Прятки (pryatki) Lyrics in English by hammali

Заторчал (zatorchal) is a powerful slang word that means "got hooked," as if on a drug.

In the song, the artist sings, "Я заторчал тобой, всего лишь дозу" (I got hooked on you, just a dose). He uses this intense metaphor to describe an addictive, all-consuming love. It's a raw and modern way to express how he feels trapped by his feelings for someone, making it a truly memorable word for any learner.

This song kicks off with a pretty brutal breakup idea. The singer suggests a game: "Давай мы с тобой сыграем в прятки" (Let's play hide-and-seek). But there's a catch. He immediately follows up with, "И я тебя искать не буду" (And I won't look for you). He insists he'll find someone new, someone better. It sounds like he's trying to convince himself as much as her, repeating that he'll find "совсем другую" (someone completely different).

But then the tough act starts to fall apart. He reveals she's the one who told him to move on, shouting on the phone, "Иди влюбись в другую" (Go fall in love with someone else). His heartbreaking response is, "Ну а как же я влюблюсь, если она не ты?" (But how can I fall in love, if she is not you?). He admits that for him, "Весь этот мир не ты" (This whole world is not you). He's stuck. He calls her out on her promises, saying her "вечная любовь" (eternal love) had an expiration date. Despite his pain and admitting he's dying and misses her, he resolves not to go back, creating a powerful conflict between what he says he'll do and what he actually feels.
