Vrode vsyo okei
Everything seems okay
No vsyo ravno, ne to
But still, something's wrong
To vnutri so happy
Sometimes so happy inside
To snova minor
Then down again
To ulibka bez prichini, to drozh’ po kozhe
A smile for no reason, then goosebumps
Zhdyot zelyonii svet na perekrestke, s chyornoi koshkoi
Waiting for the green light at the crossroads, with a black cat
Meik ap, kap, ostalsya na podushke
Makeup, drip, left on the pillow
Odna, da i yei ne do podruzhek
Alone, and she's not up for girlfriends
Ikh ustala slushat’
She's tired of listening to them
Vokrug vsyo tak skuchno
Everything around is so dull
Zhdyot, kogda zakruzhit
Waiting for someone to spin her around
Vsem devchonkam nuzhen
Every girl needs
Tot, s kem ikh ogonyok ne gasnet
The one with whom their flame won't die
Kak za kamennoi stenoi
Safe behind a stone wall
S krasnoi nitkoi na zapyast’e
With a red string on the wrist
Polnii babochek zhivot
A stomach full of butterflies
I serdechko rvyot na chasti
And your little heart is torn to pieces
Ti pisala do nego
Before him, you used to write
Sem’ oshibok v slove 'schast’e'
"Happiness" with seven mistakes
Vsem devchonkam nuzhen
Every girl needs
Tot, s kem ikh ogonyok ne gasnet
The one with whom their flame won't die
Kak za kamennoi stenoi
Safe behind a stone wall
S krasnoi nitkoi na zapyast’e
With a red string on the wrist
Polnii babochek zhivot
A stomach full of butterflies
I serdechko rvet na chasti
And your little heart is torn to pieces
Ti pisala do nego
Before him, you used to write
Sem’ oshibok v slove 'schast’e'
"Happiness" with seven mistakes
Vsem devchonkam nuzhen 'tot'
Every girl needs "the one"
Lyubov’ v vospominaniyakh, budto skrinshot
Love in memories, like a screenshot
Serdtse zamiraet, poyot mimo not
Your heart skips a beat, sings out of tune
Vzglyadom ishchesh’ yego plechi, sredi prokhozhikh
You look for his shoulders among the passersby
On bi otogrel tvoi kholodnie ladoshki
He would warm your cold little hands
Vsegda b tak s odnim i do konechnoi
To be with one person 'til the end of the line
Razbitoe serdechko
A broken little heart
Khot’ i vremya lechit, vsyo zhe chelovechku
Though time heals, still a person
Nuzhen chelovechek
Needs another person
Vsem devchonkam nuzhen
Every girl needs
Tot, s kem ikh ogonyok ne gasnet
The one with whom their flame won't die
Kak za kamennoi stenoi
Safe behind a stone wall
S krasnoi nitkoi na zapyast’e
With a red string on the wrist
Polnii babochek zhivot
A stomach full of butterflies
I serdechko rvyot na chasti
And your little heart is torn to pieces
Ti pisala do nego
Before him, you used to write
Sem’ oshibok v slove 'schast’e'
"Happiness" with seven mistakes
Vsem devchonkam nuzhen
Every girl needs
Tot, s kem ikh ogonyok ne gasnet
The one with whom their flame won't die
Kak za kamennoi stenoi
Safe behind a stone wall
S krasnoi nitkoi na zapyast’e
With a red string on the wrist
Polnii babochek zhivot
A stomach full of butterflies
I serdechko rvet na chasti
And your little heart is torn to pieces
Ti pisala do nego
Before him, you used to write
Sem’ oshibok v slove 'schast’e'
"Happiness" with seven mistakes

ЧАСТУШКА — Chastushka (a type of folk song)
The word "ЧАСТУШКА" (Chastushka) refers to a traditional Russian folk song, typically short, humorous, and often improvised.
It's an interesting choice for a modern pop song title, as it evokes a sense of playful, traditional storytelling while the lyrics themselves deal with contemporary themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. This juxtaposition makes the word unique and memorable in the context of the song.
Karna.val's "ЧАСТУШКА" [CHASTUSHKA] is a really relatable song about the rollercoaster of emotions when you're looking for love. One minute, everything's "Вроде всё окей" [Seems like everything's okay], but then you're suddenly in a "минор" [minor key]. It's all about that longing for 'the one' who will keep your "огонёк не гаснет" [spark from going out].
The song really gets into the feeling of waiting for that special person, someone who feels like a "каменной стеной" [stone wall] of support. You know, that feeling of having "Полный бабочек живот" [a stomach full of butterflies] and your "сердечко рвёт на части" [heart tearing into pieces] when you think about them. It even has this funny line, "Ты писала до него Семь ошибок в слове «счастье»" [Before him, you wrote seven mistakes in the word 'happiness'], which perfectly sums up how love can make everything clearer. It’s a sweet, honest look at the ups and downs of searching for true connection.
