Ногу свело!



"Nogu Svelo! (Russian: Ногу свело! / Cramp in the Leg!) is a popular Russian rock band from Moscow, usually associated with humor and parody and accessible and sometimes childishly simple melodies. They have experimented with many styles in the past and seem to pay particular attention to instrumentation and arrangements and production values."

Text by Wikipedia.





"Московский романс" из альбома "Счастлива, потому что беременна: Синий альбом" (1997) / "Moscow Romance" from album "Happy because I'm pregnant. The Blue Album" (1997)

The text is a parody of a replica of beggars.







Excuse us, please
Help us, good people!
We ourselves are not local...
We were starving and wander.

We came for treatment
and we have all the documents stolen...
At the stations
have no place to stay in.

On the platform is the grandfather
Rickets and flat feet...
Sorry, we are to you
For assistance call.

Do not be angry, dear people...
Good luck!
Sorry for the appeal,
I wish you health and happiness...
Help, please!

Your land, your family...
Help, what will be able to!

"Волки" из альбома "Счастлива, потому что беременна: Зелёный альбом" (1999) / "Wolves" from album "Happy because I'm pregnant. The Green Album" (1999)








zom-zom, night behind the window
Starry night falls from the roof
The victims of the day the smell of the earth
And you look in the sky, I know you're not asleep
No, no, I have not forgotten
How many are with you, we, love, together
So, as we are, no one loved
Can a hundred years, maybe two hundred

Chorus:

If you fall asleep you, I too sleep
To always be near to you
If you go, I go
After you
As the night after the star

The cold, the shadow is not visible
You waited for the hour of the wolf
We are close, and our fangs
Remember the warmth of fresh meat

"Идем на Восток!" из альбома "Идем на Восток!" (2005) / "Going East!" from album "Going East!" (2005)

It is a soundtrack to the movie "The Turkish Gambit" / "Турецкий гамбит" (2005).








Crescent silent, and again with the mysterious East wind blew.
Crescent silent, and again go to war Petersburg and Istanbul.
Hanging month old, does not want a damn, does turn into the moon.
He listens to songs, sad songs about those who languish in captivity.

Life hung in the balance,
Step - and body on the slippery board.
Steel wanted blood sip
Steel wheezed: Go East!

Hum drums, but evil Ottomans sit and pass the city.
Whistling scimitars, but hazy sky lit up the young star.
Defeated the enemy, and sneaky traitor played his final gambit.
Silent crescent and the departing train looks sad.

Life hung in the balance
Step - and body on the slippery board
Steel wanted blood sip
Steel wheezed: Go East!
