Here’s video of another of my favorite Russian pop songs: “Liza” by Liza.
Here are the translated lyrics (courtesy of Google Translate and mirmagi.ru):
You’re home alone.
You sit and watch a movie with the hero of his own.
Slightly in love,
But not so much to see himself always near him.
So you want to know
The most important and, apparently, is important for adults secret
But it is difficult to understand –
What is love, and who will give the correct answer.Chorus:
Lisa, she is not discouraged
And about the love of reading,
Learn all by herself (Lisa).
Lisa does not like black and white,
And the zebra in the life bravely
Paint in the color (Lisa).
Lisa, she was not discouraged,
Again, leafing through the magazine,
Learn all by herself (Lisa).
Lisa does not like black and white,
And the zebra in the life bravely
Paint in the color (Lisa).And time flies –
From the awkward girl beauty rose suddenly
And your house is open
To good friends and good loyal friends.
At the heart easily –
Among the thousands of men you could find.
All comes to pass,
If you believe in yourself and know how as a child dreamed of.Chorus.
UPDATE: My wonderful girlfriend, who spent some time in Russia teaching English, has provided a more coherent translation:
You are home alone.
You sit and watch a movie with your hero.
Slightly in love,
but not enough to see yourself always near him.
How you want to know
the main, most obvious and important adult secret,
But it is hard to understand –
what love is and who can give the true answer.Chorus:
Liza, she is not dejected.
She reads about love,
and learns everything for herself.
Liza doesn’t like black and white,
and she bravely paints life’s zebra with color.
Liza, she is not dejected,
Again she leafs through a magazine
and learns everything for herself.
Liza doesn’t like black and white,
and she bravely paints life’s zebra with color.And time flies –
from the awkward young girl a beauty grew suddenly.
And your home is open
for good friends and kind true friends.
It is easy for the heart –
Among your thousand men that you could find.
It will all happen,
if you believe in yourself and know how to dream like a child.Chorus
