Alai Oli - Не думать

Доброе утро тебе, я грею руки дыханием.
Одиночество рассыпало звёзды по стенам.
Нас разделяют скорость и расстояние,
И я так хочу чтоб скорее закончился день.

И я прошу Бобби, спой мне ещё одну песню,

Я прошу Ману, развей мою печаль.
Я закрываю глаза, и мы вместе,
И я вспоминаю то, что было в начале...

Они не слушают меня,
Не оставляют мысли
В моей голове. А мне бы так хотелось
Просто не думать о тебе.

Не слушают меня,
Не оставляют мысли в моей голове.
А мне бы так хотелось просто...

Мне казалось, я встерчала ангелов клубах.
Я ошибалась, приняв за ангелов птиц.
Они кричала, что регги имеет рамки,
А я, что любовь не имеет границ.

И не бывает черного и белого,
Музыка льется из сердца, смывая берега.
Мне казалось, мы вместе искали истину,
А они искали врага.

Они не слушают меня,
Не оставляют мысли в моей голове.
А мне бы так хотелось просто больше никогда
Не думать о тебе.

Не слушают меня,
Не оставляют мысли в моей голове,

А мне бы так хотелось просто
Не думать о тебе.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alai Oli's "Не думать" tell a story of loneliness and longing for a past love. The singer describes how they are trying to warm their hands with their breath because they are alone, and they see stars scattered on the walls. They yearn for the day to end so they can be reunited with their loved one. The singer addresses Bobby and Manu, asking them to sing them another song and lift their sadness. They close their eyes and remember the beginning of their relationship, but they wish they could stop thinking about their lost love.

The song then takes a turn as the singer talks about being in clubs and thinking they saw angels, only to realize they were just birds. They argue with others about the limitations of reggae music and what it means to love without restriction. They thought they were searching for truth together, but others were looking for enemies. Throughout it all, the singer asks for their thoughts to stop revolving around their past love.

This song is a poignant portrayal of heartbreak and trying to move on from a failed relationship. The use of stars and angels as metaphors creates a dreamy, almost spiritual atmosphere that contrasts with the pain of lost love. The reference to Bobby and Manu is likely a nod to Bob Marley and Manu Chao, two musicians known for their politically charged lyrics and love songs.

Line by Line Meaning

Доброе утро тебе, я грею руки дыханием.
Good morning to you, I am warming my hands with my breath.

Одиночество рассыпало звёзды по стенам.
Solitude scattered stars on the walls.

Нас разделяют скорость и расстояние,
We are separated by speed and distance,

И я так хочу чтоб скорее закончился день.
And I so want the day to end quickly.

И я прошу Бобби, спой мне ещё одну песню,
And I ask Bobby, sing me one more song,

Я прошу Ману, развей мою печаль.
I ask Manna, dispel my sadness.

Я закрываю глаза, и мы вместе,
I close my eyes and we are together,

И я вспоминаю то, что было в начале...
And I remember what was at the beginning...

Они не слушают меня,
They don't listen to me,

Не оставляют мысли
Do not leave thoughts

В моей голове. А мне бы так хотелось
In my head. And I would so like

Просто не думать о тебе.
Just not to think about you.

Мне казалось, я встерчала ангелов клубах.
It seemed to me that I met angels in clubs.

Я ошибалась, приняв за ангелов птиц.
I was wrong, mistaking birds for angels.

Они кричала, что регги имеет рамки,
They screamed that reggae has limits,

А я, что любовь не имеет границ.
And I, that love knows no bounds.

И не бывает черного и белого,
And there is no black and white,

Музыка льется из сердца, смывая берега.
Music flows from the heart, washing away the shores.

Мне казалось, мы вместе искали истину,
It seemed to me that we were searching for the truth together,

А они искали врага.
But they were looking for an enemy.

А мне бы так хотелось просто больше никогда
And I would so like to never

Не думать о тебе.
Think about you again.

Не слушают меня,
They don't listen to me,

Не оставляют мысли в моей голове.
Do not leave thoughts in my head.

А мне бы так хотелось просто
And I would so like to just

Не думать о тебе.
Not think about you.

Ээх, молодость... Лучшая песня Оли. Соло трубы ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО. И тогда так считал и сейчас, 10 лет спустя. Прямо возвращаюсь мыслями и чувствами в то время... Спасибо)
