Translation requested, "Крошка моя" by Руки вверх

[anpheus.livejournal.com]

Hello, I've unfortunately taken Russian for all of about one year total, and haven't had the chance to continue studying. Independently studying, while appealing, wasn't really possible at the time. Could someone please donate their time towards translating this song?

Крошка моя я по тебе скучаю
Я от тебя письма не получаю
Ты далеко и даже не скучаешь,
Но я вернусь, вернусь, и ты узнаешь...
Что я далеко я по тебе скучаю
Я от тебя письма не получаю
Ты далеко и даже не скучала,
Но я вернусь, вернусь, чтоб ты узнала.....
Что я далеко от тебя....

Ты обещала написать, обещала рассказать,
Как живешь, как тебе там плохо
Ты обещала долго ждать, и страдать
И сгорать от любви, но это невозможно!
Нет, нет ни строчки от тебя
Ни словечка от тебя, зря поверил я твоим признаньям
Да, может это было зря, может это было зря
Ты прости, ну чтож за наказанье..

Крошка моя я по тебе скучаю
Я от тебя письма не получаю
Ты далеко и даже не скучаешь,
Но я вернусь, вернусь, и ты узнаешь...
Что я далеко от тебя....

Что, что еще произошло, столько времени прошло
Ты не едешь не звонишь, не пишешь
Да, может быть твое письмо затерялось, не дошло
Напиши еще разок, ты слышишь?
Все, все отлично у меня дома ждут меня друзья
Говорят, что ты по мне скучаешь...
Вот, вот девчонки, так всегда
Ждет солдат от вас письма, а дойдет 100 раз перечитает...

Крошка моя я по тебе скучаю
Я от тебя письма не получаю
Ты далеко и даже не скучаешь,
Но я вернусь, вернусь, и ты узнаешь...
Что я далеко я по тебе скучаю
Я от тебя письма не получаю
Ты далеко и даже не скучала,
Но я вернусь, вернусь, чтоб ты узнала.....
Что я далеко от тебя....

Edit: Egads, I wasn't asking for your opinion on the choice of music or the artist. Come off it and just help someone rather than criticize them, for once. Please?

it's sad to see that this band is known abroad :(

[portugalist.livejournal.com]

it's shame!!! absolutely stupid song! :-((((

[c-roja.livejournal.com]

Oh, believe me, it really doesn't worth trying =)))))

[the-striped.livejournal.com]

it's such disgusting song!.. not any price!))
sorry))

[salexey.livejournal.com]

Так из и disgusting. Обыкновенная попсовая песня. Можно подумать англо-американская попса больше смысла имеет.

[alamar.livejournal.com]

Why on earth would you want to know translation, ever? :(

[alon_68]

He is studying Russian. I doubt we can suggest people without the deep knowledge of the language to read Akhmatova or listen to Okudjava :)

[alamar.livejournal.com]

Then I would go for Кино. Simple yet very interesting lyrics :)

[nejromant.livejournal.com]

Cinema its no lyrick but song...............uderground of that time

[ilia-yasny.livejournal.com]

It's nonsense. You better listen to something else.

[iseloom.livejournal.com]

the whole thing is about a guy who doesnt receive letters from his gf

but it's not really worth your time

[john-wood.livejournal.com]

Not really what I call good translation ... but.. since nobody else
wants to do it:


Baby, I miss you
You don't write me. [I don't get any letters from you]
You are far away but you don't miss me
But I'll be back, I'll be back, and you'll see....
That I'm far away, that I miss you
I don't get any letters from you
You are far away but you didn't even miss me
But I'll be back, I'll be back, so you'd know
That I'm far away from you.

You promised to write, promised to tell
(about) how you live, how you feel miserable
You promissed to wait and suffer
And burn from love, but it's impossible!
But no, there is nothing from you [he means no letters from her]
No word from you, I shouldn't have believed your confessions
Yes, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have
Forgive me, (but) why do I deserve this punishment

Baby, I miss you
You don't write me. [I don't get any letters from you]
You are far away but you don't miss me
But I'll be back, I'll be back, and you'll see....
That I'm far away from you.

