Need some help translating Любэ lyrics!

Hi, I'm currently building a website with french translations of songs of the band Любэ, but I can't find every russian expressions they sing in my small dictionnary, so I would really appreciate it if some native russian speaker could help me and translate the lyrics I don't understand in english! :oops:

Here we go : :lol:


Сирота Казанская!
Поднимись по жизни назло!
Дед погиб в гражданскую
Повезло.

Ох, да пошто горевать, все наверно устроится.
Да и поверить хочу, да душа не велит.

Нету у меня никого, да и некому кланяться...
Нету у меня ничего, да и нечего маяться.
Ох, да горюшка-кручина по дорожке катится.
Да и не тот я мужик, чтобы душу рвать, да, да, да...





Thanks!

I hate seeing unanswered posts.
I am not a native speaker but I will make an attempt at the first paragraph.

Kazan orphan!
Rise in spite of life!
Grandfather perished in the civil war
And was carried away.

пошто = ??
горюшка = ??

пошто = старинная форма 'зачем'
горюшко = diminutive of 'горе'

BTW wilco000 asked for french translations...

I thought he wanted the lyrics in English so that he can translate them to French.
Je ne parle pas Francais. :D

The only french phrase I know is:
Je ne mangeais pas six jours
(no, I'm not really that hungry :mrgreen: )

Ох, да пошто горевать, все наверно устроится.

Oh, but why grieve everything will probly (dunno how to say in english).
And yes, i want to believe, but the ghost(soul?) doesn't (order? let? dunno).

Нету у меня никого, да и некому кланяться...
Нету у меня ничего, да и нечего маяться.
Ох, да горюшка-кручина по дорожке катится.
Да и не тот я мужик, чтобы душу рвать, да, да, да...

I have no one, no one to bow to.
I have nothing, nothing to toil about.
Oh yes, the (Rope?i guess is what he said) Sorrow rolls down the road.

And i dont understand the last line.

LOL. He said it was diminutive of "Горе" not Rope.

Ох, да горюшка-кручина по дорожке катится.
Oh yes, the grief-sorrow rolls down the road/path.

OHHH Well then that makes sense. Mixing up cyrillic/latin alphabet, it happens, you know how it is :wink: .

Thank you all! :D

All translations, in english or french, are very appreciated! :D

I have hard time understanding those sentences:


Я стою один, как дурак и кретин.
Все! Тебе - кабзде-ей.

and

Годы ощутил, хоть я и не дед:
Мне сегодня тридцать лет!

В этот день с иголочки я одет!
В этот день теплом вашим я согрет!

Я рукой нащупал свой карман.
Он мне намекнул, что я буду пьян.
Говорит мне: "День держись, братан!
Лучше протирай стакан!"


BTW, those are not LOUBE, but Sektor Gaza lyrics...

Cпасибо! :lol:

Годы ощутил, хоть я и не дед:

Does Дед mean grandpa? Or is it refering to the 'деды' in the army?
many years, and he's still not a дед. Still busting his ass as a private or what?

Grandpa for sure becouse he said "годы ощутил" - "felt the years" so годы here means "age".

Here is my try.

Я стою один, как дурак и кретин.
Все! Тебе - кабзде-ей.
I stand alone, as a fool and a cretin.
All! To you - кабзде-ей. (I don't know what or where is кабзде-ей)

Годы ощутил, хоть я и не дед:
Мне сегодня тридцать лет!
I felt the years, though I am not a grandfather:
Today I am thirty years old!

В этот день с иголочки я одет!
В этот день теплом вашим я согрет!
This day I am dressed with a needle! (I guess this means "dressed to a T")
This day your warmth I comfort!

Я рукой нащупал свой карман.
Он мне намекнул, что я буду пьян.
I groped with my hand in my pocket.
He hinted to me, that I shall get drunk.

Говорит мне: "День держись, братан!
Лучше протирай стакан!"
Tell me: "Seize the day, братан! (brother?)
Wipe a glass better! "

BTW: What is мужик?

Not "кабзд-ей" but "кобздец". If you know what "пи*дец" is, it's the same but not taboo. If you don't, it's like "you're dead" or whatever, a fatal outcome. So it will be something like "That's it! You're dead!".

BTW: What is мужик?

A spoken form (maybe even a little impolite) of "мужчина", a man.

Да и не тот я мужик, чтобы душу рвать

I'd suggest this translation -

I'm not the man to tear the soul apart.
