The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Money" (Dengi) the performer of the song "The King and the Jester"

There was no money and there is no money. There was no money...

There was no money and there is no money.

I hate crystal houses -

People who live in them are full of shit.

Chorus:

And there was no money and there is no money,

And there was no money and there is no money.

While the bourgeois chooses carpets,

I absorb alcohol vapors.

Chorus:

And there was no money and there is no money,

And there was no money and there is no money.

Where there are deputies, there is excess, luxury:

House cats eat salami.

Chorus:

And there was no money and there is no money,

And there was no money and there is no money.

Денег не было и нет. Денег не было...

Денег не было и нет.

Я ненавижу хрустальные дома, -

Живущие в них люди полны дерьма.

Припев:

А денег не было и нет,

А денег не было и нет.

Пока буржуй выбирает ковры,

Я поглощаю алкоголя пары.

Припев:

А денег не было и нет,

А денег не было и нет.

Там где депутаты, там излишки, роскошь:

Жрут сервелат домашние кошки.

Припев:

А денег не было и нет,

А денег не было и нет.

The lyrics of the song "Money" by Korol i Shut convey a sense of resentment and injustice associated with social inequality.

The constant repetition of the phrase "There was no money and there is no money" emphasizes the hopelessness of the lyrical hero's situation. He sees a gap between himself and the "crystal houses" where people "full of shit" live. The hero contrasts himself with the "bourgeoisie" who choose carpets, while he seeks solace in alcohol.

The image of domestic cats eating salami serves as a satirical grotesque that ridicules the luxury and extravagance of the "deputies" against the backdrop of the needs of ordinary people. The song does not offer solutions, but rather expresses despair and protest against the unjust structure of society.
