90 [English translation]

[Verse 1, Monetochka:]

I was conceived in a video store,

Somewhere under gunfire, under the barking and howling.

Street kids threatened me with a screwdriver:

"Hey, come on, give us the CD!" It hurts, ouch!

Vodka mixed with gasoline, guzzled in litres

Only the most cunning survived past 10pm.

When the iron got melted, little fingers were lost

Stealing cars, smuggling discs

Dividing rooms is fun with a friend at the dacha

Dividing a country – that’s a bit of a different task...

Now how is it even possible to fuck it up so badly?!

It’s a good thing now these days everything is totally different!

[Chorus:]

We smoked anything but cigarettes

It's been extinguished and forgotten: the past is the past

And it was only from the tapes of Krovostok’s songs

That I learned with childlike horror about how:

In the 90’s, people were killing each other,

And they ran around completely naked

Electricity was nowhere

Just fighting over jeans and Coca-Cola

The guys put their crosses on

Ironed strawberry coloured jackets

And went to the dance - until blood came from their ears

And only "Laskoviy May” played on the radio.

[Verse 2, Monetochka:]

And I don’t live so badly, drinking tea with sugar.

I’m writing on a new MacBook a book about sadness

It's easy to write as such in an insulated house

Quite enough stories from grandpa and dad.

It’s enough material for a new album,

I listen to that gang - businessmen surrender alive

They are resurrected by another verse's beat

But it's all wrong, and they are absent quite often.

Spies giggling late at night

Making patriotic faces;

Swearing in English

But it’s a fucking trend, which means its okay!

[Chorus:]

We smoked anything but cigarettes

It's been extinguished and forgotten: the past is the past

And only from the tapes of Krovostok’s songs

That I learned with childlike horror about how:

In the 90’s, people were killing each other,

And they ran around completely naked

Electricity was nowhere

Just fighting over jeans and Coca-Cola

The guys put their crosses on

Ironed strawberry coloured jackets

And went to the dance - until blood came from their ears

And only "Laskoviy May” played on the radio.

[Outro:]

In the 90’s, people were killing each other!

In the 90’s, people were killing each other!
