The Moon
[Intro]:
I'm dancing
I'm dancing
I'm dancing like it's the last time today1
I'm the most trendy one in this room2
I'm hiding my gaze from you, in transparent shades3
And I begin to nullify everything4
Turn up the music - I need to forget myself
Damn, why did I fall in love with you?5
Hugging another in front of my eyes...6
Yeah, you, dude, have completely released the brakes7
Moon, my friend, I'm dancing alone today
But look at me, and remember
This drunken night under neon light
You - are his and mine last summer together8
Moon, my friend, I'm dancing alone today
But look at me, and remember
This drunken night under neon light
You - are his and mine last summer together
And I'm cold, there's no other, no other way9
But inside me, a little girl cries
You're smoking at the bar, I'm drinking a cocktail
And you're with him today, likely, you'll share his bed
I beg you, please leave my thoughts
You're like a channel I'm stuck on
You've frazzled out my soul, who are you, even?
Moon, my friend, I'm dancing alone today
But look at me, and remember
This drunken night under neon light
You - are his and mine last summer together
Moon, my friend, I'm dancing alone today
But look at me, and remember
This drunken night under neon light
You - are his and mine last summer together
Yet another time, I return home in the morning
Everything with us turned out wrong and stupid
You're flipping through memories of the same minutes as I am
When you and I had such an insanely great time together10
I won't forgive you for this ridiculous pride
No matter how much I try to silence my inner voice
Friend, he stayed one on one with me11
And still failed to understand what love is
Moon, my friend, I'm dancing alone today
But look at me, and remember
This drunken night under neon light
You - are his and mine last summer together
Moon, my friend, I'm dancing alone today
But look at me, and remember
This drunken night under neon light
You - are his and mine last summer together
- 1. Alternatively, "as if for the last time".
- 2. More literally - "out of everyone in this hall/room, I am the most trendy/fashionable".
- 3. As in, sunglasses, but transparent...
- 4. What a weird word to use...I tried looking for a less weird English word to translate it to, but haven't found something that works yet. Perhaps, someone can suggest...?
- 5. "Надо же было" is basically a phrase used mostly in a bitter/sarcastic kind of tone, and loosely translates to something like "Wow, that was really necessary" - so this line is basically "Wow, I really had to go and fall in love with you, huh?"
- 6. The structure is actually "You'll hug another [woman] in front of my eyes" but for flowing-a-bit-better reasons I've taken a few liberties
- 7. "You" used is informal, coupled with "парень" (informal word for a male adolescent person, aka dude/lad/chap/w.e) it sounds pretty colloquial. The second part is metaphorical, what's implied is that he's stopped caring about limits/her feelings anymore and is just doing whatever the hell he wants.
- 8. Wah, a bit awkward, but the original interpreted literally is "You - [are] ours with him last summer", and in Eng we don't have that "ours with him" structure...
- 9. Word used, "нельзя", basically means "not allowed".
- 10. More literally - "When, together, it was so cool for us to the point of insanity".
- 11. Talking to the moon here, most likely - since the lyrics refer to the moon with the same word earlier, in the "moon, my friend" lines.
