Monetochka – The last disco Lyrics (English Translation)
(Chorus)
The last disco
Bloodstains like ribbons on your dress.
How perfect, on this final night,
You wear nothing but red.
The wounds look beautiful on you,
Patterns of blood on scratched skin.
Those crimson strands suit you so well,
Vividly crimson from within.
(Post-Chorus)
The last disco…
The last disco.
(Verse 1)
We danced in the school hall to disco beats,
Drank “Jaguar” like our fathers’ whiskey treats.
The axe of fate whistled in the chem teacher’s hand,
She said, “I hate every one of you,” like she had it all planned.
All your wisdom fits inside a single tattoo,
All your youth just a slogan on a shirt, nothing new.
You promised your mom you’d grow up—just not today.
Mom, I know you’re not happy, but I really need to stay.
(Chorus)
The last disco
Bloodstains like ribbons on your dress.
How perfect, on this final night,
You wear nothing but red.
The wounds look beautiful on you,
Patterns of blood on scratched skin.
Those crimson strands suit you so well,
Vividly crimson from within.
(Verse 2)
Tomorrow the adult world will show its bald head,
Coming with roses made of shattered glass instead.
Tomorrow butterfly knives will flutter in our guts,
And our drunk-and-high jokes will turn to painful ruts.
But for now, losing rhinestones, run from this place,
From covered pimples, from powdered princesses’ grace.
On the final dance the hellish disc will jam—we’ll start a mess,
Shattered floor, disco lights, just look at this shine, no less.
(Chorus)
The last disco
Bloodstains like ribbons on your dress.
How perfect, on this final night,
You wear nothing but red.
The wounds look beautiful on you,
Patterns of blood on scratched skin.
Those crimson strands suit you so well,
Vividly crimson from within.
(Outro)
The last disco…
The last disco.
