Zaychiki na stene
Posle zakata umirayut
Myortvim legko vdvoyne
Zaychiki gasnut i zamikayut

Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Obmotalsya i vperyod
Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Dvesti dvadtsat' na neyo

Ti menya uchish' zhdat'
I govorish' smeshnie frazi
A ya hochu vsyo otdat'
Esli lyubov' - znachit tol'ko srazy

Ti ne poymyosh' vo sne
Esli lyubov' - znachit vsyo sgoraet
Zaychiki na stene
Posle zakata umirayut

Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Obmotalsya i vperyod
Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Dvesti dvadtsat' na neyo

Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Obmotalsya i vperyod
Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Dvesti dvadtsat' na neyo

    My Interpretation

    Actually it seems complicated but it's really not once you know how to read it the right way imho. I think it's just about how sex can take precedence over love feelings. See the translated lyrics in the video that taylorofthephunk talked about, and how it can be read in that way (even there are some wrong or inaccurate translations in it).

    Btw, 220 is indeed the standard voltage in Europe and I guess electricity is a metaphor for pleasure ("220 inside me, wrap it up and go for it, 220 inside me, 220 inside her", it seems pretty clear). Besides, t.A.T.u. often have lyrics and/or video clips that mix love, sex and autodestruction (or at least destruction). I'm a fan for 10 years now and nothing the girls did could surprise me during this decade as they always tried to provoke everyone with their music and 'tudes. So I never took their songs literally without at least asking myself if I could read it in a different way.

    @ktracy: I agree with the love&fling point of view, but I don't think being electrocuted can be compared to love ending and feelings disappearing. It's much more in a physical way (closer to the fling idea you mentioned). Especially with this part:

    Ты меня учишь ждать И говоришь смешные фразы. А я хочу всё отдать Если любовь - значит только сразу

    Ты не поймёшь во сне: Если любовь - значит всё сгорает.

    You teach me to wait / you say funny things / but I want to give everything / if it's love I just want it right now / your dreams won't come true (I think the meaning here is "you won't fulfill your dreams") / if you're in love then everything is gonna be burned (I think the meaning is "charred").

    In a few words: "you want love, but I don't like the consequences of it and I just want your body". That's how I understand the song.

    As usual within the girls' discography, the meaning of the english version of the song ("Sparks" for this one) is softer. But basically the idea of an "electric" sensation between two girls is still there.

    Anyway yeah, they have awesome song writers!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
