KINO - Calm Night / КИНО - Спокойная Ночь [ENG/HUN lyrics] 

У меня пластинки группы "Кино" конца восьмидесятых в коллекции записанные на главной студии СССР. О каком подполье речь?

Yea, I love these kinds of songs that кино made and звезда is one of my favourites as well.

@@T-10Mwait mind translating the second one please? Cuz I really don’t speak Russian 😅

@@blackman7166 It means Star (Zvezda) it is in the Black Album.

Вы ещё его песню Кукушка не слышали.там просто величественная грусть...

Спасибо, мой друг!

Best version IMHO

Но почему в названии песня переведена Calm night, а в тексте эта же фраза - Good night?

You are welcome!

There was this one time when a different channel used my video for their reaction content, and this is how I summed up the songs meaning: Originally this song first appeared on their 4th album titled Ночь or Night which released in 1986, then in their most known 1988 album Gruppa Krovi, or Blood Type and the version you listened to is the 3rd and last version that was in their only compilation album that got released abroad in France in 1989. The song, like any other song and literary work has a denotative and a connotative meaning. When taken literally, the song is describing an eerily peacful and quiet night, where some people gather to head out somewhere, while others are disturbed in their sleeps. Very aesthetic, but it's missing half of it's value, the meaning behind the lyrics. When viewing it in the connotative meaning, it can have different interpretations, but most people agree on two. The first one is connected to the then present Soviet Union and it's perestroika period. The calm night is supposed to be everyday life itself, existing as a constant thing. The people who are entioned gathering in the song are the people who want more change in the system. They first gather, those who share similiar ideas, ideals and thinking, and then take off, meaning taking action to change things. The line "Those who were silent aren't silent anymore" stresses this perfectly. The people who are sleeping on the other hand are those who are afraid to speak up. They aren't happy either with how things are run, but have a perfectly adequate life and don't want to risk changes, because that could disturb their "sleep" or their present life. The other interpretation dwells into Tsoi's personal life, and the song resonates with the listener on a personal level. Here we don't talk about systems or ideologies, but how people are generally afraid to make changes in their lives, let it be a personal problem, relationships, grief, or a life changing event. In this sense the song describes how people need to force themselves out of their comfort zones and has to sacrifice some to make a change, unlike people who decide to "sleep" instead, meaning that those people are not strong enough, too lazy, or just cannot make a change. Generally people tend to avoid songs like these just for their melancholy sound, but I tend to look at Kino's and Viktor Tsoi's songs like an oyster. You have to break the hard shell in order to see the pearl inside. I'm currently studying anglo-saxon history, culture and language in general in universtiy, and translating and analyzing foreign songs is a huge passion of mine.

@@egrikomrade thank you so much!

Thank you! I unfortunately don't have the original picture anymore, but I searched for something like "russian city sunset". I'm sure you'll find some with, or close to 4K resolution

Yes

Маленький, до 40 дожил, а все такой наивный) кто тебе его слушать не давал? Папа с мамой?

What do you mean KGB, he fell asleep behind the wheel and collided head on with a bus.

...Or so we heard.

Yes

Anywhere that says the KGB did it? Not disagreeing, just curious

@@Sezoik Not that i know, but many people believe it, the KGB has all it needs to do it and no reason to not do so. He even made a song about that topic. Just look for "watch yourself" by "Kino". The lyrics speak for themselves and there is no way that he wasn't a target, despite making openly government-critical music. Doesn't need to mean anything, but considering the subtle methodology of institutions like the KGB or the CIA, the plausible deniability is basically just the cherry on top. It's too perfect to not involve foul play.
