Серёжа
Distemper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

В дымовухе блеснуло кольцо
Когда я развлекался с расческой
Ты мне бросила мамку в лицо,
Утюгом поправляя прическу
Я молчал, ковыряя в носу
Ты, опять вытирая козявки
Вдев калоши на ногу босу
На пол бросила новые плавки

Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла
Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла
Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла
Ла ла ла ла

Чтож ты делаешь? - вдруг я сказал
Ты зачем мои плавки надела?
В это время Сережа икал,
И в подъезде слонялся без дела
Ты сказала, что будешь икать,
А сама ни на что не похожа
Положила трусы под кровать
И сказала, что любишь Серёжу

Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла
Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла
Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла
Ла ла ла ла

Это молодость наша пришла
ты сказала мне скомкав газету
тихо пукнула и ушла
растворилась во тьме туалета
ты сидела ни час и ни два
я о жизни опять размечтался
Симпатичной отверткой в зубах ковырял и сидел улыбался
Я пошел и купил колбасы
С горя синьки напился из таза
Вдруг запели вокруг Вирасы
Ты, журча снизошла с унитаза

Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла
Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла

Ла-ла-ла-ла-лай лай ла ла ла
Ла ла ла ла

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Distemper's song "Сережа" depict a chaotic and absurd scene of a couple's argument that includes shared moments of ridiculousness and intimacy. The first verse narrates a moment where the singer, playing with a comb, got a ring from the smoke and his partner threw her mother in his face while using a flat iron to fix her hair. The singer says nothing but picks his nose while she wipes her nose and puts on new swimming trunks. The second verse continues with the conversation between the couple, where the singer asks why she is wearing his swimwear. At the same time, a character named Сережа stumbles around the building, and she says she loves him while hiding her panties under the bed. The last verse describes the woman leaving the singer alone with his thoughts, and he buys sausage, drinks from a basin, and listens to someone singing outside. She eventually returns after passing gas, and they are together "as our youth comes."

The song is a humorous take on the absurdities of human interactions and relationships, where words and actions do not necessarily correlate or make sense. The disjointed narrative seems to capture the intimacy and confusion of being in a relationship. The lyrics are full of bright and nonsensical imagery, which matches the upbeat and energetic music characteristic of the ska-punk genre.

В дымовухе блеснуло кольцо
A ring gleamed in the smoke

Когда я развлекался с расческой
When I was playing with a comb

Ты мне бросила мамку в лицо,
You threw my mom in my face

Утюгом поправляя прическу
Adjusting your hair with an iron

Я молчал, ковыряя в носу
I was silent, picking my nose

Ты, опять вытирая козявки
You, wiping your boogers again

Вдев калоши на ногу босу
Putting on rubber boots on bare feet

На пол бросила новые плавки
Dropped new swim trunks on the floor

Чтож ты делаешь? - вдруг я сказал
What are you doing? - I suddenly said

Ты зачем мои плавки надела?
Why did you put on my swim trunks?

В это время Сережа икал,
At this time Serega was hiccupping