What could have happened, so much time has passed
You don't visit, you don't call, you don't write
Yes, perhaps your letter got lost
Please write it again, you hear me?
Everything's great, my friends are expecting me home
They say you miss me..
Girls, it's always like this
Soldier waits for a letter from you, and if he gets it, he'll read it 100 times

Baby, I miss you
You don't write me. [I don't get any letters from you]
You are far away but you don't miss me
But I'll be back, I'll be back, and you'll see....
That I'm far away from you, that I miss you...
I don't get any letters from you
You are far away but you didn't miss me
But I'll be back, I'll be back, so you'd know
That I'm far away from you.

[nejromant.livejournal.com]

Its look like "I miss you " by Hadaway))

[buddah-gautama.livejournal.com]

:)))

[temcat.livejournal.com]

Hm, it looks significantly better in translation :-D

[ob-ivan.livejournal.com]

rofl, it really does! XDDD

[noser.livejournal.com]

It's because those brain-dead rhymes are gone.

[capricosha.livejournal.com]

bravo:-) you did it
In English it sounds much prettier indeed

[lexabear.livejournal.com]

Okay, to somewhat counter all the negative comments above, I'll have to share with you my shameful love of Руки вверх. No, I admit they're not really any good, but damn are some of their songs catchy...

So you're not the only one!

[iris76.livejournal.com]

cheeezeee, now you are happy?:-)look at the translation, it's the same moronic non-sense. just like it is in russian. maybe you shouldn't get so upset with people telling you that this "song" is pure crap and choose something more meaningful for people to translate for you? just a thought, dont't take peronal:-)

[si-seule.livejournal.com]

Why does something have to be meaningful for one to want to understand it? I think learning a language is best when you try to understand everything, from a food ingredients label to a song which is pure crap. Whether it is deep and intellectually stimulating to a native speaker is irrelevant. The poster just wanted to understand something in Russian, not hear everyone's opinions on the song.

[iris76.livejournal.com]

I understand your point. But, sometimes it's better not to try to understand UNUNDERSTANDABLE:-)

KSP/pseudo-Russian pseudo-rock must die

[ekeme-ndiba.livejournal.com]

Don't listen to these canting hypocrites, that's really good catchy dance music.

Re: KSP/pseudo-Russian pseudo-rock must die

[nejromant.livejournal.com]

Its not dance musik but glamour gothic musik

Re: KSP/pseudo-Russian pseudo-rock must die

[malyek.livejournal.com]

[amberson.livejournal.com]

Hey, mate, this text is a stuppid snotty garbage RUSSIAN pops-song.

Re: KSP/pseudo-Russian pseudo-rock must die

[temcat.livejournal.com]

Could you please enlighten us as to what you classify as KSP and pseudo-Russian pseudo-rock. Also interesting why you mention them at all while none has ever said anything like that (apart from Kino). You're just starting a flamewar here.

That said, the author's request was completely legitimate, it's just that not many people can be bothered to translate the lyrics of Ruki Vverkh ;-) Really, this is not an example of good Russian, regardless of whether it's a good dance music.

Re: KSP/pseudo-Russian pseudo-rock must die

[ekeme-ndiba.livejournal.com]

You're just starting a flamewar here.

Oh no, vice versa. I was just offended by the fact that people started to propagate their faux sense of taste instead of answering the question ;-)

[ob-ivan.livejournal.com]

Situations where it's better not to know the truth do exist. What ppl tried to say, is that this *is* one.
And you know, I share their opinion.

[nexty59.livejournal.com]

Учите русский, перцы =)))
Leane russian =)

[asey.livejournal.com]

А ты учи английский!
Learn english jedrona mat! :-)

[ningen-shinri.livejournal.com]

Wow! It seems that people think this is a really 'crumb-y' song! XDDDDDDDD
