The song “Мой город не спит” (My City Doesn’t Sleep) by Palaraga, with music and lyrics by Sergei Prishvin, captures the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of a city that never sleeps.
In the first verse, the lyrics depict a lively cityscape with time in constant motion. The night unfolds with neon lights in shop windows, and the city seems frozen yet alive with streams of cars on web-like streets and empty bridges.
The chorus emphasizes the city’s perpetual activity, stating that the city no longer sleeps and the day has become synonymous with the night. The taste of silence is portrayed as loneliness.
In the second verse, the lyrics describe the urban soundscape, including the noise of taxis and the distant whistle of a midnight train. The night descends on gray walls, and clubs and style offer a chance to simplify the solitary search. There’s a sense of urgency and a fiery desire within.
Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of a city that thrives in the nighttime, with a blend of neon lights, bustling streets, and a hint of loneliness in the quiet moments.
Palaraga – Мой город не спит
музыка и слова: Сергей Пришвин
Куплет 1:
Время не спит.
Небо кипит, испаряя солнце.
Раскинулась ночь в неонах витрин.
Город застыл.
Пустые мосты. В паутинах улиц
развозят огни потоки машин
Припев:
Мой город больше не спит.
Мой день теперь только ночь.
Мой город больше не спит.
Вкус тишины – одиночество.
Куплет2:
Шум и такси.
Где-то свистит полуночный поезд.
По стенам седым, спускается ночь.
Клубы и стиль –
шанс упростить одинокий поиск.
Торопит внутри, желанья огонь
