Катя (Katya) Lyrics in English by Арни Пашаян (Arni Pashayan), Марат Пашян (Marat Pashyan)
Негодяй translates to "scoundrel" or "villain". It's a strong, somewhat old-fashioned insult that isn't commonly heard in everyday conversation or modern pop songs, making it quite memorable.
In the song, the father uses this word to scold his son for defending Katya, whom the father disapproves of. It highlights the generational conflict and the father's strong disapproval of his son's choice of girlfriend, adding a dramatic flair to their argument.
Катя (Katya) is a cheeky, high-energy tale about a self-proclaimed prince who is certain his party-loving girlfriend will one day regret letting him go. Over a punchy beat, Arni Pashayan repeats a playful warning: if Katya breaks up with him, she will be “biting her elbows” with jealousy at exactly 3:15. The hook drips with swagger, humor, and a touch of mock arrogance, painting the singer as both confident and slightly dramatic while spotlighting Katya’s carefree love of dancing, drinking, and late-night fun.
The verses add an extra twist: a lively back-and-forth between the lovestruck son and his strict Armenian father, voiced by featured artist Marat Pashyan. Dad can’t stand Katya’s wild lifestyle and orders his son to stay away, but the young Romeo keeps insisting, “Dad, I love her!” The clash of generations turns the song into a comedic mini-drama about freedom versus tradition, amplifying its playful vibe and making the chorus hit even harder.
