Distemper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Дайте что ли карты в руки погадать на короля,
Ой-ля-ля, ой-ля-ля, погадать на короля,
Ой-ля-ля, ой-ля-ля, Ех-ма!
Завтра дальняя дорога выпадает королю
У него деньжонок много, а я денежки люблю
Ой-лю-лю, ой-лю-лю, а я денежки люблю
Королева карта бита, бит и весь его отряд
Дело будет шито крыто, карты правду говорят
ву-а-ля, ву-а-ля, завтра грабим короля
ву-а-ля, ву-а-ля, завтра грабим ко-ро-ля!
Отдай деньги жирный ублюдок!!!
Говорят мы бяки-буки, как выносит нас земля?
Дайте что ли карты в руки погадать на короля,
Ой-ля-ля, ой-ля-ля, погадать на короля,
Ой-ля-ля, ой-ля-ля, Ех-ма
ву-а-ля, ву-а-ля, завтра грабим короля
ву-а-ля, ву-а-ля, завтра грабим ко-ро-ля!
Distemper's song "Первая песня разбойников" is a fast-paced and energetic anthem that celebrates the rebellious and anti-establishment spirit of a group of outlaws. The lyrics revolve around the idea of using fortune-telling cards to predict the future and plan a robbery of the king's riches.
The first verse sets the tone for the whole song, as the singers proclaim themselves as "бяки-буки" (loosely translated as rebels or troublemakers) and question how the land can handle them. They then ask for cards to predict the king's fate, and the chorus "Ой-ля-ля, ой-ля-ля, погадать на короля" ("oy-lya-lya, oy-lya-lya, predict the king's fate") builds up the anticipation for the upcoming robbery.
In the second verse, the singers plan the robbery, as they learn that the king will be traveling on a distant road, carrying a lot of money. The singers declare their love for money, and the chorus changes to "Ой-лю-лю, ой-лю-лю, а я денежки люблю" ("oy-lyu-lyu, oy-lyu-lyu, I love money"). The third verse concludes the plan, as they reveal that they have the queen of hearts card, which means that the king's army will be defeated easily. The chorus changes to "ву-а-ля, ву-а-ля, завтра грабим короля" ("vu-a-lya, vu-a-lya, tomorrow we rob the king"), and the excitement reaches its peak.
Overall, "Первая песня разбойников" is a celebration of rebellion and non-conformity, and the lyrics use the metaphor of fortune-telling to describe the singers' plans to challenge the established order.
