The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Kirov Plant" (Kirovskiy zavod) the performer of the song "The King and the Jester"

I get up at five in the morning -

It's time for me to go to the factory.

Work with inspiration -

Just a pleasure.

There is a crazy crowd in the subway,

Here is a monolith of people like me.

But I'm a little sad -

My stomach is empty.

I get up early in the morning,

I really like it.

Chorus:

In the morning, in the morning

It's time for the Kirovsky Zavod.

I stand at the machine all day -

I give out the daily norm.

I like work,

Smelly yawn.

And then I drag myself home -

I eat, drink and go to bed.

But I will have a bonus,

Honor and respect.

I get up early in the morning,

I really like it.

Chorus:

In the morning, in the morning

It's time for the Kirovsky Zavod.

They will give me a vacation in December,

And maybe even in November.

And if I'm lucky, then in May -

And I will sunbathe.

I am pleased with my fate.

Work is, oh my god.

And my family is proud of me,

How can you not get drunk here?

I get up early in the morning,

I really like it.

Chorus:

In the morning, in the morning

It's time for the Kirovsky Zavod.

Я поднимаюсь в пять утра -

Мне на завод идти пора.

Работа с вдохновеньем -

Просто наслажденье.

В метро безумная толпа,

Здесь монолит таких, как я.

Но мне немного грустно -

В моём желудке пусто.

Встаю я рано поутру,

Мне это очень понутру.

Припев:

С утра, с утра

На Кировский Завод пора.

Я у станка весь день стою -

Дневную норму выдаю.

Мне нравится работа,

Вонючая зевота.

А после я домой тащусь -

Поем, попью и спать ложусь.

Зато мне будет премия,

Почёт и уважение.

Встаю я рано поутру,

Мне это очень понутру.

Припев:

С утра, с утра

На Кировский Завод пора.

Дадут мне отпуск в декабре,

А, может, даже в ноябре.

А повезёт, то в мае, -

И я позагораю.

Доволен я своей судьбой.

Работа это ж, боже ж мой.

И мной семья гордится,

Ну как тут не напиться?

Встаю я рано поутру,

Мне это очень понутру.

Припев:

С утра, с утра

На Кировский Завод пора.

The song "Kirovsky Zavod" by the band "Korol i Shut" presents a satirical depiction of the life of a Soviet worker. The lyrical hero of the song is an ordinary man who is forced to wake up every day at five in the morning and go to the factory. Despite the hard and monotonous work, the hero tries to find positive aspects in it, convincing himself that he "enjoys the work".

However, the text is imbued with irony. Phrases like "Work with inspiration - Pure pleasure" and "I like my job, Stinky yawn" clearly contrast with the description of reality: "A mad crowd in the subway, A monolith of people like me" and "And then I drag myself home - I eat, I drink and I go to sleep".

The hero clings to the illusion of a better life, dreaming of vacation, bonuses, and respect, but these dreams seem unattainable and pale against the backdrop of a gray and bleak everyday life. Even the desire to "get drunk" at the end of the song speaks of the hero's desire to escape from reality and forget.

Thus, the song "Kirovsky Zavod" is a satire on the Soviet system, which turns people into a faceless mass, depriving them of their individuality and joy in life.
