Перевернём — We will turn upside down
Перевернём literally translates to 'we will turn over' or 'flip', making it a wonderfully dynamic and evocative action word.
In this upbeat track, Dima Bilan sings, "Мы этот мир перевернём" (We will turn this world upside down). He uses this powerful verb metaphorically to describe a connection so thrilling that it will completely flip reality and make the night unforgettable.
Feel like running away for a while? In “Держи (Derzhi)” Dima Bilan invites a loved one to break free from everyday noise and slip into a private universe made for two. The chorus’ catchy command “Держи, держи руку мою” (“Hold, hold my hand”) pulses like a promise: as long as our fingers stay locked, we can flip the whole world upside-down, turn night into our playground, and keep every secret between us.
Bilan’s lyrics mix daring adventure with tender reassurance. He tells his partner, “Ask for anything—you’ll get it!” emphasizing unconditional support and boundless generosity. The song celebrates that electric moment when love feels powerful enough to rewrite the rules, silence outside voices, and create a shared refuge of excitement, confidence, and endless possibility.
