Raz, dva posle pyati
Раз, два после пяти
One, two after five
I think "after five" refers to after 5:00 p.m. (1700) in the evening. See:

A5 (After Five) - "после пяти".
But wait and see what the regular posters say.
Considering the rest of the translation of the song ( http://www.geocities.com/etvaca/yasoschla.html )
and wondering why the translator chose "one" for raz or раз, I think "one" here refers to the guy who is there alone, without the girl, at 2 minutes after 5:00 p.m.

мама, папа прости
я сошла с ума.
Есть мнение: Раз стопка... Два стопка... После пяти (стопок) мама, папа прости. Я сошла с ума.
=)
Раз два после пяти
Не девочкой домой теперь мне идти
Раз, два после пяти
Живым домой мне не дойти...
Семь, восемь
Вас маньяк прибьёт без спросу...
Раз-два раз-два. В ногу.

Thank you.
I knew the lyrics were "1, 2 after 5"
But I didnt quite understand why they would say one, two after five.
These replies have been very helpful in helping me understand what they mean.
It's easy understandable. She went mad and can't count now. :)

It just means "one, two, come after five" as in, she's so crazily in love she can't count properly.
Один means 'alone', but Раз doesn't. Раз only means 'one' in the context of counting, i.e. "раз, два, три, четыре".
And be careful how you use dictionaries.
If the dictionary says that Раз = oдин, that doesn't mean it automatically has every single nuance and idiomatic usage that один has and can be used in every context.
I know what Ya Soshla S Uma means. It means Ive Lost My Mind, right? Or Im going crazy, either way, I know shes lost her mind, haha.Quote:

My comment about dictionaries was directed at Ken Watts, not at you :PQuote:

I'm going mad is: Я схожу с ума
Also in the same song there's the line "Это сводит с ума" which means "It's driving me crazy".
Also there is an adjective formed from the above expression: сумашедший (crazy, mad).
If you're interested, the literal meaning of я сошла с ума is "I've come down from my mind"

Thanks for the explanation. I thought that since there was no comma after two (Раз, два после пяти) that this phrase did not involve counting, and so I thought one meant something other than the number one, like one alone. But I can see everybody else indicates that it involves counting. So I see I went too far with the Один reference.Quote:
