A yest’ pod Orenburgom fontanchik s chernim del’finom

There's a little fountain with a black dolphin near Orenburg

I v zhizni videt’ lish’ raz yego dovodilos’

And you'd only ever see it once in your life

Vsem tem, kto prokhodili yego mimo

Anyone who ever walked past it

Fontanchik s chernim del’finom

That fountain with the black dolphin

Predstav’te brati, chto yest’ steni u del’finov

Imagine, bros, that dolphins have walls

Koridori dlinnie, okna reshetka, lepnina

Long corridors, barred windows, stucco

I lyudi spinami k verkhu nu, kak del’fini

And people with backs up, like dolphins

V vechnom plavanii za deyaniya zlie

In endless swimming for wicked deeds

Tam ne prinyato schitat’ dni, schitat’ godi

There nobody counts days, counts years

I net zvonka vtorogo, vestnika svobodi

And there's no second bell, no herald of freedom

Tam polomayutsya samie derzkie greshniki

There the boldest sinners break

Merzkie, u kotorikh slezi vse presnie

The nasty ones whose tears are all fresh

Tam dni vse budni, tam v krovi vse ruki

There every day's a weekday, every hand's drenched in blood

I ne uiti ottuda, kak na podvodnom sudne

And you won't get out of there, like off a submarine

Utashchit tebya v glub’ Sol’-Iletskikh glubin

It'll drag you down into the Sol-Iletsk depths

Yedinstvennii v mire zloi Chernii Del’fin

The world's only evil Black Dolphin

Fontanchik s del’finom, vsya zhizn’ tebya mimo

The fountain with the dolphin, your whole life goes past

Zdes’ kleimom mechenie prigovorennie pozhiznenno

Here the branded ones are sentenced for life

I yesli v nakazanii sila

And if there's power in punishment

Ved’ ne budet za stenami temi pokoya s mirom

There's no peace with the world beyond those walls

Poka zhurchit voda v fontane s del’finom

While water keeps murmuring in the dolphin fountain

Дельфин — Dolphin

Дельфин (del'fin) simply means "dolphin", an animal usually linked to playfulness and freedom. Here it hides a much darker meaning: it's a nickname for "Chyornyi Delfin" (Black Dolphin), one of Russia's most feared maximum security prisons for life sentences.

Lines like "фонтанчик с черным дельфином" ("a little fountain with a black dolphin") turn an innocent looking image into a chilling reference, letting the song talk about a brutal prison through the gentle picture of a fountain.

Get ready to dive into the intense world of Gio PiKa's "Чёрный Дельфин 2017" (Chyornii Del'fin 2017)! This song isn't about a cute dolphin show; it's a chilling look at a real-life, notorious Russian prison known as Black Dolphin, located near Orenburg. The lyrics immediately set a stark scene, mentioning a "фонтанчик с черным дельфином" [fountain with a black dolphin] that only those who pass by it once in their lives ever see.

Gio PiKa uses the imagery of dolphins in a very dark way, describing "стены у дельфинов, коридоры длинные, окна решетка" [walls for dolphins, long corridors, barred windows] and people who are "спинами к верху ну, как дельфины" [on their backs, like dolphins] in "вечном плавании за деяния злые" [eternal swimming for evil deeds]. It's a powerful metaphor for the inmates, forever trapped. The song emphasizes the hopelessness inside, where "не принято считать дни, считать годы" [it's not customary to count days, count years] and there's "нет звонка второго, вестника свободы" [no second bell, herald of freedom]. It's a grim journey into a place where even the "самые дерзкие грешники" [most daring sinners] will break, pulled into the depths by the "Единственный в мире злой Черный Дельфин" [only evil Black Dolphin in the world]. This track really makes you think about the weight of punishment and the finality of a life behind those walls.
