Пташка (Ptashka) Lyrics in English Моя Мишель (Moya Mishel’) , DOSE

"Пташка (Ptashka)" paints a dream-like picture of a fragile bird setting off into an endless sky while a lonely voice on the ground keeps whispering, “Come back to me.” The bird is anyone who dares to leave the safety of home: a lover, a friend, even our own younger self. City images—red trams, seagulls that cry “meow,” a broken elevator—create a slightly surreal Moscow-by-the-sea backdrop that feels both playful and claustrophobic. Against this grey scenery, the repeated line “Fly, little bird, before it gets scary” sounds like a pep talk: yes, the world is intimidating, but the thirst for the sky is stronger than fear.

At the same time, the song hides a bittersweet love story. The singer admits, almost casually, “I’m glad you’re with someone else now,” yet her refrain keeps calling the bird home. This push-and-pull captures how we often let people go because we love them, while secretly hoping they will return. Wrapped in shimmering synth-pop, “Пташка” becomes both a gentle goodbye and a fearless take-off anthem—reminding us that courage and longing can live in the same heart.
