Hools
ЯйцЫ Fаберже Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
На футболе бьют по морде и гоняют мусоров
Ты идёшь в своей розетке, во дворе вздыхают девки
Когда видят что пацан – настоящий хулиган
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
А мы гуляем по проспектам во враждебных городах
Вычисляем оппонентов нагоняем на них страх
А на футболе всё красиво – фаера и барабаны
Ненавидим мусоров мы, хулиганы, хулиганы
Hooligans don't stop hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
А басурманские кварталы любят реп и наркоманов
Басурманов убивают хулиганы, хулиганы
Ешь кокосы, ешь бананы, убирайся в свои страны
Или будешь уничтожен ты футбольным хулиганом
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop
Hooligans don't stop, hooligans
Ой, ой, ой
The lyrics to ЯйцЫ Fаберже's song "Hools" seem to describe the experience of being a hooligan or a football hooligan. The first verse speaks of a mother left behind as her son goes to play football, swallowing Valium to cope with the stress of it all. The violence that hooligans bring to a game is described as "hitting in the face and chasing garbage." The singer, however, is more interested in walking around in his city feeling cool and making girls sigh when they see him as a "real hooligan." The chorus reinforces this idea that "hooligans don't stop" - their behavior seems to be an inherent part of who they are and how they interact with the world.
The second verse takes a slightly different turn, acknowledging the conflicts between rival cities and teams that often come with football culture. Hooligans are described as calculating their opponents' moves and instilling fear in them. However, the atmosphere of the stadium is also romanticized, with the "flare and drums" creating a spectacle. The bridge then brings up the idea of "Basurmansky quarters," a derogatory term for non-Slavic neighborhoods or people. These areas are said to love rap and drugs and are targeted by hooligans, who see themselves as a force for justice. The final line is a threat - "Eat coconuts, eat bananas, go back to your countries or be destroyed by football hooligans."
Overall, the song seems to portray hooliganism as a way of life that is tied into football culture and broader societal tensions. The hooligans operate with a sense of pride - they see themselves as real men who can handle violence and protect their cities from outsiders. However, the song does not shy away from the darker aspects of this lifestyle, such as drug use and xenophobia. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes that hooliganism is not just a behavior but an identity that people take on with a sense of loyalty and belonging.
