Can anyone help me out on this one?
This is from the all chick group VIA-GRA.
Даже если вам немного за тридцать
Есть надежда выйти замуж за принца
Солнце всем на планете одинаково светит
Только пасмурно над нашей столицей
Он бы подошел - я бы отвернулась
Он бы подошел ко мне - я б ушла
Он бы подошел - я бы улыбнулась
Вот такие дела
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All the World. :D
Something like:
Even if you're a bit over thirty
There's still hope to marry a prince
The sun shines the same to everyone on the planet
Only it's cloudy over our capital
He'd approach - I'd turn away
He'd approach me - I'd leave
He'd approach - I'd smile
Such are things
Bleh.
I've translated the first verse, but I had trouble with the first line...
Even if you are (nemnogo) thirty
There's a hope to get married to a prince
On the planet the Sun shines the same to everyone
It's only overcast above our capital city
Now that's too ridiculous!!!
As soon as send in mine, Pravit already replied.
Oh, well!
I tried to help
Lol :D :D :D
I wasn't that sure about the first line either, but it's my best guess.
Pravit you are exactly right about the first line.
What puzzles me here is that this was not sung by VIAGRA originally but by Serduchka, that kind of drag-queen person :)
It was a very big hit last year. I believe it's called я не поняла. It was quite funny because I remember the first time I heard it I thought, hmm, that sounds like he's singing "я не поняла", but I must be hearing it wrong, because he's a man :)
It would be a bit weird if VIAGRA did a cover version of that ... ?
By the way I keep seeing this ultra-sexy video here in China with three buxom gals and they're singing in English, but I'm nearly sure it's that VIAGRA group ... they sing 'stop, stop, stop' or something and in the video they've got this kind of Sigmund Freud character. Is it them?
Dunno, I don't listen to Russian pop music. These lyrics are a bit of lame. :lol:
The song is definitely sung by VIA-GRA. I bought the CD while I was in Odessa.
Three tall, thin, gorgeous, buxom girls: one blonde, one red-head, and one brunette.
They also do sing a song called "Стоп! Стоп! Стоп!" but on my CD, the song is in Russian.
Ya ne ponyala!
lollool i just had to luagh when i read that. I have that cd too, and as much as id like to make fun of you for listening to such crap, well i must admit that i do it too.
Actually Krasnaya plesen' does a funny cover of that song too. But they are cool for makin fun of crappy pop music so its nothing new.
waxwing, you're right. It's a song of Верка Сердючка, but there's a version of it where she and ВИАГРА sing it together.
kwatts59, as far as I know, the right refrain is:
Он бы подошел, я бы отвернулась
Он бы приставал ко мне, я б ушла
Он бы зарыдал, я бы улыбнулась
Вот таки дела
Pravit, I think you'll manage to translate it as well ;)
Yeah, that's the correct refrain.
It's "таки дела", not "такие дела" because Сердючка mixes Ukrainian words and grammar into her (his) songs and stage speech for the flavor. (In proper Urkainian it would be spelled as "такi" though.)
А вообще, Сердючку обожаю! Так настроение подымает. :)
Crаp, there are two versions of this song!
The one i like better is called Вот такие дела but i only have 2 minutes of it. The other one is Я не поняла and they are both sung by Виа-гра. They have the same words but diffrent instruments and stuff.
Where did u get вот такие дела ?
By the way I remember another song called вот такие дела recently, I don't know who by, but it goes something like
вот такие дела, вот такие дела
делаю шаг вперёд, а ты отступаешь на два
blah blah .. a bit of lame, yes :)
but I thought this line was so typically Russian:
как хочется жить, жить, жить, и за это получать цветы ...
I can't imagine an English girl singing that somehow.

Here it is - http://bulanova.fanclubs.ru/album/vot_takie_dela.html
And I think that there are the same stupid pop songs in English as in Russian. Can't recall any of them though.
Oh, believe me, the depths of idiocy are well and truly plumbed by our chanteuses too :)
I only meant to say there is something peculiar to Russian culture in that line.
Как сказал Михаил Жванецкий: "Песни по смыслу приближаются к наскальной живописи". :DQuote:
