Road, AuktsYon (1995)
Дорога, АукцЫон (1995)
Today’s song may appeal to rock lovers.
Leodin Fedorov, the leader of the band Auktsyon, came up the melody of the song “Road” in the summer of 1992, when “AuktsYon” was on tour in Hamburg. He left the house for a walk and returned with a motive for the future composition. He and Dmitry Ozersky, another member of the band, immediately began to compose the lyrics. A couple of months later, when they returned to Russia, they completed work on the song which was included in the album “Bird”.
The lyrics of the song do not have any deep meaning, but the listeners liked it nevertheless. While Fedorov admitted that he does not like this album too much, most fans of “AuktsYon” consider it the most successful in the discography of the band. It brought back the attention of the old fans of the band and attracted new ones. But the real boom of public interest began in 2000 after the release of the movie “Brother 2”.
Since then, “AuktsYon” had to perform “Road” at every live performance. It got to the point that they stopped including it in their concert programs.
Lyrics and translation
Я сам себе́ и не́бо, и луна́,
Го́лая, дово́льная луна́,
До́лгая доро́га, да и то не моя́.
За мно́ю зажига́ли города́,
Глу́пые, чужи́е города́,
Там меня́ люби́ли, то́лько э́то не я́.
О, зо́на!
Ожида́ет напряжённо
Роднико́вая.
Я сам себе́ и не́бо и луна́
Го́лая, дово́льная луна́
До́лгая доро́га бескайфо́вая.I'm the heaven and the moon on my own,
Naked and happy moon,
Long road but even not of mine.
They burnt cities after me,
Stupid and foreign cities.
They loved me there, but it's not me.
Oh, zone!
It is waiting intensely,
It is pure.
I'm the heaven and the moon on my own,
Naked and happy moon,
Long road but even not of mine.
Меня́ держа́ла за́ ноги земля́,
Го́лая тяжёлая земля́,
Ме́дленно люби́ла пережёвывая.
И пы́лью улета́ла в облака́,
Крыльями мета́ла облака́
До́лгая доро́га бескайфо́вая.
О, зо́на!
Ожида́ет напряжённо
Беспросве́тная.
Я сам себе́ и не́бо, и луна́
Го́лая, дово́льная луна́.
Я лета́ю где́-то, то́лько э́то не я́.The ground was holding my feet,
Bare ground earth,
It loved me while chewing me slowly.
And it flew into the clouds like dust,
It threw clouds with its wings,
Long road with no fun.
Oh, zone!
It is waiting intensely,
It is dark and hopeless.
I'm the heaven and the moon on my own,
Naked and happy moon,
I fly somewhere, only it's not me.
