Verse 1

Now I ask you please be quiet

Look into my eyes and don't say anything

Or: Look me in the eyes and say nothing. Double negatives don't make sense in English, but in Russian they do

I decided everything, our speech isn't about love

And I let you go please live

And I let you go, please live (your own life)

Prechorus 1

Simply run away

Or: Just run away

And don't remember

Simply run away

And don't remember

Chorus 1

Every time I remember my childhood

I remember our place

Sixteen, tired of kissing

Or: Both sixteen, we got tired of kissing

You took my T-shirt, in this there's no meaning

Or: You took my T-shirt, this doesn't matter / there is no meaning in this

I'm a fool, I made a mistake

Or: It's me who is stupid, I was wrong

Why was I falling in love so hard?

Or: Why did I fall in love so much?

Childhood I remember our place

Sixteen, tired of kissing

Or: We were 16 and tired of kissing

You took my T-shirt, in this there's no meaning

Or: You took my T-shirt, this doesn't matter / there is no meaning in this

I'm a fool, I made a mistake

Why was I falling in love so hard?

Chorus 2

Every time I remember my childhood

I remember our place

Sixteen, tired of kissing

You took my T-shirt, in this there's no meaning

Or: You took my T-shirt, this doesn't matter / there is no meaning in this

I'm a fool, I made a mistake

Why was I falling in love so hard?

Childhood I remember our place

Sixteen, tired of kissing

You took my T-shirt, in this there's no meaning

Or: You took my T-shirt, this doesn't matter / there is no meaning in this

I'm a fool, I made a mistake

Why was I falling in love so hard?

SONG MEANING

Rauf & Faik’s electro-pop earworm “Детство” (“Childhood”) is a bittersweet postcard from the past. Over a dreamy beat, the singer revisits the summer when he and his first love were “sixteen, tired of kissing,” stealing moments and even a T-shirt as a souvenir. Those memories feel warm and glowing, yet the present feels colder, so he begs her, “Just run away and don’t look back.” The repeated English lines “Never lie away” and “I wanna hide” show his tug-of-war between honesty and the urge to disappear.

Under the glossy pop surface lies a universal story: growing up means accepting that some things can’t return. The song swings between nostalgia and release, reminding us that first love can be both a treasured photograph and a weight we finally set free. Dance to it, sing along, and practice your Russian while you feel every pang and sparkle of remembered youth.
