Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nba by rsac from Russian to English.
Ne meshai, ne meshai
Don't bother, don't bother
Ostat’sya odnoi moya pechal’
My sorrow's to stay alone
Uletai, uletai
Fly away, fly away
V svoi dalyokii kosmos
To your distant cosmos
I menya zabivai
And forget me
Eti kril’ya ne moi, ya ne mogu ikh raspravit’
These wings aren't mine, I can't spread them
Kril’ya ne moi, ya nikogda ne vzlechu
The wings aren't mine, I'll never take off
Kril’ya ne moi, ya ne mogu ikh raspravit’
The wings aren't mine, I can't spread them
Kril’ya ne moi
The wings aren't mine
Ne meshai, ne meshai
Don't bother, don't bother
Ryadom bit’ nevozmozhno, prosti, proshchai
Can't be near, sorry, bye
Utekai, utekai
Drift away, drift away
V neznakomoe more
Into an unknown sea
K chuzhim beregam
To foreign shores
Ya risoval tebya, ti risovala menya
I painted you, you painted me
Ya risovalsya, i ti risovalas’ togda
I was showing off, and you were showing off then
Moya stavka ne zashla na IVA
My bet didn't land on IVA
Eti kril’ya ne moi, ya ne mogu ikh raspravit’
These wings aren't mine, I can't spread them
Kril’ya ne moi, ya nikogda ne vzlechu
The wings aren't mine, I'll never take off
Kril’ya ne moi, ya ne mogu ikh raspravit’
The wings aren't mine, I can't spread them
Kril’ya ne moi
The wings aren't mine

SONG MEANING
What happens when heartbreak feels like gravity and freedom feels out of reach?“Nba” paints that bittersweet picture. The singer asks sorrow to stay out of the way while pushing a past love to “fly off” into a distant cosmos. He is stuck on the ground, watching someone else soar, because “these wings aren’t mine.” The track captures that mix of wanting space, craving escape, and realizing you are not equipped to take off—at least not yet.
The repeated image of borrowed wings highlights a painful truth: sometimes love gives us the illusion of flight, but when it ends we see how earth-bound we really are. By telling the other person to drift toward “strange shores,” our narrator admits it hurts too much to stay side by side. “Nba” is ultimately a melodic goodbye—both a gentle nudge toward new horizons and an honest confession that the singer must first learn to craft wings of his own.
