Мерин [Merin] [English translation]

I'm sitting in the underpass with my guitar, people pass me by,

oh, look, what did they throw? Looks like a quarter...

Shit, I've been playing for about an hour, but it's all in vain,

Completely pointless - everyone's so stingy!

Why on earth did I leave my ghetto and come to the city center?

I thought I'd make a buck, but there's nothing here!

If only I had a BMW or a Mercedes, it would be cool - *

It's much better with one, than without.

Riding the subway is stressful, especially during rush hour,

Some guy steps on your toes, or a woman makes you mad.

And if you're dead tired, it's better not to even go down there.

Even the best mood will go to hell.

Driving down the highway in a car - now that's a different matter,

Admiring how beautiful the world is from behind the windshield.

Foot on the gas, everyone in the car in ecstasy,

After a couple of rounds, well, anyway, you get me, bro!

[Chorus]

I need a Mercedes - that's for sure,*

Well if not a Mercedes, then at least a BMW!**

I need a Mercedes - that's for sure,

Well if not a Mercedes, then at least a BMW!

Another hour has passed. I'm still in the underpass,

Girls pass me by, gliding like models on the runway.

Is my rap coupled with my guitar really so bad?

Hey honey, throw me some change, please! "Get lost!"

And if I wanted to pick this chick up in a BMW?**

She's be sitting inside already, that would be funny...

Hello, Mr Policeman. One second:

Here I was, and now I'm gone.

Business didn't go well today, I'm gonna go home,

I'll go to have lunch at my girlfriend's on the way.

So, how much have I got? Very nice.

I don't even have enough for gas, let alone a Mercedes.

And this cop, asshole, messed it all up for me,

And why? Of course because I don't have a damn car!

That's ok, I'll go play at another spot tomorrow,

People there will donate some dough for my new method of transportation...

[Chorus]

I'm riding on the escalator, I'm standing on the right,

I accidentally hit some guy with the neck of the guitar.

"Hey, what the fuck's your problem?" Sorry, I didn't mean to,

I said, adjusted the guitar case and got off the escalator.

Then some old ugly woman in a T-shirt with a band logo on it

Came up to me and asked "Spare some change?"

Sure, I'd give you the whole wallet,

If only you weren't so fucking ugly!

I'm coming up to the house and I see, sparking in the sunshine,

Someone's iron horse is standing next to the entrance.

I see my girl is coming out, with some dude

- Yeah, I didn't foresee such a happy ending.

He opens the door, she gets in the car,

I get it, shit, bye-bye lunch!

I'm standing, fucking stupefied, watching them drive off,

Now I know even better what I need in this life...

[Chorus]
