Basta – Graduation (A little slow song)
Chorus:
A little slow song, so that you cry,
So what if they all sound the same,
So what if they are banal and talentless,
As well as I could on the guitar I played and sang.
Graduation, you’re in a beautiful dress,
And you’re almost 17 years old,
I just wanted for you to like me,
As well as I could on the guitar I played and sang.
First couplet:
Our whole school went crazy over this new girl,
Into my class she walked in and instantly I understood,
And Cupid got me in the heart not with an arrow, but a bullet.
Our professor said: “Children, meet Yulia”
And so, like bluetooth from the body of Yulia, the enamored love. [<- ya IDK]
I’m scared to approach Yulia, what if she doesn’t love me.
What if Yulia loves someone else, loves me not.
After all, in my dreams me and Yulia have one last name,
And so passes half a year, days spent burning [internally], at nights insomniac.
The heart tears, but the ice does not budge.
But somehow one morning I decided to take the first step,
Bought flowers and at her building entrance, if only you would come.
And you came, like in a classic drama
But not alone you came, but in the arms of a classmate
And fallen against the ground has the sky
And that’s when I wrote, Yulia;
Chorus x2:
A little slow song, so that you cry,
So what if they all sound the same,
So what if they are banal and talentless,
As well as I could on the guitar I played and sang.
Graduation, you’re in a beautiful dress,
And you’re almost 17 years old,
I just wanted for you to like me,
As well as I could on the guitar I played and sang.
Secound couplet:
To hell has fallen the learning process,
Dad and mom are stressing,
Entirely sick-like, lost in weight like 10 kilograms [22 lbs].
Doesn’t drink, doesn’t eat, instead of lecture notes he writes songs,
Songs about his princess,
You’re with another, while I have died, Yulia.
And him and I are blood enemies.
Yulia, because you are not with me but with him.
Yulia, Yulia, let them be judged by a bullet!
Let me rewind the tape 20 years back,
Guitar, bass, drums, old acting hall.
Failed exams, not one course did I pass,
100 repetition and in front of you I sing, like a rockstar.
Into this song I didn’t manage fit all of my feelings,
But for the rest of my life I have these quatrains memorized.
You never did find out, that I dedicated these rhymes to you.
My very first track is from them – a hit for all graduations!
Chorus x2:
A little slow song, so that you cry,
So what if they all sound the same,
So what if they are banal and talentless,
As well as I could on the guitar I played and sang.
Graduation, you’re in a beautiful dress,
And you’re almost 17 years old,
I just wanted for you to like me,
As well as I could on the guitar I played and sang.
