Bi-2 feat. Oxxymiron - Time To Go Back Home
Stale brown bread
Breaks the blunt knife
Staring at the blurred horizon
Silent rain dropping right from the celling
The news ticker is stuck in a binding
Cities burn with others’ love
Bendy path is snarled
When all roads bring you nowhere
It’s time to go back home
Noisy crowd is filling the platform
And the boy behind the glass
Keeps waving his hand
Every fate is connected to me
And in my memory stands
The house long time ruined
Cities burn with others’ love
Bendy path is snarled
When all roads bring you nowhere
It’s time to go back home
Oxxymiron:
The one flying to his death can’t be saved
With cypresses , the sky, the tan isn’t an armour
Here the wind is called monsoon, views like i’m dreaming
But how to blur the yen for the place we’re not at?
Here it neither comfort but nor Lefortovo(one of the Moscow districts which is full of garbage, construction sites but also has a nice park nearby. I live a few stations away, i was there - translator)
And you’re waiting to be teleported home to be stunned
Using the old formula, teleport home where there’s no Ordung( order in German)
Here you’ve seen everything: Dortmund mines, Cornell rocks
Morlocks herd from the earlier Orwell’s books
The wold is on stranger’s hand, while the connection to the point A is broken
But there’s a lump in my throat, working as a door keeper
A glass of vodka with Cheesano
The fuck should i do if the heart wins over the mind
And here it comes – tired of living as native’s stepson?
The paradise is behind but , unfortunately, we’re kamikaze
Coming for the world of gas cameras, Vlasov’s armies, mass executions
But still drown back, stop a little, we’re shaken
Entering the homeland anti-space
What should i do ? Say “stop”? Remain here, write for myself only?
Be frightened that i’ll die here like an emigrant’s vocab?
Without been fuelled with a real life talks
You’ve thought you can handle without it but the distance can’t be trimmed of
You’ve thought you’ll be fine, its okay, the distance heals
But your language isnt numbed at all, where are you going?
You’re like Ikar with your hands praying
Behind you are the roach races, Paris and Stambul
300g of cognac, plane goes up and suddenly turns in a point - go on, friend,
And down there…
Cities burn with others’ love
Bendy path is snarled
When all roads bring you nowhere
It’s time to go back home
Cities burn with others’ love
Bendy path is snarled
When all roads bring you nowhere
It’s time to go back home

Bi-2 — Prayer
Keep silent , souls are on the rooftop
Breathing slowly before jumping off
I can hear your thoughts, everything important to us goes down
How to tell it simpler, without loosing it, without ripping
We’re here forever, like a river, like words of a prayer
Everything besides love, whole life of ours, is so far away
I, I’m not alone but without you I’m just nobody
Ashes is light and bright
I haven’t noticed the time going by
Magic powers are fading and pearls are turned in the glass
It’s so empty in soul, without miracles, without magic
We’re here for a moment , let it sound just like the words of a prayer
Everything besides love, whole life of ours, is so far away
I, I’m not alone but without you I’m just nobody
Everything besides love, whole life of ours, is so far away
I, I’m not alone but without you I’m just nobody
Everything besides love, whole life of ours, is so far away
I, I’m not alone but without you I’m just nobody

Bi-2 – Pilot
I don’t know where have we mistaken in our calculations
Maybe in air masses counting
While being in a hangover
I’ve been shot above the desert
My exhausting burden drowns me down
Maybe, i’m in fault for something in the past?
Apostles have lost the hope to weight the soul in grams
And now they’re out for an advert pause
But if I believe not to anyone’s unwritten rules
This piece of metal is my crucifixion
Night stars are my medals
I’m the pilot shot down, they’ve got to me
I can see the ones who have ordered this festival
But my body refuses the orders
Music plays terribly loud
And burning pieces dance the round dance
The figure is stuck in retraction of light
All is left - uncomfortable answers
How important is the result of my job?
I don’t care now
But if I believe not to anyone’s unwritten rules
This piece of metal is my crucifixion
Night stars are my medals
I’m the pilot shot down, they’ve got to me
But if I believe not to anyone’s unwritten rules
This piece of metal is my crucifixion
Night stars are my medals
I’m the pilot shot down, they’ve got to me
But if I believe not to anyone’s unwritten rules
This piece of metal is my crucifixion
Night stars are my medals
I’m the pilot shot down, they’ve got to me

