Ukrainian song with translation: Друга ріка – Відчиняй

Друга ріка is a Ukrainian rock band which became popular in the 2000s.Their music is not very hard, so they are well-known among people with different tastes. Sometimes their style is determined as Britpop, but the band definitely has its own style. The frontman of Друга ріка is Валерій Харчишин.

Відчиняй tells about the person who came back home, but not the same way as it in the song by Океан Ельзи. It is not tender because the singer is tired and exhausted. However, there is some passion there too.

Open the doors, I am standing on the threshold

I’m already here, I’m already home, hello.

Don’t ask where I was day before last,

Yesterday in the morning, today, last year.

Don’t wake me up, I wasn’t sleeping for life.

Don’t keep silence, I hear everything this way

Don’t wake me up, I wasn’t sleeping for life.

I’m not able to do this way for a long time.

Chorus:

Open the doors, I’m home

Open the doors, I’m home

And don’t play with such words

Don’t kill because I’ve come killed.

Undress me and kiss my scars.

Till it exists everything is only yours.

Don’t wake me up, I wasn’t sleeping for life.

Don’t keep silence, I hear everything this way

Don’t wake me up, I wasn’t sleeping for life.

I’m not able to do this way for a long time.

Chorus

Close all the doors faster

There is nobody to share you with.

Leave me only for yourself

Even if I’m not here 

Even if I’m not here 

Don’t wake me up, don’t wake up

Don’t wake me up, don’t wake up

And don’t pitch out, don’t pitch me out, don’t pitch out
