где ты будешь,
Для кого расстаешь, расстаешь
Завтра с тобой останется моя неправда,
Со мной останется твоя награда завтра
The song "Неправда" by Чичерина speaks about the pain of letting go of someone you love and the lies that will remain with the person even after they part ways. The opening lines suggest a sense of loneliness and resignation as the singer feels like the sky is bidding her goodbye, tired of waiting for her to move on. The world seems too big, and the ice in the air doesn't even melt. In contrast, the birds can fly away freely, and the singer is envious of them and anyone who can fly away from their troubles.
The second verse talks about how cheap the overnight taxi fare is, and it highlights the fleeting nature of relationships. The singer wonders where she will end up and who she will leave behind. She conveys that tomorrow, she will carry her lies, while the other person will carry the reward for all the emotional effort they put in. The final line "with me will remain your reward tomorrow" suggests that the other person will regret her departure and realize her worth only after she has left.
This song highlights the universal pain and regret that people feel when they end up hurting someone they once loved. It reminds us that even if we let go of someone, some memories and emotions will remain forever.

Late at night, you can catch a cab for half price and wonder where you'll end up, who you'll lose in the process. Tomorrow, I'll be left with my lies, and you'll be left with the prize of loving me.

Flashy cars speed past and crash into ditches, but we just stand here with cigarettes in hand, not even caring about them.
И сигарета в руке пока довольно вполне
С этим хоть на карй земли, хоть на край любви
With a cigarette in hand, I feel content for now. This feeling could take me to the ends of the earth or even the edge of love.
