Песня для радио [Pesnya dlya radio] [English translation]

Song for radio broadcast - here it is, all done!

Not one foul word, and a poppy chorus.

And don't even try to wrong me later:

Like, it doesn't suit the format of our station!

I didn't mention any forbidden topics,

Didn't contradict any morals or law:

You'll ask, why did I even go up to the microphone?

Well, a rapper has to say something alongside the beats!

Not a word about drugs, not a syllable about politics,

Not a letter in address of critics that do not like me.

I won't load you with stuff about how terrifying life is,

Like it's dangerous to go out at night;

Like and the girlfriend left me, and I'm tight on money;

And like all I've got left is to sigh and groan.

No, everything is much simpler - I make a serious face,

And mumble my rap alongside three rad accords!

Call me shitty music, accuse me in anything you want.

You will listen to me anyway, I know for sure.

You'll get a pirate copy and won't tell your friends...

Call me shitty music - I won't even take offence!

The girls will call the radio and ask:

"Hello to tenth grade "B", put on Noize MC!"

DJ will reply "OK!" and will click Play,

To the delight of the caller and her friends.

Then, scrambling like a mountaineer on to Everest,

I'll force myself into the top charts

And will hang there until everyone is sick of me,

And after I'll release an album called "The Best",

Where you'll find this track plus twenty five remixes.

Now, I can almost see how chicks are crowding up at the stalls...

Excellent sales, it's all sold out,

Mad hype surrounding my persona...

Yes, I dream about it. And it's as if you don't?

Oh, you're an unrecognized genius... a street poet...

Of course, you're not like me at all, I am a mercenary scab.

And I couldn't care less about nonprofit hip-hop!

Call me shitty music, accuse me in anything you want.

You will listen to me anyway, I know for sure.

You'll get pirate copy and won't tell your friends...

Call me shitty music - I won't even take offence!
