Sergey Babkin and Andrey Zaporozhets met in 1995. Despite the fact that Zaporozhets was inspired by soul and hip-hop, while Babkin followed rock music, they found common ground, and by 2000, started writing songs together. Their first album "Анплаггед" ("Unplugged") was recorded in 2002 for only $30, without overdubs, and quickly spread unofficially by word of mouth. The album was officially released in 2003 under the name "Пятница" ("Friday"). The song "Солдат" ("Soldier") became an instant hit after receiving radio airplay, and 5'nizza quickly rose to mainstream popularity in Ukraine, Russia and other Russian-speaking countries. 2005 saw the release of their much-anticipated second album, "О5" (pronounced "o-PYAT" — Russian for "Again"). This time 5'Nizza offered much more sophisticated studio work, while at the same time following the same guitar/vocals/beatbox formula (though, with occasional electric guitar and Rhodes piano). The album enjoyed much less mainstream popularity than its predecessor, but 5'Nizza continued active touring and working on their side projects. When Zaporozhets and Babkin started writing the third album, they found that they were unable to follow the acoustic musical formula, and decided to discontinue working as 5'Nizza, focusing on their own projects instead: Babkin continued his solo career, and Zaporozhets formed SunSay.
Babkin and Zaporozhets reunited to perform several concerts in 2015.
In 2017 the new album "КУ" ("KU"), was released.

5'nizza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Улыбается
А я son of the sun
Я сын солнца
Господин для японца - сан
Слишком рано к небесам
Санстанция сансара
Ара эра
Вора вера не варвара
Синдром аэродрома
Дальше без барабана
Па-ра-ра-ра-ра-ра-растафа нирваны рана
Стали мы сильнее стали на время, но мы не верим,
Мы устали
Пелтяли мы длинными дорогами
Не знали мы,
Петляли...нам
С неба корабля ждем
Не видно нам солнца
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети всегда
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети сюда
Wadada
Поднимаем лица
И не видим солнца
Мы устали
Над нами свинцовое небо
Мы привыкли
Не столько к крику, крови, сколько к смерти
Верьте - не верьте
Пока мы живы где же вы
Я вас не вижу
Вы мертвы уже
Хотя мы дышим
Я не слышу
Но смотрю
Сухими глазами
Мы снова видим снами
Бог с нами
Но это не сон -
Это солнце восходит
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети всегда
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети сюда
Оно светит всем -
Вам и нам, тебе и мне,
Ему и ей-ей-ей
Света нет без теней
Тени без света
В ожидании рассвета
Где-то лето это
Таяли льды
Таяли-таяли льды
Были мы - и я, и ты
Ответа нет
Цветы растут растамания
Магия цветов
Не надо слов
Get off
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети всегда
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети нам,
Солнце, свети сюда
The lyrics of 5'nizza's "Солнце" (Sun) are deeply philosophical and introspective. The song's first verse speaks about the sun, and how it shines brightly despite everything that's going on around it. The singer, however, feels like he hasn't been able to do the same. He refers to himself as "son of the sun" and even "lord for the Japanese," but it feels like he's still not shining bright enough. The second verse talks about life and death, and how the singer has become numb to it all. He's tired of the darkness that surrounds him, and he's waiting for the sunrise. He knows that it's coming because he can see it in his dreams. The chorus repeats the plea for the sun to shine, not just on the singer but on everyone around him.
The song's third verse shifts focus to the larger world. The sun shines on everyone equally, regardless of who they are. There's no light without shadow, but it's all in anticipation of a new day. Even when everything seems to be melting away like ice, there's still magic in the world, and it can be found in the beauty of nature. The song ends with a final call for the sun to shine.
Overall, "Солнце" is a song about hope and perseverance, even in the face of darkness. It's a reminder that, just like the sun, we all have the power to keep shining even on the darkest of days.

Стали мы сильнее стали на время, но мы не верим,

Not so much to screams, blood, as to death

Вы мертвы уже
You're already dead

Сухими глазами
With dry eyes
Мы снова видим снами
We see dreams again

Таяли-таяли льды
Melting, melting ice
Были мы - и я, и ты
We were - both me and you
Ответа нет
There is no answer
Цветы растут растамания
Flowers are growing in Rastaman's garden
Магия цветов
Magic of flowers
Не надо слов
No need for words
