Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Не Спорь Со Мной (Ne Spor’ So Mnoi) by Юрий Шатунов (Yurii Shatunov) from Russian to English.
Ot gluposti svoei stradaem mi
We suffer from our stupidity
Potom zhaleem, chto ne vernut’ obratno
Then we regret we can't turn it back
Komu zhe mi s toboi yeshche nuzhni
Who else needs us
Na etom svete belom, neponyatno
It's unclear in this bright world
Zachem igraem, muchaya sebya
Why do we play, tormenting ourselves
Izobrazhaya lish’ porivi strasti
Faking only sudden bursts of passion
Mi tol’ko poteryaem vse za zrya
We'll only lose everything for nothing
A khochetsya oboim prosto schast’ya
Yet we both just want simple happiness
Ne spor’ so mnoi, a luchshe potselui
Don't argue with me, better kiss me
Pust’ mimo nas obidi proletayut
Let offenses fly past us
Lyubov’yu nashei bol’she ne riskui
Don't risk our love anymore
Ona ne lyubit kogda s nei igrayut
It doesn't like being played with
Ved’ mi ne prosto vstretilis’ s toboi
We didn't just meet
Sluchainosti, pover’ mne, ne sluchaini
Coincidences, trust me, aren't random
Mi svyazani teper’ odnoi sud’boi
We're now bound by one fate
I otstupit’sya mozhet kazhdii i nechayanno
And anyone can step back, even by accident
Ne spor’ so mnoi, a luchshe potselui
Don't argue with me, better kiss me
Pust’ mimo nas obidi proletayut
Let offenses fly past us
Lyubov’yu nashei bol’she ne riskui
Don't risk our love anymore
Ona ne lyubit kogda s nei igrayut
It doesn't like being played with

SONG MEANING
Yurii Shatunov’s “Не Спорь Со Мной” (“Don’t Argue With Me”) is a gentle wake-up call for two sweethearts who keep tripping over their own pride. The singer admits that people often hurt each other out of sheer foolishness, only to regret it when the hurt can’t be taken back. Instead of staging dramatic “bursts of passion” or keeping score of every slight, he urges his partner to notice what really matters: they have already found each other in a world where nothing is guaranteed.
The chorus turns an argument into a kiss. “Let the grievances fly past us,” he pleads, because love is fragile and “doesn’t like being played with.” Fate has tied their lives together, but happiness still needs protecting. His final message is light but powerful: skip the quarrels, share a kiss, and guard the simple joy that destiny has handed them. 🎶
