Технология (Technology)

Original lyrics (Russian)

Lyrics below taken and adapted from Мир Песен.

Каждую ночь ты сидишь у окна
Перемещая звезды
Каждую ночь тебе не до сна
Все это так серьезно
Я помню, я знаю
Ветер в твоих руках
Искусственным раем
Бредишь в своих мечтах
Нажми на кнопку — получишь результат
И твоя мечта осуществится
Нажми на кнопку, но что же ты не рад
Тебе больше не к чему стремиться
В шорохе капель ночного дождя
Зашифровал надежду
Выстроил мир, где ты у руля
Что ж ты не спишь как прежде
Скажи, почему ты
медлишь исполнить план
Считая минуты
Смотришь на пустой экран
[x4]
Нажми на кнопку — получишь результат
И твоя мечта осуществится
Нажми на кнопку, но что же ты не рад
Тебе больше не к чему стремиться

Singable translation (English)

I have taken some artistic liberties with this translation, but the gist and feeling of the song has hopefully remained unchanged. You can compare the differences with the literal translation at the bottom of this page.

E-ve-ry night, by the window you sit
Shifting about the sta-ars
E-ve-ry night, when you get no sleep
Looking around so ha-arsh
I know, I remember
The wind you hold in your hands
In make-believe heaven
Your mumbled desires stand
So press the button — and you'll get a result
And all of your wishes will tru-u-u-ue
So press the button, but why are you not glad?
Now there's nothing to aim for or to do-o-o-o
In rumbling rain of the fall of the night
Ciphering hope in droplets
Building a world, where the wheel is your right
Why can't you sleep as always
So tell me, why do you
Fail to complete your deeds
And counting your minutes
You stare at the empty screens
[x4]
So press the button — and you'll get a result
And all of your wishes will tru-u-u-ue
So press the button, but why are you not glad?
Now there's nothing to aim for or to do-o-o-o

Literal translation (English)

Every night you sit by the window
Shifting around the stars
Every night you have no time for sleep
It's all so serious
I remember, I know
Wind in your hands
With artificial heaven
You ramble in your dreams
Press the button — you'll get a result
And your wish will actualize
Press the button, but why aren't you happy
There's no longer anything for you to aim for
In the rumble of the nighttime rain
Encoded hope
Built a world, where you're at the wheel
Why don't you sleep like before
Tell me, why you
Are slow in completing the plan
Counting minutes
You look at an empty screen
[x4]
Press the button — you'll get a result
And your wish will actualize
Press the button, but why aren't you happy
There's no longer anything for you to aim for
