Эгоист [Egoist] [English translation]

Stop trying to teach me how to live.

Music's my whole life.

You're just like all the rest, but no matter what

on other shores, you may be great but not here.

I'm selfish.

You loved me for who I am.

People around

talk shit about us.

So let's ditch those fools.

But for all we care, they can go to hell.

It's just the two of us again

crashing a party, singing as one,

The two of us together.

You can hum along to the words I sing.

But, you can hardly understand what's inside of me

and that's no lie.

Where were you went my life was in the dump?

But suddenly I met you

and then my whole life took a turn for the better.

Stop it!

Take off your mask and be yourself.

Stop it!

Where's my harbor?

I'm selfish.

But sing with me again once more.

Together an encore.

Yeah, sometimes I get things wrong.

It's just a game, but come back soon. (x2)

Don't try to fix me

'cause your head's a mess.

Don't try to teach me,

'cause I'm anything but an idiot. (x2)

Baby, a lot of things have left me.

But, I never stopped believing in this love.

Music's my whole stinking life

Do what you want, bitch, but don't try to take that from me.

I wasn't like all the rest -

all the others who wanted to share your bed.

Swim with me to the Ark.

We'll float far away. 1

Stop it!

Take off your mask and be yourself.

Stop it!

Where's my harbor?

I'm selfish.

But sing with me again once more.

Together an encore.

Yeah, sometimes I get things wrong.

It's just a game, but come back soon. (x2)

1. "us no" is just fluff, and has no significant meaning in English, like the Russian ведь.
