Ампутация
ундервуд Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Поют мозоли о камнях.
На ногах.
На ногах, на ногах,
Поили комаров-комах.
На ногах.
Мои стопы липнут к полу,
Я смотрю в бинокль на голых.
Долгожитель тамагочи,
Click-delete, упал, короче,
Ла-ла-ла-ла-ла-ла.
Мне за вами не угнаться
Вас настигнет ампутация,
Ампутация,
Я-я-я-я-я-я-я
Ампутация,
Я-я-я-я-я-я-я
Ампутация,
Я-я-я-я-я-я-я
Ампутация,
Я-я-я-я-я-я-я
Ампутация.
Вся жизнь на ногах, на ногах,
Под белым куполом рубах.
На ногах.
На ногах, ан ногах
Цыганы в красных рукавах.
На ногах.
Ай-нэ-нэ-нэ, бородатый
Унесу баян до хаты
НА ногах, на ногах.
Долгожитель тамагочи,
Click-delete, упал, короче,
Ла-ла-ла-ла-ла-ла.
Мне за вами не угнаться
Вас настигнет ампутация,
Ампутация,
Я-я-я-я-я-я-я
Ампутация.
Вся жизнь на ногах, на ногах.
И катапультой давит пах.
Меж ногах.
На ногах, на ногах,
Ямахах, скутерах, чертях.
На ногах.
Я гоню и ветер в харю,
Меня много, парю-парю
На ногах, на ногах.
Долгожитель тамагочи,
Click-delete, упал, короче,
Ла-ла-ла-ла-ла-ла.
Мне за вами не угнаться
Вас настигнет ампутация,
Ампутация,
Я-я-я-я-я-я-я
Ампутация.
The song is titled "Ампутация", which translates to "Amputation" in English. The lyrics begin by repeating the phrase "Вся жизнь на ногах" (entire life on feet), which signifies the constant demand for mobility and the challenges one faces while traveling through life. The reference to "мозоли" (calluses) on the "камни" (stones) implies that life is rough and arduous, but one must soldier on. The phrase "поили комаров-комах" (watered mosquitoes and insects) can be interpreted as a metaphor for the difficulties one faces in life, which may seem insignificant to others but cause much discomfort and pain to an individual.
The song alludes to a Tamagotchi, a handheld electronic pet toy that was popular in the 1990s. The repetition of "Click-delete" signifies that it has been deleted, and the ensuing "la-la-la" can be interpreted as a sense of detachment or apathy towards the loss. The phrase "я-я-я-я-я-я-я" repeated after "ампутация" (amputation) can be considered a vocalization of fear or shock. The phrase "Вас настигнет ампутация" (amputation will catch up to you) can be interpreted as a warning to people to be careful or it could be interpreted as a metaphor for the unyielding nature of fate.
The song paints a picture of a never-ending race that one must run, where the stakes are high and the journey is full of potholes. The lyrics reference gypsies in "красных рукавах" (red sleeves), which can be interpreted as the beauty or diversity of different cultures that one experiences while traveling. The lyric "Долгожитель тамагочи" (long-living Tamagotchi) is repeated in each verse, which can signify the importance of companionship and the value of having something to hold on to while navigating through life.

НА ногах, на ногах.

На ногах, на ногах.