Splean feat Bi-2 – P.S. Fellini
lines by Bi-2
lines by Splean
both
In one of Federico Fellini’s unfilmed movies
On a thin ice in a glass of martini
He takes heroine
She takes heroine
And a double solid line between them
It was hot between them just a second ago
And for now they’re splited by the snows of Kilimanjaro
Ammo in a girdle
With eyes on eye medicine
And they’re breathing in the poisonous air
You
You shouldn’t think of death
I want to find a letter in an empty envelope
And read it to you
In one of Federico Fellini’s unfilmed movies
There are snows of Kilimanjaro
He takes heroine
She takes heroine
And they’re breathing in the poisonous air
You shouldn’t think of death
I want to find a letter in an empty envelope
And read it to you
You shouldn’t think of death
I want to find a letter in an empty envelope

Splean – Oncoming Lane
From the beginning ages, from the darkness of centuries
From myth, from tales. from legends
From the words once accidentally told
With an unknown accompaniment
We’re going on the oncoming lane
We’re going to the place everyone goes from
Have a look around an smile
Wipe the mirror with your hand and you won’t recognize the reflection
Call yourself home once you’re awake
And you’ll wake up only if you want to
And I don’t know how to help you
You’ve been born n tears and you’ll die of laugher
I had cut the tram wires, but the tram has left anyways
We’re going on the oncoming lane
We’re going on the oncoming lane
We’re going on the oncoming lane
We’re going to the place everyone goes from
I remember you not more often than the one lost in the woods remembers his home
I forget about you not more rarely than the night is forgotten once the sun rises
I’m hugging you, you’re a bit drunk and in a beautiful dress
The honk sounding, they honk to us, damn it!
We’re going on the oncoming lane
We’re going on the oncoming lane
We’re going on the oncoming lane
We’re going to the place everyone goes from

Boris Grebenshikov - Love At Times Of War
I can’t remember when we crossed the line
But here we are — dim skies above the broken road
The end of that road is the promised rest - and it’s a lie
Winter flag waves above us
No faces have our enemies, neither got we
Don’t you dare coming closer less you say who you are
Engines ragely roaring outside
Woods is buried in asphalt
There we were revealed something that can’t be put into words
I can hear shovels working
Guns of the sunset pointed at us
But soon their ammo’s gonna blow inside of their guns
I feel shadows surrounding us
Rivier is on fire, bridges above it are opened
God in His kindness gives us what we’ve wanted
Love, love, love
Love at times of war
And I give my hand to yours
But it feels like poring gasoline into fire
Hands merged, we go down
I’ve learned this drivel by heart
I can’t remember whom i’ve been
Don’t know whom have i become
But my blood nowadays is tougher than steel
They’ll have a bad luck once i’m awake
I surely know that there is no snow around me
But it covers me, my eyes can’t see the spring
Oh God, tell me , who are we if we had wanted
Love, Love love
Love, love ,love
To be only at times of war

Bi-2- The Hell
Christ is stinking up being investigated
Waiting for the judge for two thousand years
Greedy government is like a storm
A hell which you belong in
Chorus
A rain of ashes poring from the eyes
Black void is watching us
No other road left ahead
If you’re into hell I’ll follow you
Rock’n’roll music seem to be smelly
In a deadly bog of a slavery love
We’ve lost every war of ours
But the greatest battle is going within
Chorus
A rain of ashes poring from the eyes
Black void is watching us
No other road left ahead
If you’re into hell I’ll follow you
Chorus
A rain of ashes poring from the eyes
Black void is watching us
No other road left ahead
If you’re into hell I’ll follow you
Chorus
A rain of ashes poring from the eyes
Black void is watching us
No other road left ahead
If you’re into hell I’ll follow you
P.S: “The Hell”, or , more accurately, “The Heat” is one of the newest Russian songs of 2020 and is great

