Babochka leti

Butterfly fly

Kril’yami zvenya

Ringing wings

Tol’ko po puti

Only on the way

Beregis’ ognya

Beware of fire

Ti ne sberezhesh’, sberezhesh’ menya

You won't save, save me

I ya ne zhdu, ne zhdu uzhe tebya

And I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting for you anymore

Yarkii bol’shoi makhaon

Bright big swallowtail

Letnee chudo prirodi

Summer miracle of nature

Ti odna na million

You're one in a million

Dama chervei iz kolodi

Queen of hearts from the deck

Eto nash attraktsion

This is our attraction

A dal’she poidut epizodi

And then there will be episodes

K solntsu leti, bol’shoi makhaon

Fly to the sun, big swallowtail

Proch’ ot nenastnoi pogodi

Away from inclement weather

Ya za toboyu sam ulechu

I'll fly after you myself

K teplomu solntsu ya tozhe khochu

I also want to go to the warm sun

Belaya babochka s belimi kril’yami

White butterfly with white wings

Belie nochi, v dveri stuchu

White nights, I knock on doors

Samaya gromkaya pesnya

Loudest song

Bili stikhi, teper’ p’esa

There were poems, now a play

Babochka sela na gornii tsvetok

A butterfly sat on a mountain flower

Eto i yest’ moe serdtse

This is my heart

Babochka leti

Butterfly fly

Kril’yami zvenya

Ringing wings

Tol’ko po puti

Only on the way

Beregis’ ognya

Beware of fire

Ti ne sberezhesh’, sberezhesh’ menya

You won't save, save me

I ya ne zhdu, ne zhdu uzhe tebya

And I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting for you anymore

Pozdno otpusti

Let go too late

Ya bi ostavila pozadi, vse bi ostavila pozadi

I would leave it behind, I would leave it all behind

Ti zanozoyu v grudi, i v moei pamyati, i tikhim golosom v pamyati

You are a thorn in my chest, and in my memory, and a quiet voice in my memory

Ne moya vina, ya bi skrepila pechatyami vse, dlya chego lyubov’ dana nam

It's not my fault, I would seal everything for which love was given to us

Dlya chego lyubov’ dana nam, dana

Why is love given to us, given

I mi odin na odin

And we're one on one

Eto fait i instinkt

This is fight and instinct

Ya s toboi budto bi v mire cherno-belikh kartin

I'm with you as if in a world of black and white paintings

Vopros, chego mi khotim

The question is what do we want?

Vse slomat’ ili spasti

Break everything or save everything

Yesli ne gotov borot’sya, to voz’mi i otpusti

If you're not ready to fight, then take it and let it go

Menya

Kak babochka lechu

I fly like a butterfly

Mne ne do tvoikh chuvstv

I don't care about your feelings

Svobodi lish’ khochu

I just want freedom

Svobodi

Freedom

Babochka leti

Butterfly fly

Kril’yami zvenya

Ringing wings

Tol’ko po puti

Only on the way

Beregis’ ognya

Beware of fire

Ti ne sberezhesh’

You won't save

Sberezhesh’ menya

Save me

I ya ne zhdu

And I'm not waiting

Ne zhdu uzhe tebya

I'm not waiting for you anymore

махаон — swallowtail butterfly

Махаон refers to a swallowtail butterfly, a large and beautiful type of butterfly. It's a more specific and poetic term than the general word for butterfly, бабочка.

In the song, the artist uses махаон to evoke a sense of wonder and beauty, comparing the butterfly to a "summer miracle of nature" and a "queen of hearts." This word adds a touch of elegance and vivid imagery to the lyrics, making it stand out.

Mona's "Бабочка (Babochka)" featuring Гио ПиКа is a really cool track that uses the image of a butterfly to talk about a relationship that's on the edge. The lyrics are a mix of beautiful imagery and some pretty blunt feelings. It starts with a warning to the butterfly, "Бабочка лети, Крыльями звеня, Только по пути, Берегись огня" [Butterfly fly, ringing your wings, but on your way, beware of fire], which feels like a warning to the person in the relationship too. Then there's this sad acceptance: "Ты не сбережешь, сбережешь меня, И я не жду, не жду уже тебя" [You won't save me, and I'm not waiting, not waiting for you anymore]. It's like they know it's over, even if they're still in it.

There's a lot of back and forth in the song, with lines like "Яркий большой махаон, Летнее чудо природы, Ты одна на миллион" [Bright big swallowtail, summer miracle of nature, you are one in a million] showing this admiration, but then it quickly shifts to the struggle. The line "Это наш аттракцион, А дальше пойдут эпизоды" [This is our attraction, and then episodes will follow] is a bit sarcastic, like they're just going through the motions. Later, it gets really direct: "Если не готов бороться, то возьми и отпусти, Меня" [If you're not ready to fight, then take and let me go]. The singer wants freedom, saying "Как бабочка лечу, Мне не до твоих чувств, Свободы лишь хочу, Свободы" [I fly like a butterfly, I don't care about your feelings, I just want freedom, freedom]. It's a powerful song about a love that's both beautiful and suffocating, and the ultimate desire to break free.
