Ona siyaet so vsekh oblozhek zhurnalov
She shines from every magazine cover
Ona predel ideala ai
She's the height of perfection, ah
Na vsekh afishakh i telekanalakh
On every billboard and TV channel
No yei vsegda budet malo znai
But know this, it'll never be enough for her
Za soboyu manit
She lures you after her
Prityazhenie magnit
Pulling you in like a magnet
Nevozmozhno zatmit’
Nobody can outshine her
Ona zvezda
She's a star
Ledyanaya na vid
She looks icy
No ona udivit
But she'll surprise
Togo kto pokorit
Whoever wins her over
Raz i navsegda
Once and for all
Kak ona v mire net takoi
There's no one in the world like her
S pervogo vzglyada v neyo vlyubit’sya tak prosto
It's so easy to fall for her at first sight
Kazhdii mozhet tut stat’ zvezdoi
Anyone can become a star here
Gorod bol’shoi mechti
The city of big dreams
Kak ona v mire net takoi
There's no one in the world like her
S pervogo vzglyada v neyo vlyubit’sya tak prosto
It's so easy to fall for her at first sight
Kazhdii mozhet tut stat’ zvezdoi
Anyone can become a star here
Prosto dover’sya yei
Just trust her
Gaz v pol ttk
Floor it on the Third Ring Road
Moskou siti v oblakakh
Moscow City up in the clouds
Vse, kak ti mechtal kogda-to
Everything you once dreamed of
Arbat v pol gaz
Arbat, pedal to the metal
Yesli pobival tut raz
Come here once
To vernesh’sya ti obratno
And you'll be back for sure
Tam na presne
There on Presnya
Yest’ odno mesto
There's this one place
I ti tuda poedesh’ so mnoi
And you're coming there with me
Provozhat’ leto
To see off the summer
Moskovskii rassvet
A Moscow sunrise
Zavtra vse-ravno vikhodnoi
Tomorrow's a day off anyway
Kak ona v mire net takoi
There's no one in the world like her
S pervogo vzglyada v neyo vlyubit’sya tak prosto
It's so easy to fall for her at first sight
Kazhdii mozhet tut stat’ zvezdoi
Anyone can become a star here
Gorod bol’shoi mechti
The city of big dreams
Kak ona v mire net takoi
There's no one in the world like her
S pervogo vzglyada v neyo vlyubit’sya tak prosto
It's so easy to fall for her at first sight
Kazhdii mozhet tut stat’ zvezdoi
Anyone can become a star here
Prosto dover’sya yei
Just trust her

mocscow
nevozmozhno zatmit’

WELCOME TO MOSCOW is a love letter to the city, written as if Moscow were a star. "Она" (she) shines "со всех обложек журналов" (from every magazine cover), she looks "ледяная на вид" (icy) but surprises whoever wins her over, and it's "так просто" (so easy) to fall for her at first sight. The chorus promises that "каждый может тут стать звездой" (anyone can become a star here) in this "город большой мечты" (city of big dreams).
The bridge is a quick tour. "Газ в пол" means pedal to the metal, and ТТК is the Third Ring Road; Москоу сити is the skyscraper district up in the clouds; Арбат is the famous old street, and Пресня is a central neighbourhood where she has "одно место" (one special place). The plan: see off the summer and watch a Moscow sunrise, because "завтра все равно выходной" (tomorrow's a day off anyway). Pure city pride, and a handy list of Moscow names.
