Govoryu sama s soboi
I'm talking to myself
Chto eto, yesli ne sumasshestvie
What is this if not madness?
Na chasakh uzhe 7:00
It's already 7:00
I ya ne paryus’ o posledstviyakh
And I don't care about the consequences
Kazhetsya vot on moment prinyatiya
It seems this is the moment of acceptance
Ili prosto poriv otchayaniya
Or just a fit of desperation
Mi davno dazhe ne priyateli
We haven't even been friends for a long time
No ti zovesh’ menya na svidanie
But you're asking me out
Ya, kak dura, sredi nochi v neznakomii otel’
I'm like a fool in an unfamiliar hotel in the middle of the night
Dayu ocherednie shansi chuvstvam naparu s bol’yu
I give the feelings another chance along with the pain
Ne khochu vina, zhe znayu kakoi budet effekt
I don’t want wine, but I know what the effect will be
Pochemu tak ne rabotaet s lyubov’yu?
Why doesn't love work like that?
I dazhe navigator mne govorit
And even the navigator tells me
Yekhat’ k nemu ne nado, ostanovis’
No need to go to him, stop
Ti znaesh’ kazhdii atom etoi lyubvi
You know every atom of this love
No prigaesh’ v taksi, kak tol’ko on zvonit
But you jump into a taxi as soon as he calls
No dazhe navigator mne govorit
But even the navigator tells me
Ti pozhaleesh’ zavtra, ostanovis’
You'll regret it tomorrow, stop
Ti znaesh’, chem zakonchitsya etot ekstrim
You know how this extreme will end
No prigaesh’ v taksi, kak tol’ko on zvonit
But you jump into a taxi as soon as he calls
Ne sovershai oshibku i ne vikhodi iz komnati
Don't make the mistake of leaving the room
Devochka, ti privikla i net zaprosa poiskovogo
Girl, you're used to it and there's no search query
Kotorii rasskazhet, kak bit’
Who will tell you what to do
Kak vse vikinut’ i otpustit’
How to throw it all away and let go
Gde zhe eto lekarstvo ot grusti
Where is the cure for sadness?
Khvatit sebya uzhe krutit’
Stop beating yourself up already
No vnov’, kak dura, sredi nochi v neznakomom kafe
But again, like a fool, in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar cafe
Dayu ocherednie shansi chuvstvam naparu s bol’yu
I give the feelings another chance along with the pain
Ne khochu vina, zhe znayu kakoi budet effekt
I don’t want wine, but I know what the effect will be
Pochemu tak ne rabotaet s lyubov’yu?
Why doesn't love work like that?
I dazhe navigator mne govorit
And even the navigator tells me
Yekhat’ k nemu ne nado, ostanovis’
No need to go to him, stop
Ti znaesh’ kazhdii atom etoi lyubvi
You know every atom of this love
No prigaesh’ v taksi, kak tol’ko on zvonit
But you jump into a taxi as soon as he calls
No dazhe navigator mne govorit
But even the navigator tells me
Ti pozhaleesh’ zavtra, ostanovis’
You'll regret it tomorrow, stop
Ti znaesh’, chem zakonchitsya etot ekstrim
You know how this extreme will end
No prigaesh’ v taksi, kak tol’ko on zvonit
But you jump into a taxi as soon as he calls

сумасшествие — madness
Сумасшествие translates to "madness" or "insanity". It's a strong and evocative word that immediately grabs attention.
In the song, the narrator questions her own actions, asking, "Что это, если не сумасшествие?" (What is this, if not madness?). She's aware that her choices, like going to a stranger's hotel or cafe in the middle of the night, are irrational, yet she continues to make them, highlighting a compelling internal conflict.
Mia Boyka's "Навигатор (Navigator)" perfectly captures that feeling when you know something is a bad idea, but you do it anyway! Our singer is having a full-on internal debate, even saying, "Говорю сама с собой / Что это, если не сумасшествие" [I'm talking to myself / What is this, if not madness?]. It's 7 AM, and she's throwing caution to the wind, giving in to a moment of desperation, or maybe just acceptance.
She finds herself heading to a "незнакомый отель" [unfamiliar hotel] or a "незнакомом кафе" [unfamiliar cafe] in the middle of the night, giving "очередные шансы чувствам напару с болью" [another chance to feelings mixed with pain]. Even her GPS is trying to warn her, saying "Ехать к нему не надо, остановись" [Don't go to him, stop] and "Ты пожалеешь завтра, остановись" [You'll regret it tomorrow, stop]. But despite knowing "каждый атом этой любви" [every atom of this love] and how this
