i looked in my dictionary, yes thats right, dictionary, funny i failed to mention it before because it sucks. anyways, the closest thing it had was like прощение, and прощения.... or somthing, i don't really remember, anyways. it said that those mean "Forgiveness, or a farewell". so, i heard in a song
Я не попрошу прощенья, I don't ask for forgiveness ?
Everithyng is OK. "Прощения" is a genitive from "прощение/прощенье". Попросить прощения = to ask smb's pardon.
BTW many words on -ение behave like this - they usually drop "и " vowel and replace it with ь. Usually these forms are mere variants of the same, sometimes they have different shades of meaning.
воскресение - воскресенье, расставание - расставанье etc.
Farewell is прощание (-нье).
So, she's saying "i don't ask for a pardon" ?
Forgiveness or pardon? Aren't they synonyms?
Now that i think about it... yes ! so my first translation was correct !. so i was listening to russian radio, and i heard this, in the chorus, he kept repeating this word, but i cant find it anywhere, and i even asked a russian, she had no idea
"Zhalonaya" ? :| :?:
I have no idea about this. When a chorus sings a song, especially not good chorus, I can't get what they sing. :D When I studied in a college there was a musicl teacher and she told us about some rules of chorus singing. For example it is important to say endings very clear otherwise the words meaning will be ununderstandable to listeners and the like. Do you remember some words of that song or may be its title?Quote:

how do you say in russian "what's on your mind" or, "i got stuff on my mind."
what's on your mind - что ты думаешь/что у тебя на уме/о чём ты думаешьQuote:

I'm not sure about the actual meaning, but I think it is "to collect some data (in my mind)" and "to understand". If so, a good translation is "вбить в голову", or "дошло!" or "до меня дошло". All are informal.Quote:

желание ?-- a wish or desire?
well, i think drew's is the closest, but i know i heard an ая ending, and there was no б... oh well, i'll listen again. and, in english when we say "what's on your mind" it's usually not a good thing. like for example
1. What's wrong, why are you so quite? got somthing on your mind ?
2. yea, my parents just got divorced.
or,
1. man why arn't you having any fun ?
2. i got stuff on my mind
1. like what?
2.trying to learn russian, it's just too hard.
Does this help ?
1. Что с тобой?/Что не так? Почему молчишь? Тебя что-то беспокоит?/О чем-то задумался?Quote:

2. Да вот, думаю...
1. О чем?
2. Учу английский, а он такой сложный.
Может это "желанная" (desired)?
