Не Отпускай Тепло
Alai Oli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Утром проснутся сонные улицы, лица
Налей мне чаю, открой окно.
Давай оставим на потом все грустные песни —
Я их написала нечаянно.
Осенью небо становиться выше
И в теплые страны улетают наши крыши,
Давай еще покурим, просто так надо…
Не отпускай тепло из сердца своего!
Осенние ветра стучали в двери, но мы их не пустили.
Не отпускай тепло из сердца своего!
Холодною зимой, когда вьюга, погреюсь я в сердце друга.
А по мне так худший способ скучать по человеку —
Быть рядом с ним, но видеть то, что он далеко.
А расстояние — любые километры — моя душа пролетает легко.
А я по мокрым улицам под строки Крэка,
Но сердце навеки принадлежит реггей.
Новосибирск, Калининград, Швеция…
Любовь — она не там, она — в сердце.
Не отпускай тепло из сердца своего!
Осенние ветра стучали в двери, но мы их не пустили.
Не отпускай тепло из сердца своего!
Холодною зимой, когда вьюга, погреюсь я в сердце друга.
The lyrics of Alai Oli's song "Не отпускай тепло" ("Don't Let Go of the Warmth") explore the theme of holding onto warmth, love, and companionship despite the changing seasons and geographical distances. The song starts by describing the sleepy streets and faces in the morning and asking to be poured some tea and for the window to be opened. The singer suggests leaving behind all the sad songs for a while and enjoying the moment. They acknowledge the arrival of autumn and the fact that roofs fly to warmer countries, but urge their friend not to cry because of their absence. Instead, they suggest smoking and having some fun.
The chorus repeats the message of the song: "Don't let go of the warmth from your heart! The autumn winds knock on the door, but we won't let them in. Don't let go of the warmth from your heart! In the cold winter, when the blizzard is raging, I will warm myself in my friend's heart." The second verse reflects on how being close to someone yet seeing that they are distant is worse than being apart. The singer acknowledges that they cover kilometers, including wet streets, inspired by the rhythms of the reggae music in their heart. Finally, they proclaim that love is not in a particular location but in their heart, urging their friend not to let go of the warmth.

Утром проснутся сонные улицы, лица
The sleepy streets and faces will wake up in the morning.
Налей мне чаю, открой окно.
Pour me some tea, open the window.
Давай оставим на потом все грустные песни —
Let's leave all the sad songs for later,
Я их написала нечаянно.
I wrote them accidentally.
Осенью небо становиться выше
In the fall, the sky becomes higher
И в теплые страны улетают наши крыши,
And our roofs fly to warmer countries
Не плачь дружище, что ее нет рядом,
Don't cry, friend, because she's not around
Давай еще покурим, просто так надо…
Let's smoke some more, just because...
Не отпускай тепло из сердца своего!
Don't let the warmth from your heart go away!
Осенние ветра стучали в двери, но мы их не пустили.
Autumn winds knocked on the door, but we didn't let them in.
Холодною зимой, когда вьюга, погреюсь я в сердце друга.
On a cold winter night, when the blizzard rages, I'll warm myself in my friend's heart.
А по мне так худший способ скучать по человеку —
As for me, the worst way to miss someone is...
Быть рядом с ним, но видеть то, что он далеко.
To be close to them, but see that they're far away.
А расстояние — любые километры — моя душа пролетает легко.
And distance - any number of kilometers - my soul flies over easily.
А я по мокрым улицам под строки Крэка,
And I walk along the wet streets, to the sound of Kreck's verses
Но сердце навеки принадлежит реггей.
But my heart belongs to reggae forever.
Новосибирск, Калининград, Швеция…
Novosibirsk, Kaliningrad, Sweden...
Любовь — она не там, она — в сердце.
Love is not there, it's in the heart.