Kis-kis— Tuesday
Alarm goes off in the morning
Yet my head feels so dull
Looks like I’ve got to get up
Senseless stuff around me
Nothing left but troubles
All I want to do is tell ‘em
(F-k it x3)
Calls and messaging with no mood at all
Answer to everyone is simple
(F-k it x3)
Won’t bother all about it
Issues are boring
I’d better make myself a day off
I am gonna start today
Tell all the duties “Bye”
Gonna get some time for evening
Too lazy to go studying
A bottle of a beer
Great plan for a Tuesday!
Can’t get off the bed
Too tired , time to stop it
No will to get up
The party will be cool
With gaming and a fridge
Can’t really wait to start
(F-k it x3)
My friends for this day
Are fast food and cigarettes
Series, movies and online
(F-k it x3)
In spite of the dull duties
It’s easy not to bother
I’ve waited for this for so long
I am gonna start today
Tell all the duties “Bye”
Gonna get some time for evening
Too lazy to go studying
A bottle of a beer
Great plan for a Tuesday!
I am gonna start today
Tell all the duties “Bye”
Gonna get some time for evening
Too lazy to go studying

F-k it!
F-k it!
F-k it!
The best Tuesday of my life
F-k it!
F-k it!
F-k it!
Yeah !
B-2 — Compromise
Oh my dear friend
What have you done to yourself?
You’ve been slim and young
A heart-hunter
Drinking and smoking
Lighting and quenching
You’ve thought you’re gonna stay the same till the end
The age of Christ is left behind
And your dream has washed off and turned
Dust lies on the strings
A broken tv rotting under your window
You’ve smoothen every edge
And your life now is just a damn compromise
Neither up, nor down
My dear friend
How do you cope with the melancholy?
Do you choose drinking or sports ?
Maybe risk a little, revive the past
Take your last chord
The age of Christ is left behind
And your dream has washed off and turned
Dust lies on the strings
A broken tv rotting under your window
You’ve smoothen every edge
And your life now is just a damn compromise
Neither up, nor down
Dust lies on the strings
A broken tv rotting under your window
You’ve smoothen every edge
And your life now is just a damn compromise
Neither up, nor down
B-2 — Lightening up
The sun swallows these two silver wings so jealously
Your dear friend won’t ever come back to this city
And the lights on the tired streets
Will miss you
Only they can’t kill the sadness in the heart
And lightening up these drunk stars
Will be so hard without you
Your hero won’t know the float of your eyelashes
And won’t know if something happens to you over the sea
Other sky is now with him, clouds above his head
And the angel follows him - an unknown and stranger one
And lightening up these drunk stars
Will be so hard without you
This insidious breakup hugging her like a sister
Turning her hands into two silver wings
All the whispering of rain is a waste of time - she didn’t take it serious
And everything is now broken into pieces of uncried tears
And lightening up these drunk stars
Will be so hard without you
And lightening up these drunk stars
Will be so hard without you
B-2 feat. Varya Demidova — Angel
Before it has became a dream, there was a non-rhymed time
There was the place for the two of us
Before it has became nothing there was freedom and loyalty
There was sense in the dialogs of our dates
Oh, my angel
Be mine and be with me
Between this ground and the skies
Oh, my angel
With a couple of wings
Be my ground and the skies
Before I was tired
There were lights in the dark
We were the wind in the rain
Before I have known why am I so alone
There were a ton of different reasons why
Oh, my angel
Be mine and be with me
Between this ground and the skies
Oh, my angel
With a couple of wings
Be my ground and the skies
To everyone noticed, skies wait for a witness in the rain
Somewhere where we have forgotten what we love in our world
In the rain
Oh, my angel
Oh, my angel
Oh, my angel
Be mine and be with me
Between this ground and the skies
Oh, my angel
With a couple of wings
Be my ground and the skies
Angel is a song of The Uncounted Warrior project — a rock lab where B-2 combine their tutor’s M.Karasev’s lyrics with their own music and collaborate with different Russian artists of different genres. Being a total fan of B-2 I adore these songs. Well, mostly
B-2 feat Picnic — The Island
Wait a little, let the sunset settle down on your shoulders
I haven’t breathed yet, haven’t listened to the sound of your laugh enough
Wait a little, you may scare off this evening
And we will lose each other in the dark
We’ve closed our eyes and thought up an island
Thought up the wind and our names
And yet we don’t know whom of us at dawn
Will wait for the wave to cover them
This island where everything isn’t like we supposed it should be
This island where every step feels like the bell tearing the skies
Wait a little, let the sunset settle down on your shoulders
I haven’t breathed, haven’t breathed that easily yet
Wait a little, let the wind do it for you
It covers the traces of our feet, covering these with sand
This island where everything isn’t like we supposed it should be
This island where every step feels like the bell tearing the skies
This island where everything isn’t like we supposed it should be
This island where every step feels like the bell tearing the skies
Well, this song is a collab outside of the UW, but the lyrics are written by Ethmund Shkarskiy - the frontman of Picnic. I do listen to his music but this is my first attempt to translate the lyrics as they’re usually… well, not so translatable
B-2 - Depression
They sell a substitute of a dream to us with daintily cynicis
But the myth of a sweet life won’t fill in the emptiness
We will go out of our houses
Out of the desparate depression
It’s been so long since we had that much of a fun together
Happiness doesn’t have a concrete recipe
The ideal is yet so boring
Emotions lull in a black pound
And make a tenth wave in your chest
We will go out of our houses
Out of the desparate depression
It’s been so long since we had that much of a fun together
We will go out of our houses
Out of the desparate depression
It’s been so long since we had that much of a fun together
We will go out of our houses
Out of the desparate depression
It’s been so long since we had that much of a fun together
It’s really HARD to believe, but this song has been written before the actual pandemic, in september 2019. The vocalist didn’t like the style so they’ve decided to postpone it and re-record it after the tour was over but the covid… and yes, according to their vocalist the lyrics hasn’t been changed. The actual clip is filmed in a complete lockdown, a cameraman with a mask has been driving around their houses to film the guys lol

