    First of all Mikhail Krug belongs to so called genre of 'блатные песни' = 'songs of/for criminal underground'. You need no to belong to criminal to listen them, but they are not appropriate for central TV often, for example. This one is some kind of neutral.
    'Девочка-пай' (devochka-pai) is reverse of 'Пай-девочка' which is 'good girl' in sense of child obeing parents, living good and right life of innocence and so on.
    This song is about relations between criminal guy with 'good girl'.
    I have no time to do complete translation, so there is translation of refrain. I divide text by rhythm.

    Как (pause) было тепло // It was so warm
    Что нас с тобой // so you and me
    вместе свело // came together

    Девочка-пай // good girl
    рядом жиган // with rogue
    и хулиган // and hooligan

    В нашей Твери // Our Tver (city) don't know // keep in mind - 'our' means 'criminal Tver'
    нету таких // such a girls
    Даже среди // Even amongst
    шкур центровых // the chicks/bitches from central district

    Девочка-пай // Good girl
    ты не грусти // don't be sad
    и не скучай // and don't be bored // in russian can be perceived as 'don't miss me' because of context

    Hey Alex80,

    Thank you for offering that bit of translation. It gives me more of an idea of the song that keeps playing across the hall! If that kind of music is not suitable for central tv (etc) how does one get into it? Is it just like some people like genres of gangsta rap or something? Just wondering!

    My neighbor must be in a break-up then or have questionable taste in music. :P
