First of all I want to tell some about this band. Nautilus Pompilius (Nau) was founded in early 80's. First album Переезд (Act of moving from one flat to another) was recorded in 1983. Second one is Невидимка(Invisible Man). I am posting here translation of lyrics from second album. Nowadays, after fall of Ussr, its interesting to see this as inside. Hope it will be interesting.
Original lyrics are here Enjoy.
========================================================
Nautilus Pompilius - Невидимка
________________________________________________
1. Она Есть - It Does Exist

Since all songs died,Songs i dont know
I can't being calm.
Short time ago, there was absolutely different music
Where I am? Who I am? Where is destination?
I cut off pieces from my body
Throw it on the floor
It falls senselessly
I am to meet The Music
I look at Music as I only can
I listen to Music as I only can
But I don't hear It, and don't see
So, why do I think, it really exist?
________________________________________________
2. Превращение - Alteration

I stop to have got a heart
I don't need it anymore
I am going to live long
Althrough it all is unable to understand

Also I have to cut off my ears
Eyes, hands, remove stomach
Then I'll not listen, looking
Touching, Eating

And if I only would delete
My own head
I will surely live long
Everybody thought different? What a pity…

Ok, In real I'll continue to live
Just remove all pointless things
Many people searching the exit
From the maze of monumental ideas

I stop to have got a body
Until I need
Hands, eyes, head and heart
To realize all thoughts
And I'll get it all back
I'll become a man
I'll become a man
I'll become a man

I stop to have got a heart
I don't need it anymore
I am going to live long
Althrough it all is unable to understand

Also I have to cut off my ears
Eyes, hands, remove stomach
Then I'll not listen, looking
Touching, Eating

And if I only would delete
My own head
I will surely live long
Everybody thought different? What a pity…

3. Малкенький Подвиг - Small Feat

If you want
To walk in my head
I'll see you off
And I really know
What I want
I only request you
To be cautious

Because its so easy to break
Fragile machine of me
Please, dont strike my head
With your heavy feet

You see chairs and walls
Windows, tables and people
Burning in fire… ough!
Here I will become retarded one
Or real professional
But its not what I am talking about
I am happy here

Right near cerebellum
You will find my home
Its really simple
But inside of this
You only find a scary doubt
But don't be impatient
I am happy there

And in vanity of life
Will you find a reason visit it again?
Your answer is running
Through my head

After it all
You will understand me
Forever
I will be a bit boring for you
But it all does not matter
There is a meaning to live

Because of your trace
Soft, huge, elastic trace in my head
Look at me, I am newborn
Newborn again

One, who know price of pain
Who know size of my wishes
It is my little feat for your
All my life is a little feat for you

4. Свидание - Rendezvous

Lamp, picture, broken table
It all dances last time now
It falls pointlessly
The less noise the more caprice

Pushing me out of warm
Numbing with every step
Wish my Death never come
Can't see her* anymore

Touching the lamps
Flying the halls
I feel the mercy
Of glances for me
If my Death reject me
I'll fall asleep forever

Oh, this is my bride, with scythe on shoulder
White shroud quiet like a bridal veil
Waving to me, afraid not to get me
Scream to me scary "Its time, honey!"

Oh, sorry, seems to be fate
Weeding is prorogued for the worst time
Wait for me, I will return forever
Buried with you in marriage

* In Russian folklore, Death is female persone.

5. Никто Мне Не Поверит - Noone Will Trust Me

Noone will trust me, but I was taller
Because, there was absolutely different mode
Shoes on platform were popular earlier
Now its on slim sole

Noone will trust me, but I was svelter
Because, there was different pants
Tight jeans were popular earlier
Now wide "bananas" are

Sure, noone will trust me
But I were much more serious
Because there was another music
We listened beaytiful music
Now I test my father's patience

Noone will trust me, maybe I am elding
And become fatter
Shorter, more stupid, and surely irrogant
Because I was much more young
There was different time
There was absolutely different time

Because I was more tall
I was more svelte
I was more serious
Because I was more young
There was absolutely different time earlier

6. Алчи, Алчи - Alchi, Alchi
(have no idea how to translate songname)

Alchi Alchi, you, boy
Where you was so long
See you, Alchi, mama is crying
Dear, where you was?

Why you glance is curved
Why you beath with nose
You smell cigarette smoke
Heavy adult cigarettes

You have wineglass in pocket
And knife in boot
You are dirty and uncombed
What are you look like?

Why you are rocking
Being silent

Mama, master Kolya, wait for me outdoors
Thats my knife, thats my matches
Give it
I am going to work

Alchi Alchi, you, boy
Where you was so long?