Agatha Christie - Family feast
Mom has been been at the kitchen
And there suddenly was a lighting
Which made her eyes glow with a strange blue-green light
And she suddenly yelled: “That’s all! Stop it! I don’ want to!”
Opened up the gas and started breaking the dishes
Cause your mom is such a lively one
Yeah, your mother is such a lively one
Oh-oh-oh
Grandpa had been quiet and sweet
He has been bombing Berlin in his head
But this thunder’s driven him insane, made him run around yelling: “War! Hooray! Go ahead, honey!”
Sister has been squish pimples
Dreaming of lots of moustached men
But the sight of such things has made her to understand
Yes, this world is out of love, but she has still loved
So she went on the balcony and stepped over the edge
Cause your sis is such a lively one
Yeah, your sister is such a lively one
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Yeah, our family is such a lively one
A simple, a simple , a normal family
Yeah, our family is such a lively one
A simple, a simple , a normal family
B-2 — A Thousand Miles
Day has gone by with no miracles
With no tricks of bore
Haven’t tried to reach the skies
Haven’t stood one step before the void
It’s so sad but this is the reality
I’m half asleep waiting for my train
Maybe it’ll get me home or maybe not
Rails crossing at the horizon
A thousand miles left behind
Happiness is when you can just say goodbye
Without keeping the empty talk
Say goodbye with no pain or sadness
Solitude requires some space
I’m tired to be one of the sidekicks from your series
Tired of coming once the city’s asleep
Tired of leaving once the sun is here
It’s so sad but this is the reality
I’m half asleep waiting for my train
Maybe it’ll get me home or maybe not
Rails crossing at the horizon
A thousand miles left behind
Happiness is when you can just say goodbye
Without keeping the empty talk
Say goodbye with no pain or sadness
Solitude requires some space
I’m half asleep waiting for my train
Maybe it’ll get me home or maybe not
Rails crossing at the horizon
A thousand miles left behind
Happiness is when you can just say goodbye
Without keeping the empty talk
Say goodbye with no pain or sadness
Solitude requires some space

B-2 - Only Love Can Fix it
The feast is now over, all the medals are taken
The screen goes out black
Goodbye, Olympiad
Bore in its beginning sounding in the night sky
Radio playing in the park for the lonely birds
Our time is too short to look for reasons
Anything that the fate breaks only love can fix
The trace is now gone, the race is over
And the sunrise falls to your palms
The light conquers the darkness
Heart is saving the head
This is an end to everything
Or the beginning of something new
Our time is too short to look for reasons
Anything that the fate breaks only love can fix
Our time is too short to look for reasons
Anything that the fate breaks only love can fix
Our time is too short to look for reasons
Anything that the fate breaks only love can fix
