Intro 1
A ya vsyo dumayu o nei, o nei, o nei
I still think about her, about her, about her
Net nikogo mne rodnei, rodnei, rodnei
There's nobody to me closer, closer, closer
Ona yarche ognei, ognei, ognei
She's brighter than lights, lights, lights
Or: She shines brighter than the lights, the lights, the lights
Tekh, chto svetyat po nocham, po nocham
Those that shine at night, at night
Sredi starikh allei, allei, allei
Among the old alleys, alleys, alleys
Gulyayu, dumayu o nei, o nei, o nei
I walk and think about her, about her, about her
I kogda ti pridyosh’ ko mne, ko mne
And when you come to me, to me
Ya tebya ne otdam, nikomu ne dam
I won't give you, I won't give you to anyone

аллейalleys

Аллея (alleya) means 'alley' or 'avenue', and аллей is its genitive plural form, meaning 'of alleys' or 'alleys' (when used with prepositions like 'among'). It's a word that evokes a specific, often romantic or melancholic, setting.

In this song, JONY sings about walking "Среди старых аллей" (Among old alleys), thinking of his beloved. The word paints a vivid picture of a quiet, perhaps nostalgic, place where memories and feelings linger, making it a central image and the title of the song itself.

This song is a straight-up anthem for anyone who's ever been completely lost in thoughts about someone. JONY isn't being subtle here; he repeats "А я всё думаю о ней, о ней, о ней" (And I keep thinking about her, about her, about her) so you know this is an obsession. He's walking alone at night through old park avenues, or "аллей" (alleys), and everything reminds him of her. She's "ярче огней" (brighter than the lights) of the city at night, which is a pretty big compliment!

What makes it feel so real is how this fixation takes over his whole life. His friends invite him out, but he feels like he has nothing to lose by going because his mind is elsewhere. He says, "что б я не делал, она первая в списке / В списке моих мыслей" (whatever I do, she is first on the list / On the list of my thoughts). He even channels it into his music, writing about her while "вдыхая никотин" (inhaling nicotine). It's a simple, powerful song about being totally consumed by love for someone who isn't there.