7. Буги с Косой - Boogie with a Scythe*

Boogie-woogie is so brutal dance
Boogie-woogie is so unrussian dance
It falls on my head as ice rain
And me run as in a dream
Boogie whispers in my ear, boogie enter my soul

Boogie-woogie is lifestyle
Boogie-woogie is style of thinking
I detach headphones from my head
What a shit is in our heads
Boogie blinding me, I can't see

Why should I tolerate this all
I want to live like usual man, and die
But dance…
Boogie-woogie dance….
More..

Boogie-woogie lives in my hair
Boogie-woogie sit on my shoulders
Oh…
Boogie-woogie…
Boogie with a scythe

*Scythe is a usual atribute of Death.

8. Идиллия - Idyll

There are absolute tranquillity
Tranquillity is forever, as we have it
People are rest, washing and cleaning
But clear knocking is everywhrere
Knock-knock-knock

Womans are numbed near that building
Grabbed watering cans in their cans
And yard keeper is catched litter so dexterous
But glassy knocking is everywhrere

Althrough I have no sence of sentenceness of our life
This sound driving me under the ground

And mute fathers learning deaf children how to live
And house manager walking the street to get sunbath
But transparent knocking is everywhrere

And everything is so dexterous here, as we own it
And everything is so quick, everytime we do it quiet fast
But clear knocking is everywhrere

This sound driving me under the ground for a long time
Time knocking our heads by dominoes

9. Мифическая Столовая - Mythical Dining Hall

Yesterday I ate something
And I cant comfort myself
I did'nt sleep today
Sleeplessness catch me

At morning I will rise, and go again
In this damned dining hall
I have to know finally
What is palmed off for us here

Morning, I stand
I am confused, excited
Here I am again
I am in doubt I am shocked

And now I swallow this shit again
Photographing taste and colour
Close my eyes
Try to imagine something better

After one minute, I feel my hair rise
Mind is full of vague guesses
I try to constrain my shout

Ok, stuff, I tried here being called
Simple name, simple as 2x2
But, wait, I think…
It is a bit oversugared

This eat have no name
This is felichita

Morning, I stand
I am confused, excited
Here I am again
I am in doubt I am shocked

10. В Который Раз Я Вижу R'N'R - I See R'N'R Again

My brain is tied in vice of headphones
I am ready to tear contact with reality
I am diving rock'n'roll
It flies to me like a mass

I waited for this many times
With presentiment of electroshock
From fans, wishing to get it's nugs
As a electricity contact

It's time! I turning off the lights
Leaving a square screen on the wall
I see, leopard follow the herd
And they crying

But admire for cat
Its strongest beast at all
Althrough they are more
Beacuse he is the one, who dont know losings

Its like a game, and sides seems to get ardor
I am neither antelope nor cheetah
But feel the drive too

I know what is interesting in there
I try to be someone from them
But I am both of them
And I don't know who will win

Now running, follow em
Can't stop even if I fall
I will roll

Until somebody will tire
I'll roll like a ball
For one hour
In my mind
I followed your image
Tovarisch Rock'n'roll

11. Князь Тишины - Lord of Silence

Whistle, I walk moonlight
But we have to not turn around
Following, following
Following me, tall 70 foots
Kindest lord, Lord of silence
Kindest lord, Lord of silence
My Lord - Lord of silence…
My Lord - Lord of silence…
My Lord - Lord of silence…

And I am lost, if I will be silent
And stared at the moon
Groan, crush, groan, smash
I am smashed in moment by
Kindest lord, Lord of silence
My Lord - Lord of silence…
My Lord - Lord of silence…
My Lord - Lord of silence…

12. Последнее Письмо - The Last Letter

When all songs died
Songs I don't know
Scream in bitter air
My last paper ship

Good bye America, oh
Place, I never visited
Farewell forever
Take banjo, play as farewell

Your grated jeans
Is too short for me now
We've been learned for so long
To love your forbidden things

Good bye America, oh
Place, I never visited
Will I hear song,
Which I remembered forever?
_____________________________________________
13. Кто Я? - Who am I?

Meetings, words, discussions
Men's with soldering iron device
People with tiny typing, washing
Sewing machineies
Big machines, huge machines
School of mimicry of desture
Arming to nowhere
Asks from nowhere
Answers
Training in front of mirror with communal eyeglasses
Schools, subschools, universes..

Where I am, Who I am, What is destination?
Where I am, Who am I, Where is destination?

I cut off pieces from my body
Form it to sergeantes
Outward investigation
Order them lining
Communications
They never return
Never

Less, more less
Less our what
Which of more
Much more, more
More than something because of
Due of circumstances…
Obligations, credit, advance pay, debt…
Third in room
Third in phone
Third in bed
Sir, no
Sir, yes
Understood..*

Where I am, Who am I, Where is destination?
Where I am, Who am I, Where is destination?
Never!

I cut off pieces from my body
Form it to generals of army
Grace calling
They will report me
About my war progress
Maps in staff are constant
It never changes
Never never never…

*Originally, this part is abstract, i tried to save cases playing, and all nice things, hope its a bit enjoyable at least.
