Окружающий Мир – Dance with Me (Танцуй Со Мной)
As little as there is to be found about Окружающий Мир (The World Around), there’s just as little to report. Virtually nothing. And there wasn’t much to choose from either. It was Танцуй со мной (Dance with me) or nothing. Well then.
Lyrics available on Lyricstranslate and in the second video below. Minor corrections have been made in the lyrics at the bottom.
Танцуй со мной (Dance with Me)
Slow cigarette smoke
Spreads everywhere
And I’m walking my girlfriend home
We drank all night
Danced all evening
We just wanted
To feel lighter together.
Cry, girl, dance with me
I like all of this so much
I want to spend
All night with you until dawn.
Slow cigarette smoke
Fades everywhere
I’m walking my girlfriend home
We danced all night,
Hugged, kissed
How sad it is
That we parted so soon.
Most of the music here is also available in an

Anyone who wants to present Russian music cannot ignore Zemfira. Popular and mainstream – millions of records sold – but also distinctly idiosyncratic. The music is usually accessible (we categorize it under Pop), but the attitude is rock.
Raw Anti-Putin punk from
Nizhny Novgorod /
Нижний Новгород. Loosely based on ‘Maggie’ by The Exploited.
From the green city of
Zelenograd /
Зеленоград. Dreamy indie-folk with a melancholic undertone. Created by
Mikhail Rodionov (1992).
The alarm blares (Ревёт тревога), the road awaits (ждёт дорога). They are many (Их немало), we are few (нас немного). We are in an unjust world (Мы в несправедливом мире) tin wolves in the shooting range (Жестяные волки в тире).
The word offret is Swedish and means ‘sacrifice’; the band Offret is Russian and makes heavy music. The link between the word and the band: a
1986 film in Swedish by the Russian Andrei Tarkovsky.
A band from Saint Petersburg that makes a kind of post-punk/indie-pop. Not for long yet, so not much material yet. However, they already have a few very successful tracks with original music videos. До свиданья, дорогая is the
Russian title for the film
The Goodbye Girl (1977), but it has nothing to do with it.
