Kak ran’she uzhe ne budet, no ya budu ikh vspominat’
It won’t be like before, but I will remember them
Te starie vremena, univera na sokolyakh
Those old days, university on falcons
Vo Vremena BRMa, s nas nechego bilo vzyat’
During the BRM, there was nothing to take from us
Ya lezu pod turniketom, snova zabil studak
I'm climbing under the turnstile, I forgot the stud again
Priglushyonnii svet v vagone
Dim light in the carriage
Imenno takim ya i pomnyu
That's exactly how I remember it
Nabirayu tekst v telefone
I'm typing on my phone
I za polchasa tam istoriya
And in half an hour there is history
Vsyo opyat’ pro lyubov’, khotya yeyo ya ne znal
Everything is about love again, although I didn’t know it
Opyat’ teksta pro vsyo, chto okolo i vozle menya
Again text about everything that is near and near me
Tak i ne ladyat do sikh por chelovek i zakon
Man and the law still don’t get along
Ostavlyu svoyo imya na stekle, pokidaya vagon
I'll leave my name on the glass as I leave the car
Klassika tekh vremyon
Classics of those times
Tak legko
So easy
Pomnyu vstrechi vo dvorakh
I remember meetings in the courtyards
I rebyat s pivkom
And guys with beer
Zapakh noven’koi montani s shashlikom
The smell of new Montana with barbecue
I na fone vsego etogo etot bitok
And against the backdrop of all this, this cue ball
Moi kruzhok po interesam
My hobby group
Nas sobiralis’ sotni na Taganke i na Presne
Hundreds of us gathered at Taganka and Presnya
Da, ya s Yugo-zapadnoi, no dushu greet tsentr
Yes, I’m from Yugo-Zapadnaya, but the center warms my soul
Moi lyubimii gorod M, v svoyom starom siluete
My favorite city M, in its old silhouette
Tebe mozhet pokazat’sya, chto zavis v proshlom
You may feel stuck in the past
Ya pitayus’ nostal’giei, kogda mne plokho
I feed on nostalgia when I'm feeling down
Vspominayu detstvo, kogda bilo tak pokhui
I remember my childhood when it was so fucked
Zapakh letnego dozhdya vpitala moya kofta
The smell of summer rain was absorbed by my jacket
Zhit’ tol’ko radi etogo
Live just for this
Radi momentov
For the sake of moments
Mozhet moya doch’ uslishit po radio retro
Maybe my daughter will hear retro on the radio
Golos papi, da, ona uznaet naverno
Dad's voice, yes, she'll probably recognize it
Kak zvuchala moya muzika, v nashe vremya
What my music sounded like in our time

ностальгией — nostalgia
Ностальгией translates to "nostalgia". It's a beautiful and evocative word that perfectly captures the mood of the song.
FEDUK sings, "Я питаюсь ностальгией, когда мне плохо" (I feed on nostalgia when I feel bad). This line reveals a deep emotional connection to the past, suggesting that memories provide comfort and sustenance during difficult times. It's a relatable sentiment that makes the song particularly poignant.
FEDUK's "Свет В Вагоне" [Light In The Train Car] is a beautiful trip down memory lane, full of nostalgia for simpler times. He talks about how things won't be like they used to be, but he'll always remember those old days, like university life and sneaking under turnstiles because he forgot his student ID. He's writing on his phone in the "Приглушённый свет в вагоне" [Dim light in the train car], and a whole story unfolds in half an hour, often about love he didn't even know at the time.
He remembers hanging out with friends, drinking beer, the smell of new Montana spray paint and shashlik, and how his music fit into all of it. He mentions meeting up with hundreds of people in different parts of Moscow, his "любимый город М, в своём старом силуэте" [favorite city M, in its old silhouette]. Even though he's from the southwest, the city center warms his soul. He knows it might seem like he's stuck in the past, but nostalgia fuels him when he's feeling down, bringing back memories of childhood when he didn't have a care in the world. He even hopes his future daughter might hear his music on the radio as a retro song, recognizing her dad's voice and how his music sounded back in the day.
