Bez tebya menya net, nichego ne khochu

Eto solnechnii yad, zolotie luchi
This is sun poison, golden rays
A oni govoryat: 'nado srochno lechit’'

Ya schitala stolbi i rasteryannikh ptits
I counted the poles and confused birds
Bez tebya menya net, otpusti otpusti

Do ugla po stene, mama, papa, prosti
To the corner by the wall, mum, dad, forgive me

сошла с ума — gone mad / lost my mind
Сошла с ума (soshla s uma) is a powerful Russian idiom that means "to go mad" or "to lose one's mind". The phrase literally translates to "came down from the mind", which creates a vivid picture of thoughts becoming detached from reality.
In this iconic t.A.T.u. song, it's a defiant and repeated cry. The singer uses it to describe the overwhelming and disorienting feeling of a forbidden love, embracing the "madness" that others condemn. It's the central theme of the song, capturing a feeling of intense, all-consuming passion.
This song is a frantic confession of an obsessive, all-consuming love for another woman. The singer repeats the main idea over and over: "Я сошла с ума" (I've lost my mind) and "Мне нужна она" (I need her). She feels like she's losing her identity, saying "Без тебя я не я, без тебя меня нет" (Without you I'm not me, without you I am not). It's a feeling so intense she describes it as a "медленный яд" (slow poison) that's driving her crazy.
What makes this song so powerful is the conflict with the outside world. While the singer is lost in these feelings, she hears judgmental voices—"они" (they)—who dismiss her love as "бред" (nonsense) and say she needs to be treated urgently. This pressure builds until she's asking for forgiveness from her parents, whispering "Мама, папа, прости" (Mama, papa, forgive me). It's a desperate cry from someone whose love is seen as a sickness by everyone around her.
