Verse 1
Agent zimi podzhyog listvu
Winter agent sets fire to the foliage
Ves’ mir gorit, i ya zhivu
The whole world burns and I live
Bez zapasnikh aerodromov
Without spare airfields
Vdikhayu dim minuvshikh dnei
I inhale the smoke of passed days
Or: I breathe in the smoke of days gone by
Smotryu na blesk nochnikh ognei
I look at the shine of the night lights
Or: I look at the brilliance of the night lights
Oni mne bol’she ne znakomi
They are not familiar to me anymore
Or: I don't know them anymore
Chorus 1
Ya nakonets-to ponyal
I finally understood
Menya ne derzhat korni
The roots don't hold me
I pri lyuboi pogode
And in any weather
Ya vnutrenne svoboden
I'm free inside
Ya vsyo ostavlyu v proshlom
I'll leave everything in the past
Naotmash’ khlopnuv dver’yu
Slamming the door
Ya nikomu ne dolzhen
I don't owe anyone
I nikomu ne veryu
And I don't believe anyone
Verse 2
Moi blizkii vrag rodnei chuzhikh
My close enemy is closer than strangers
Ispodtishka letyat nozhi
Stealthily knives fly
I uvernut’sya nevozmozhno
And to dodge is impossible
No kak slovami peredat’
But how to express in words
Chto pustotu nel’zya predat’
That emptiness cannot be betrayed
A vot lyubov’ sovsem ne slozhno
But love is not at all difficult
Or: Love, on the other hand, is not difficult at all (to betray)
Chorus 2
Ya nakonets-to ponyal
I finally understood
Menya ne derzhat korni
The roots don't hold me
I pri lyuboi pogode
And in any weather
Ya vnutrenne svoboden
I'm free inside
Ya vsyo ostavlyu v proshlom
I'll leave everything in the past
Naotmash’ khlopnuv dver’yu
Slamming the door
Ya nikomu ne dolzhen
I don't owe anyone
I nikomu ne veryu
And I don't believe anyone

Did you like this lyrics translation?
“Я Никому Не Верю” (I Trust No One) thrusts us into a blazing, cinematic landscape where old leaves ignite, night lights turn strange, and friendships hide sharp knives. BI-2’s rock anthem feels like the soundtrack to a daring escape: the singer walks through a world on fire with no “backup airfields,” breathing in the smoke of yesterday while realizing that roots, obligations, and even love can be burned away.
What remains is raw inner freedom. The chorus slams the door on the past, declaring that no weather, no enemy, and no betrayal can chain a spirit that finally understands its own power. It is both a declaration of independence and a cautionary tale about trust, wrapped in soaring guitars and relentless energy that beg you to shout along: “Я никому не должен, и никому не верю!”
