Saint Laurent Lyrics in English by Slava Marlow
Наперёд means "in advance" or "beforehand." It's a less common, slightly more formal way to express this idea compared to everyday alternatives.
In the song, Slava Marlow uses it to convey a sense of knowing what's going to happen before it does: "Я знаю наперёд что она о-опять / О-Опять не наберёт" (I know beforehand that she won't call again). This word adds a touch of dramatic irony and resignation to the lyrics, highlighting the singer's predictable heartbreak.
Slava Marlow's "Saint Laurent" is a really fun, catchy track about trying to win someone over with money and gifts, but realizing it's just not working. He's basically saying, "Pick any car, any place in the world, I'll pay for it! Just tell me I'm sweet." He's ready to buy anything, even things that are usually impossible to get, but he quickly learns that you can't buy love.
The song's main idea is that this person doesn't care about fancy brands like Saint Laurent or Louis Vuitton. He sings, "А ты не любишь Saint Laurent, А ты не любишь Louis Vui" [But you don't like Saint Laurent, But you don't like Louis Vui]. He thinks, if she doesn't like these expensive things, she won't like him either, even though all he wants is her love. He's even got Saint Laurent gathering dust on the shelf and she hasn't even opened the Louis Vuitton box! He's left wondering why she doesn't care about the price tags, feeling powerless against her indifference. It's a pretty relatable feeling when you're trying your best but it's just not enough!
